Warning
This repository originally contained code for converting the Research Organization Registry (ROR) into an ontology of instances. The code has now been upstreamed in the following two places:
- The code for automatically interacting with Zenodo to download the latest (or an explicitly requested) version of ROR is now in https://github.com/cthoyt/ror-downloader
- The code for constructing an ontology from ROR is now part of PyOBO, which is a bigger suite for database to ontology conversions. See https://github.com/biopragmatics/pyobo/blob/main/src/pyobo/sources/ror.py.
The OBO DB Ingest project at https://github.com/biopragmatics/obo-db-ingest now stores the results of many database to ontology conversions. The ROR resources are listed under https://github.com/biopragmatics/obo-db-ingest/tree/main/export/ror#readme.
Eventually, I would like to forward the old rorio PURLs to point to the associated obo-db-ingest PURLs as described in the table below.
| Format | Legacy PURL | New PURL |
|---|---|---|
| OWL Functional | https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.ofn.gz | |
| OWL RDF/XML | https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.owl.gz | https://w3id.org/biopragmatics/resources/ror/ror.owl.gz |
| OBO Flat File | https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.obo.gz | https://w3id.org/biopragmatics/resources/ror/ror.obo |
| OBO Graph JSON | https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.json.gz | https://w3id.org/biopragmatics/resources/ror/ror.json.gz |
In the screenshot, you can see the has suborganization,
is suborganization of, and located in relations for the example
organization.
The build script is now a thin wrapper around PyOBO code. It can be run with
uv:
uv run build.pyThe data downloaded from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6347574 are licensed under CC0. So is this repo. This is additionally self-documented in the ontology files.
