86 | <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong> 1 (<strong>RF1</strong>) <strong>Guide</strong> July 2012<br />

An example execution command on a Windows machine, to produce the stated view of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT according<br />

to OWL Functional syntax, would then look like the following:<br />

C:\> perl tls2_StatedRelationshipsToOwlKRSS_INT_20120131.pl OWLF<br />

sct2_Concept_Snapshot_INT_20120131.txt<br />

sct2_Description_Snapshot-en_INT_20120131.txt<br />

sct2_StatedRelationship_Snapshot_INT_20120131.txt<br />

res_StatedOWLF_INT_20120131.owl<br />

2.3.5.2.5. Importing into an editor<br />

Once the output file has been successfully created (e.g. res_StatedOWLF_INT_20120131.owl), an ontology<br />

editor that uses the OWL API should be able to import the file, assuming that the editor can handle very large<br />

files and that it is configured to use large amounts of memory, and your system has adequate memory (see<br />

FAQ below). The current version of the transform script has been tested with Protege running the OWL API<br />

version 3.2.2 and the OWL 2 Profile is OWL 2 EL.<br />

1. Where do I obtain a copy of the OWL version of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT?<br />

• You can currently generate an OWL version of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT using the Perl script and 'stated form'<br />

file in the standard distribution of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT.<br />

• The Perl script and Stated Relationships files are distributed in the main release in different directories.<br />

The script is located in a folder called ‘Resources/StatedRelationshipsToOwlKRSS/ ’ and the RF2<br />

snapshot files for concepts, Descriptions and stated Relationships are located in a folder called<br />

'RF2<strong>Release</strong>/Snapshot/Terminology'. Prior to the January 2012 release, the transform was based on<br />

an <strong>RF1</strong> format stated Relationships file - see documentation of prior releases for historical data and<br />

transform scripts.<br />

2. What do you mean I need to ‘generate’ the OWL version of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT?<br />

• The OWL version of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT is currently not distributed with the core release. However you can<br />

generate a local OWL version of <strong>SNOMED</strong> CT by executing the Perl script mentioned above. The<br />

instructions for using the Perl script are included in the Stated Relationships <strong>Guide</strong> (part of the Technical<br />

Implementation <strong>Guide</strong>), and also as comments in the header of the file containing the Perl script, which<br />

can be viewed in your favorite text editor (e.g. Notepad, Wordpad, etc).<br />
