KB build process

The Phenoscape KB build process goes through several steps in converting input data sources to a queryable knowledgebase. This page provides some description for each of the steps, most or all of which are implemented in the phenoscape-owl-tools project.

OWL conversion

The Phenoscape Knowledgebase works as a single unified OWL model. While some inputs (e.g. the shared ontologies such as Uberon and PATO) are natively distributed as OWL documents, others are converted to OWL from some other representation.
