## Function

Find EDAM ontology terms by has_output relation

## Description

edamhasoutput searches the has_output relations of EDAM terms and returns matching terms. The input is read from the installed EDAM database. The ontology term output can be written to screen, to file, or passed to another program. A wide range of standard ontology term formats may be specified for input and output.

Optionally the search can be restricted to specified EDAM namespaces.

## Usage

Here is a sample session with edamhasoutput

    % edamhasoutput sequence
    Find EDAM ontology terms by has_output relation
    Obo output file [edamhasoutput.obo]:

## Command line arguments

    Find EDAM ontology terms by has_output relation
    Version: EMBOSS:6.6.0.0

       Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
      [-identifier]        string     Identifier(s) to search for in ontology (Any
                                      string)
      [-outfile]           outobo     [*.edamhasoutput] Output ontology term file
                                      name

       Additional (Optional) qualifiers:
       -namespace          menu       [*] By default all terms are returned.
                                      Searches can be limited to one or a few
                                      namespaces. (Values: data (Data entity);
                                      entity (Biological entity); format (Data
                                      format); identifier (Identifier); operation
                                      (Bioinformatics operation); resource (Data

                                      study))

       Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
       -sensitive          boolean    [N] By default, the query keywords are
                                      matched against the EDAM term names (and
                                      synonyms) only. This option also matches the
                                      keywords against the EDAM term definitions
                                      and will therefore (typically) report more
                                      matches.
       -subclasses         boolean    [N] Extend the query matches to include all
                                      terms which are specialisations (EDAM
                                      sub-classes) of the matched type.
       -obsolete           boolean    [N] The default behaviour is to not use or
                                      return obsolete terms. This option if set
                                      will include all terms.

       -stdout             boolean    Write first file to standard output

                                      first file to standard output

## Input file format

edamhasoutput queries the EDAM ontology.

## Output file format

The output is a standard EMBOSS ontology term file.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier `-oformat xxx`, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: obo, brief, list, html, xml, json, excel.

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/OntologyFormats.html for further information on ontology formats.
