Onto API shift to UberGraph

[colinkcurtis]

Currently, Onto API loads the seven relevant obo files (hp, uberon, cl, chebi, mondo, go, ro) behind the scenes and serves them through a set of python functions and a Flask application at onto.renci.org/apidocs

Based on conversation with Jim Balhoff and Chris Bizon:

• BROADLY: Create an interface from UberGraph to UberOnto API to replace and improve upon the current Onto API.

SPECIFICALLY:

• Accept input to UberOnto API in current Onto API input format
• Convert input to SPARQL query
• Transmit SPARQL query to UberonGraph (UG)
• re-format results from UG?
• Serve formatted results at UberOnto API

UPDATE:
Access this service at https://uberonto.renci.org/apidocs !

• /descendants (~7200x faster for GO:0005575 query!)
• /id_list
• /label
• /children

TO DO:

• get the reverse proxy set up for uberonto.renci.org/apidocs
• all_properties
• closeMatch
• exactMatch
• is_a
• lookup (?)
• parents
• search
• siblings
• synonyms
• xrefs
