get_obo_converter

get_obo_converter() → Converter[source]

Get the latest OBO Foundry context.

Returns:

A converter object representing the OBO Foundry’s JSON-LD context, which contains a simple mapping from OBO Foundry preferred prefixes for ontologies that contain case stylization (e.g., GO, not go; VariO, not vario).

It does not include synonyms nor any non-ontology prefixes - e.g., it does not include semantic web prefixes like rdfs, it does not include other useful biomedical prefixes like hgnc.

If you want a more comprehensive prefix map, consider using the Bioregistry via get_bioregistry_converter() or by chaining the OBO converter in front of the Bioregistry depending on your personal/project preferences using curies.chain().
