OAK is a Python library for executing common ontology operations over a variety of backends.

It provides a collection of interfaces for various ontology operations, including:

  • look up basic features of an ontology element, such as its label, definition, relationships, or aliases
  • search an ontology for a term
  • validate an ontology
  • modify or delete terms
  • generate and visualize subgraphs
  • identify lexical matches and export as SSSOM mapping tables
  • perform more advanced operations, such as graph traversal, OWL axiom processing, or text annotation

For examples and more information, please refer to the OAK documentation.
