SWO-EDAM Merge: Overview (original) (raw)

We are currently in the process of merging the SWO and EDAM ontologies. While some of the hierarchies (e.g. SWO data format specification with EDAM Format and SWO data with EDAM Data) are relatively straightforward to merge, others (e.g. the SWO operation hierarchy) require more thought.

There are four broad stages to this merging work. As each stage is completed, a blog post will be written about exactly what work was performed. Below is an outline of the areas of work.

• Preparing EDAM
  • Conversion from OBO to OWL
  • Modification of the resulting EDAM OWL file and import into SWO
• Merging the format and data hierarchies
  • Changes performed within the format hierarchies
  • Issues arising from changes to the format hierarchies
  • Changes performed within the data hierarchies
  • Issues arising from changes to the data hierarchies
• Merging the Operation hierarchy
• General issues arising

These posts will be written and then updated as work progresses, so once created they will not necessarily be static until the entire merge is complete. You can view all the swo-edam merge posts together by clicking on the “swo-edam merge” tag at the end of any of these posts.
