NAME

ONTO-PERL - perl modules for CCO and OBO ontologies

DESCRIPTION

'ONTO-PERL' a collection of PERL modules for dealing with the Cell Cycle Ontology (CCO) and in general with OBO ontologies (like the Gene Ontology). This code distribution gathers object-oriented modules (for dealing with the ontology elements such as Term, Relationship, and so forth), scripts (for typical tasks such as format conversions: obo2owl, owl2obo; besides, there are also many examples that can be easily adapted for specific applications), and a set of test files for ensuring the implementation quality.
