[Biopython-dev] OBO2OWL parser / converter

[Hilmar Lapp]

Hi Ed -

is your converter operating in a way that is congruent with (or even  
utilizing) the mapping and the converter provided by the NCBO and  
Berkeley Ontology projects?

http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/OboInOwl:Main_Page

If not, I'm not sure how beneficial it is for users to have multiple  
and possibly conflicting mappings.
