The Oort (Obo Ontology Release Tool) is an application to help manage ontologies and manage the ontology release process.
Oort can be used
- Via the Oort Command Line
- Via an easy-to-install Desktop application
- Via the java API
The release manager takes as input an editors version of an ontology and creates a number of release versions in both obo and owl format.
These versions currently include:
- The main version, with additional non-redundant links added via an OWL reasoner (i.e. classified in advance).
- A simple version, which corresponds to the main version with any imported or "mireoted" classes removed
- A version that has not had been reasoned over - the non-classified version
This will help to streamline the process of releasing an OBO ontology (or OWL ontology) by its editors.
Oort will also optionally perform MIREOT-like procedures to create a merged ontology bringing in subsets of external ontologies.
The official org.oboformat converter as part of the OWL-API is used.
