[MOBY-l] [moby] Question about Object Ontology

[Mark Wilkinson]

=================
The Official way:

The "retrieveResourceURLs" API call of MOBY Central (implemented in both
the Perl and the Java clients, I believe) will give you the URL's from
which you can download the various MOBY ontologies.
http://biomoby.open-bio.org/CVS_CONTENT/moby-live/Docs/MOBY-
S_API/XMLPayloads.html#retrieveResourceURLs
===================

===================
"Fast" (but not supported) way:

At the moment, the Object ontology is at:
http://mobycentral.icapture.ubc.ca/RESOURCES/MOBY-S/Objects/
====================


The ontologies are returned in RDF, and can be viewed in any RDF-capable
viewer.  There are some tools in the MOBY CVS that are specifically
designed to browse/edit the ontologies - e.g. Martin Senger's MOBY
Dashboard.  Which tool you chose depends on what you need to use the
ontologies for, I guess...

Hope that helps!

"For most of this century we have viewed communications as a conduit, 
       a pipe between physical locations on the planet. 
What's happened now is that the conduit has become so big and interesting 
      that communication has become more than a conduit, 
       it has become a destination in its own right..."
