OBO round trip is a special import-export tool found in File > Export > OBO round trip.... Tool is used to test how OBO flat file ontologies convert to topic maps and back again to OBO ontologies. Tool can round trip several ontologies at once. Round tripped OBO files are stored to wandora_round_trip folder beside original OBO files. Conversion cycle should not loose or add any information to ontologies. Conversion changes can be tracked for example with the obodiff application shipped with the OBOEdit.

OBO round trip uses tool's own internal topic map for OBO-topic map-OBO conversion and leaves the current topic map untouched in Wandora.

Round tripping current (2008-01-22) OBO ontologies available at OBO Foundry, and comparing round tripped ontologies to original ontologies gives a result file. Some notes about the results:

  • Synonym differences on envo.obo are due to a design decision where OBO export tries to collapse all identical synonyms into a single synonym with several origin definitions. envo.obo contains identical synonyms such as:
 id: ENVO:00000004
 synonym: "administrative division" RELATED [ADL:FTT]
 synonym: "administrative division" RELATED [Getty:TGN]

Wandora round tripped ontology contains these synonyms collapsed into a single synonym specification:

 id: ENVO:00000004
 synonym: "administrative division" RELATED [ADL:FTT, Getty:TGN]
