ECOSIM Ontology
EXPERIMENTAL
Methods
Seeding of initial parameter list
chatgpt ADA was used to create a program to iterate through the ecosim fortran codebase and generate an obo format file of all parameter codes plus their names.
IDs of the form ECOSIM:<CODE> were created
Note: in future these may be translated to numeric IDs but for now the codes are convenient
Generation of definitions
The OAK generate-definitions command was used to generate definitions for all terms
Generation of grouping classes
Each parameter was organized into a grouping class.
We used Claude due to the large context window. A csv of all CODE-label pairs were uploaded to Claude, Claude then suggested groupings for these. These were examined in text format, we then asked Claude to convert to OBO format.
Inferring linkages to other concepts
We curated a handful of OBO stanzas where we linked each parameter to other concepts.
This was loaded into a curategpt database, to serve as in-context examples.
