Modifying the Ontology

To modify the PRIDE ontology, update the OBO file (pride_cv.obo) and convert it to OWL using the following protocol.

Local Testing of OWL Generation and Validation

To test the ontology conversion and validation process locally, follow these steps:

1. Validate the OBO File

Ensure you have Docker installed and run the following command to validate the OBO file using fastobo-validator:

docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" -w /work obolibrary/odkfull \
    fastobo-validator --all pride_cv.obo

2. Convert OBO to OWL and Validate

Use the robot tool to generate the OWL file and validate it:

# Pull the ROBOT container if not already available
docker pull obolibrary/robot

# Convert OBO to OWL
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" -w /work obolibrary/robot \
    robot convert -vvv -i pride_cv.obo -o pride_cv.owl --format owl

# Validate the OWL file
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" -w /work obolibrary/robot \
    robot report -vvv --input pride_cv.owl --output report.tsv

3. Review the Validation Report

After running the above commands, check report.tsv for validation errors.

CI/CD Pipeline

This process is automated in the CI/CD pipeline, which runs on every push and pull request to master and dev branches:

1. Validate OBO file using fastobo-validator.
2. Convert OBO to OWL using robot.
3. Validate OWL file and generate a report (report.tsv).
4. Upload report as an artifact.

You can check the CI/CD logs and artifacts for additional details.

By following these steps, you can ensure that modifications to the PRIDE ontology maintain consistency and correctness before committing changes.
