[Biopython-dev] OBO2OWL parser / converter

[Ed Cannon]

Hi All,

I would like to thank you guys for all your hard work and effort in making
biopython a great piece of open software.

I would also like to introduce myself, my name is Ed Cannon, I am a postdoc
at Cambridge University working in the fields of  chemo/bioinformatics and
semantic web technologies in the group of Peter Murray-Rust.

Since a fair amount of my work involves ontologies, I have written an open
biomedical ontology (.obo) to web ontology language (.owl) converter. The
resultant file can be loaded and used from Protege. I was wondering if this
software would be of any interest to  the biopython community? I have just
sent a pull request to biopython on github. The code is located at my branch
on my account: http://github.com/eoc21/biopython/tree/eoc21Branch.

Thanks,

Ed
