ClassCastException / crash when running --make-species-subset

[kimrutherford]

Hi.

We're having trouble with processing the latest go-plus.owl with owltools.

With this command line:

(cd /tmp/; wget http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/go/extensions/go-plus.owl) &&
(cd go-svn/ontology/extensions; owltools /tmp/go-plus.owl --use-catalog --reasoner elk --make-species-subset -t NCBITaxon:4896 -o -f obo /tmp/go-plus-pombe-only.obo)

we get this exception:

It last worked successfully on August 2nd.

Thanks in advance.

Hi was this fixed?

@kimrutherford - does this work

@balhoff - what's the best way of preventing these typos in the ontology in future? A custom sparql query?

[balhoff]

We should probably just have a SPARQL check that never_in_taxon only has IRI values. This has happened repeatedly.

@kimrutherford - does this work

It works for me now.

When I run the above command I get an error catalog-v001.xml (No such file or directory) and I was wondering where to get the catalog file specific for gene ontology?

[balhoff]

@wkpalan you don't need the catalog file; just delete that part from the command. You can just provide the ontology file directly. The catalog provides a customized map from ontology IRIs to ontology files.

Thank you. I could get the command working, but wasn't sure whether not having a catalog file would change the results.
