Hi Mary,

I am copying this message to Liya. I guess this can be pulled out from the 
Ontology DB tables. I am not so sure about the hierarchy, but here is what I 
did. By using the Dag-EDIT ver 1.407, I saved the gramene ontology+definition 
file by using the OBO adapter and I can get a complete record of terms as 
following. I hope this will work. Earlier versions of Dag-EDIT used to have an 
adapter for generating an RDF format, but this one seems better.


[Typedef]
id: part_of
name: Part of

name: develops from

[Term]
