Input file format

Input files for usage example

Database entry: edam:0001234

[Term]
id: EDAM:0001234
name: Sequence set (nucleic acid)
namespace: data
def: Any collection of multiple nucleotide sequences and associated metadata that do not (typically) correspond to common sequence database records or database entries.
subset: data
is_a: EDAM:0000850 ! Sequence set
is_a: EDAM:0002977 ! Nucleic acid sequence

Output file format

The default behaviour is to report the entire OBO term statement from the ontology. Optionally, then only the the term id, name and namespace, or just the term id will be reported.

The output file by default is in OBO plain text format as used by the ontologies in the EMBOSS data directory and explained at http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.obo-1_2.shtml.

Optionally, the output can be in HTML, OBO-XML or JSON format.

Output files for usage example

File: 0001234.obo

[Term]
id: EDAM:0000006
name: Data
namespace: data
def: A type of data in common use in bioinformatics.
subset: data

Data files

OBO-format ontologies must be installed in the EMBOSS data directory and indexed. This is done automatically for typical installations.
