OBO flat file format is used mainly in bioinformatics to store and share ontologies related to biosciences. OBO flat file format was initially developed for [http://www.geneontology.org/ The Gene Ontology]. However, there exists over 60 different and public ontologies in OBO format today. These ontologies can be browsed and downloaded at [http://www.obofoundry.org Open Biological Ontologies Foundry]. | OBO flat file format is used mainly in bioinformatics to store and share ontologies related to biosciences.

Converts OBO flat file v1.2 ontology to a topic map and merges converted topic map to Wandora. Import begins with menu option File > Import > OBO import.... Wandora accepts also OBO files to be dropped over Wandora window. If OBO file is dropped to layer stack, new layer is created for the imported file.
OBO flat file format is used mainly in bioinformatics to store and share ontologies related to biosciences. OBO flat file format was initially developed for The Gene Ontology. However, there exists over 60 different and public ontologies in OBO format today. These ontologies can be browsed and downloaded at Open Biological Ontologies Foundry.
As an example of OBO import we have converted the Gene Ontology to a topic map. Below is a screenshot of Wandora with Gene Ontology topic map open. Addition to OBO import, Wandora is also capable to export topic map back to OBO flat file format. Read more at OBO flat file export and OBO round trip.
