By OBO style do you mean convert the existing DAML version into a 
format accepted by OBO, presumably OWL?

The Reasoned version of the DAML makes a huge difference - thanks.

Just to check my understanding of what's going on here - reasoning the 
ontology has pulled together all possible hierarchies that were defined 
in the model but previously 'hidden' in the unreasoned version by 
virtue of it being a non-redundant listing of terms? Hence the reasoned 
version now shows every allowable path to a class and so you get a 
better perspective of what lives where?

Cheers,

	Simon.
