The following ontologies from the OBO repository are not listed in the table, but are of potential importance: MeSH (note that current OBO version has flaws), GO, Chebi, Celltype, Entrez Taxonomy. They can be downloaded as 'RDF / Instance style' or 'OWL / Class style' from http://www.berkeleybop.org/ontologies/

Description of these tables
Ontology types: Describes whether the ontology is pure RDF (without or mostly without OWL constructs), OWL DL (including ontologies that are actually OWL lite and ontologies that are supposed to be OWL DL but classify as OWL Full because of some errors in ontology design) or OWL Full (ontologies that are intended to be OWL Full). Furthermore, we distinguish between 'Class style' (ontologies that mostly rely on classes and property restrictions for the expression of data and information) and 'Instance style' (ontologies that have a smaller set of classes that act as a 'schema', but mostly rely on instances for the expression of data and information).
