Hello,

The Gene Wiki team [1] is currently loading and synchronizing several biomedical ontologies from the OBO Foundry [2]. We do have somewhat generalizable code for creating Wikidata importers from OWL files [3].  For the moment, we have held back doing mass imports of *all* CC0 ontologies because each bot still requires customization and maintenance, and keeping the synchronization current is a continual challenge [4].  (And, as a general principle we only import resources that we ourselves have a tangible use for to avoid "stamp collecting".)  If there are specific ontologies that you are interested in importing, we are happy to coordinate to avoid duplication of effort.

Best,
-andrew

Dear all,
I thank you for your efforts. As shown in our research paper, many types of Biomedical entities and relations are not supported by Wikidata. When I saw OBO Library known to include many CC0 ontologies related to the medical field, I found that some of the ontologies support missing types of biomedical items and statements. http://www.ontobee.org/. I knew that several OBO ontologies have already been integrated to Wikidata. I ask if there is a work to include all OBO library ontologies to Wikidata. As well, I ask if there is already a work to automatically update Wikidata if OBO ontologies are updated.
Yours Sincerely,

Objet : Important, Integrating OBO Library into Wikidata database

Dear all,
I thank you for your efforts. As shown in our research paper, many types of Biomedical entities and relations are not supported by Wikidata. When I saw OBO Library known to include many CC0 ontologies related to the medical field, I found that some of the ontologies support missing types of biomedical items and statements. http://www.ontobee.org/. I knew that several OBO ontologies have already been integrated to Wikidata. I ask if there is a work to include all OBO library ontologies to Wikidata.
