Table 1 Translated OBO relationships used in Hemo-CL

OBO relationship	Simple OWL translation	Expanded OWL translation
has_plasma_membrane_part	has_plasma_membrane_part some ?Y	has_part some (GO:'plasma membrane' and has_part some ?Y)
lacks_plasma_membrane_part	lacks_plasma_membrane_part value ?Y	has_part exactly 0 (GO:'plasma membrane' and has_part some ?Y)
capable_of	capable_of some ?Y	bearer_of some (realized_by only ?Y)
participates_in	participates_in some ?Y	-
has_completed	has_completed some ?Y	transformation_of some (participates_in some ?Y)
has_not_completed	has_not_completed some ?Y	not transformation_of some (participates_in some ?Y)

Several of the OBO relationships used in Hemo-CL were translated into an OWL format. The left hand column contains the OBO-formatted relationships, the middle column contains relationships converted to a simple OWL format, and the right hand column contains expanded OWL-formatted relationships that employ negation and nested expressions. Details are in the methods.
