SSWAP

Simple Semantic Web Architecture and Protocol

The SSWAP Protocol

The core classes and properties that allow any resource to use SSWAP.
All your graphs should be based around the use of this canonical graph structure.

Biology Core Set

Ontologies containing core classes and properties useful for establishing
a minimum vocabulary with relations to the Open Biomedical Ontologies and others.

Open Biomedical Ontologies

A set of ontologies converted from OBO format to SSWAP format


OWL Ontology OWL Docs Source File Ontology Provider Description
OBO OBO owldoc obo.owl Open Biomedical Ontologies High level classes for major OBO ontologies; useful for specifying OBO data types for SSWAP input (sswap:Subject) and output (sswap:Object) data types
EO none environment_ontology.obo Environment Ontology A controlled vocabulary to describe different types of supplemental environments that have been reported in the experimental profiles of gene expression and phenotype (mutant and QTL) studies on cereal plants
GO none gene_ontology.obo Gene Ontology A controlled vocabulary to describe gene and gene product attributes in any organism
MO none MGEDOntology.owl Microarray Gene Expression Data Society A controlled vocabulary for the annotation of microarray experiments
PO none po anatomy.obo

Plant Ontology A controlled vocabulary of anatomy and growth and developmental stages in various plants
SO none so.obo Sequence Ontology A structured controlled vocabulary for sequence annotation, for the exchange of annotation data and for the description of sequence objects in databases
TO none plant trait.obo Gramene Ontologies A controlled vocabulary to describe phenotypic traits in cereal plants; each trait is a distinguishable feature, characteristic, quality or phenotypic feature of a developing or mature cereal plant

Ontologies Emphasizing Individuals and their Properties

This is the preferred way to build modular ontologies, especially for use in semantic web services.
It specifies explicit individuals (as web resources) and their properties. It relies on a reasoner to infer implicit classes from sets of individuals.


OWL Ontology OWL Docs OBO Source File Ontology Provider Description
OpenBiomedicalOntologies none none Open Biomedical Ontologies Defines classes and properties that authors of ontologies based on Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) should use to define the individuals that are included in their ontologies. The ontologies in this table are examples of this type of ontology
OBOProperties none none Open Biomedical Ontologies Specifies a set of properties for describing data atributes of individuals of OBO related classes. Domain specific ontologies based on OBO describe their classes and properties by creating subclasses and subproperties of the classes and properties defined in this and the OBO ontologies. The ontologies in this table are examples of this type of ontology
ArabidopsisDevelopmentOntology none arabidopsis_development.obo TAIR Ontologies A structured controlled vocabulary for the development of Arabidopsis
GeneOntology none gene_ontology.obo Gene Ontology A controlled vocabulary to describe gene and gene product attributes in any organism
SequenceOntology none so.obo Sequence Ontology A structured controlled vocabulary for sequence annotation, for the exchange of annotation data and for the description of sequence objects in databases
TIGR Taxonomy Individuals none none TIGR database Taxonomy data from the TIGR database in OWL format as individuals. The data provides the values for properties defined in the TIGRTaxonomyRecord ontology above.
