This repository creates a Neo4j database of prominent biological ontologies. The import is accomplished using the EBI's ols-neo4j-app. The compressed Neo4j database (hetontology.db.tar.xz) can be easily deployed to a Neo4j instance to bring the convenience of the Cypher query language to ontologies.
The available ontologies are listed in ontology-config and include:
- the Gene Ontology
- the Human Disease Ontology
- the Uberon of anatomical structures
Each ontology is configured according to its properties file (see for example application-doid.properties). Currently, ontology annotations, such as Gene Ontology Annotations (term–gene associations) are not included.
See this discussion for additional information.
The import is performed by running sh execute.sh.
