Abstract

The knowledge representation used in KB Bio 101 contains many of the standard features such as classes, individuals, class-subclass hierarchy, disjointness, slots, slot hierarchy, necessary and sufficient properties, and Horn rules. By expressing this representation in first-order logic with equality [10], we have translated it into multiple formats including, OWL2 functional and an answer set program. As explained in [5], the translation of KB Bio 101 into OWL is lossy. These translations are available through our website [10], and an OWL version is available through Bio Portal [4]. To facilitate an inspection of its content, especially its graph structured existential rules, we have also made available the graphical view of the concepts as seen through our system on a public website [10]. Because
these graphs were generated through an automatic screen-capture process, in some cases, their layout and cropping is not optimal. We hope their availability will help the community to better understand the content of KB Bio 101.
