SigmaKEE hosts the SUMO (& MILO) ontologies and their WordNet mappings, and is a member of the OOR Network. Note that the following hyperlink re-directions are now in place: (A) http://sigma.oor.net --> http://sigmakee.oor.net:8080/sigma/Browse.jsp (B) http://sigma-01.oor.net --> http://sigmakee.oor.net:8080/sigma/Browse.jsp?kb=SUMO&lang=EnglishLanguage&flang=SUO-KIF&term= ... with (B) in place, one can directly call up specific terms from the SUMO ontology on the hyperlink. For example, try: http://sigma-01.oor.net/Buffalo or http://sigma-01.oor.net/Process The above changes for SigmaKEE are now reflected on the updated OOR.NET index pages. See: http://oor.net or http://oor.net/index.html Please address any question on SUMO and SigmaKEE to Adam Pease (their principal developer and steward.)

This OOR-sandbox instance is based on an updated bioportal/ncbo-appliance. With its availability, the four earlier instances of OOR on CIM3.NET (OOR-sandbox, SOCoP-OOR, OOR-dev and OOR-test-00) have now been retired and taken offline.
