Hi Lewis,

I can answer some of your questions. The code is developed by the NCBO project, which is being directed now by John Graybeal. The developers occasionally roll up all needed software packages with the latest patched software into an image (a “virtual appliance”) that can be installed on a web server. For a while it ran on one of my servers at the U. of South Carolina, but now we run it as a service on the ECITE server. After installation, we modify it cosmetically to use the ESIP logo and earth science terminology and upload a small number of ontologies.

The last time NCBO created a virtual appliance was ~2 years ago, which is why our version 2.4 is so far behind NCBO 4.29 and has many unpatched errors. John might know when the next virtual appliance will be created.

The Semantic Portal code is basically the NCBO code on the GitHub Repository, which is public.

There is an NCBO-maintained wiki with documentation for working with the Portal and the virtual appliance at
https://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Line/John,

Can one of you please point me to the documentation for interacting with the ontology server [0]?
I acknowledge that John, you mentioned that most of the documentation is managed over on the NCBO website, but if we has a link here it would be most helpful.
I’ve also found a bunch of code on the NCBO Github repository such as [1] which details how to interact with the NCBO service. I am currently evaluating whether this will work when I attempt to programmatically interact with [0].

Another question I have, where is the Semantic Portal code stored? Is it public?

Finally, the Semantic Portal states version 2.4, and bioportal is ahead at current release 4.29 (October 2016). Is there any relationship between the two? Is the former meant to shadow the latter?

Thanks very much in advance,
Lewis
