Software to install

OBO-Edit 2.1

Please use OBO-Edit 2.1beta16.

Note - for (recent versions of?) Windows, the Java Virtual Machine is limited to 1G. If OBO-Edit fails to load in windows with the default memory settings, please re-install with memory set to 1024M.

OBO to OWL conversion tool

Download the latest version (0.3) of the Obo Ontology Release Tool GUI from here:

• http://code.google.com/p/owltools/downloads/list

Installers are available for mac, windows and unix. After installation, you will have two applications:

• The obo2owl converter
• The Obo Ontology Release Tool

Protege 4.1

Please install Protege 4.1 release candidate 5 (build 235).

This version of Protege should not need any configuring.

Previous version required configuring to ensure labels (OBO names) are displayed in all components instead of IDs. Try loading an OBO file to test this (it should load straight in, even though the dialog box asks you to choose and OWL file). If you can only see IDs in the class hierarchy, then you should configure following the instructions here:
