Convert the Research Organization Registry (ROR) into an OWL instance ontology

ROR in OWL

Similar to the ORCIDIO, which makes an ontology of instances of researchers via ORCID, this repository houses a script to convert the Research Organization Registry (ROR) into an ontology of instances of organizations.

The latest version can be downloaded with the following:

Format	PURL
OWL RDF/XML	https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.owl
OBO Flat File	https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.obo
OBO Graph JSON	https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.json

In the screenshot, you can see the part of, has part, and located in relations for the example organization. Unfortunately, Protégé does not have support for navigating partonomies on individuals.

Build

Install the requirements and run with:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python build.py

Named Entity Recognition

A Gilda index is generated for usage in named entity recognition (NER) and named entity normalization (NEN; i.e., grounding). It is available at https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.gilda.tsv.gz. It can be used like in:

from urllib.request import urlretrieve
from gilda import Grounder

url = "https://w3id.org/rorio/rorio.gilda.tsv.gz"
path = "rorio.gilda.tsv.gz"
urlretrieve(url, path)

grounder = Grounder(path)
scored_matches = grounder.ground("Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn")
