OntoCAT paper

 OntoCAT paper has now been published by BMC Bioinformatics.

About

OntoCAT provides a seamless programming interface to query heterogeneous ontology resources including  EBI Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) and  NCBO BioPortal, as well as user-specified local ontology files in OWL and OBO (via  OWL API). Each resource is wrapped behind easy to learn Java, Bioconductor/R and REST web service commands enabling reuse and integration of ontology software efforts despite variation in technologies.

OntoCAT exists in many flavours including a stand-alone database and browser, REST service, google app application and ontoCAT R package to work with ontologies in R environment. See download page for package download options.

OntoCAT is open source and is available under the  LGPLv3 license.

Releases are often and comprehensively tested, so the end user does not have to worry about the updates in access to underlying resources.
