| Barry Smith's [http://genomebiology.com/2005/6/5/R46 Relationship ontology] is important for thinking about what kinds of relationships to reuse. Note that the [http://obo.sourceforge.net OBO] ontologies he refers to use DAG-Edit style ontologies, not OWL-style ontologies. DAG-Edit has been typically used more for things like generating large hierarchical classification schemes than it has been used for representing database schemas in a generalizable way. The relationship ontology helps bridge that gap, should you choose to go that route.

| However, if you do consider DAG-Edit, as a warning, you should read
