An Introduction to OBO Ontologies
Document Actions
OBO ontologies are similar to description logic ontologies like the ones described by OWL or DAML+OIL. However, OBO ontologies are designed for the needs of the biological community, and thus have some unique (and sometimes unexpected) qualities. The OBO format provides the ability to track a large amount of meta-data, and includes mechanisms for some basic history auditing. The OBO format does not include all the features of OWL or DAML+OIL, and sometimes uses different semantics for features that - on the surface - seem to be identical to features of a description logic.
