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

[Edward Kawas]

For the object ontology, try:
http://mobycentral.icapture.ubc.ca/RESOURCES/MOBY-S/Objects without a
trailing forward slash.

If all you want to do is browse the ontologies, then checkout the code from
the cvs (http://biomoby.open-bio.org/index.php/for-developers/get_code), and
run Dashboard
(http://biomoby.open-bio.org/CVS_CONTENT/moby-live/Java/docs/Dashboard.html)
.
