    1919== Ontologizing ==

     21=== What are some life science semantic web initiatives I should know about? === 
     22 
     23Aside from initiatives that were explicitly mentioned at the hackathon, here are some other ones not to ignore: 
     24 * A number of biomedical ontologies are collected by the [http://www.bioontology.org/BioPortal NCBO BioPortal].  
     25 * For evolutionary biologists and phyloinformaticists there is [http://www.evolutionaryontology.org CDAO],  
     26 * for taxonomists and biodiversity informaticists there is the [http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/TDWGOntology TDWG ontology] and [http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/DarwinCore/WebHome DarwinCore].  
     27Maybe these already do what you're trying to do, but if you have to ontologize your own problem domain, make an effort to align your terms with these efforts. The idea is that we're building one big graph that connects everything!

    3644Protege 3 and Protege 4 are "philosophically" different, and represent a split in the global ontology community that runs roughly along the lines of the "OBO-fans" and the "OWL-DL-fans" (that's over-simplifying the situation, but I think it is by-and-large correct).  The two development communities had different target-audiences in mind when developing the software, and those audiences are reflected in the decisions made.  Protege 4 uses the Manchester OWL API "under the hood", and is somewhat more capable of manipulating OWL than Protege 3 is.  On the other hand, if you are planning to use Protege to generate RDF data ("individuals") manually, then Protege 3 might be more useful for you.
