Hi Wacek, indeed, as Chris mentioned, there is an overlapping. More details can be found in this wiki: http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/OboInOwl:Main_Page and http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pWN_4sBrd9l1Umn1LN8WuQQ . cheers, erick On May 29, 2007, at 10:00 PM, Chris Mungall wrote:
Hi Waclaw
Did you intend to send this email to ccofriends or to obo-format? The latter is where oboInOwl specifically is discussed, but this obviously overlaps with the cco translation

I see that you have invented and use a vocabulary for describing the elements of OBO term specifications. An interesting piece of work, but you may be unintentionally reinventing the wheel. Alternatively, you could consider using the SKOS vocabulary, endorsed by W3C.
At a first glance, many of oboinowl resources correspond to skos ones, though the mapping may not be obvious in some cases. For example, you address definitions by means of the class called 'definition', while in SKOS 'definition' is rather a property; where you have 'synonym' (a class), SKOS provides 'altLabel' (a property); etc.
Have a look:
