- What is a Web Ontology Language (OWL)?
- The W3C Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a Semantic Web language designed to represent rich and complex knowledge about things, groups of things, and relations between things. OWL is a computational logic-based language such that knowledge expressed in OWL can be exploited by computer programs, e.g., to verify the consistency of that knowledge or to make implicit knowledge explicit. OWL documents, known as ontologies, can be published in the World Wide Web and may refer to or be referred from other OWL ontologies.
- Where can I find an OWL file for the HGNC?
-
Our friends at SciBite
have created an OWL file for us. You can find the file at https://storage.googleapis.com/public-download-files/hgnc/owl/owl/hgnc.owl.This HGNC OWL file contains all genes in HGNC organised in a shallow hierarchy, classified by their locus type and gene group. The ontology contains approved gene symbol, approved gene name, previous names and symbols and mappings to external databases. Please contact help@scibite.com if you have any questions.
- How do I search/download HGNC data using the semantic web?
- You need to either use the URL of our hgnc.owl or download the file, and use the file or URL in a tool such as Stanford University's Protégé. To learn how to use Protégé check out their short training course.
