GFF3 is a tab-delimited, ontology-aware format of genomic features. It should be beneficial to represent such genomic features in RDF so that we can exchange data and make queries with SW technologies.

Scope
Mapping GFF2RDF (proposal)
The following table is in a very inmature state...
| GFF Element | RDF (XML) | Description |
| Column 1: "seqid" | <gff:seqid rdf:about="#ctg123"> | ? |
| Column 2: "source" | <gff:source>1000</gff:source> | ? |
| Column 3: "type" | <gff:type rdf:about="#SO:0000704"> | ? |
| Column 4: "start" | <gff:start>1000</gff:start> | ? |
| Column 5: "end" | <gff:stop>9000</gff:stop> | ? |
| Column 6: "score" | <gff:score>5.8e-42</gff:score> | ? |
| Column 7: "strand" | <gff:strand>+</gff:strand> | ? |
| Column 8: "phase" | <gff:phase>.</gff:phase> | ? |
| Column 9: "attributes" | <gff:attributes><rdf:Description>...</rdf:Description></gff:attributes> | ? |
Attribute Mapping (proposal) NEEDED?
A list of feature attributes in the format tag=value. Multiple tag=value pairs are separated by semicolons. URL escaping rules are
used for tags or values containing the following characters: ",=;". Spaces are allowed in this field, but tabs must be replaced with the ? URL escape.
| Attribute tags | RDF (XML) | Description |
| Column 1: "ID" | ||
| Column 2: "Name" | ||
| Column 3: "Alias" | ||
| Column 4: "Parent" | ||
| Column 5: "Target" | ||
| Column 6: "Gap" | ||
| Column 7: "Derives_from" | ||
| Column 8: "Note" | ||
| Column 9: "Dbxref" | ||
| Column 10: "Ontology_term" |
Tools
- GFF to OWL (Source code not available yet?)
- Chirs Mungall's code
Discussion
- application to general genomic features (BED, etc)?
- Genomic coordinate system (0-based / 1-based)
- Dasty?
- Attributes is more important for describing an object.
