## Function

Index the EDAM ontology using b+tree indices

## Description

dbxedam indexes the EDAM ontology in OBO format, and builds EMBOSS B+tree format index files. These indexes allow access of flat files larger than 2Gb.

These indexes allow access of flat files larger than 2Gb.

Related application dbxobo can also index the EDAM input file. dbxedam provides additional index fields for EDAM-specific namespaces and relations.

## Usage

Here is a sample session with dbxedam

    % dbxedam
    Index the EDAM ontology using b+tree indices
    Basename for index files [edam]:
    Standard database name [edam]:
    Resource name [edamresource]:
    Database directory [.]:
    Wildcard database filename [EDAM*.obo]:
            id : ID
           acc : Synonym
           nam : Name
           isa : Parent
           des : Description
            ns : Namespace
         hasin : has_input
        hasout : has_output
          isid : is_identifier_of
         isfmt : is_format_of
    Index fields [*]:
    Compressed index files [Y]:
    General log output file [outfile.dbxedam]:

## Input file format

dbxedam reads and indexes the EDAM ontology file in OBO format.

## Output file format

dbxedam creates one summary file for the database and two files for each field indexed.

- dbalias.ent is the master file containing the names of the files that have been indexed. It is an ASCII file. This file also contains the database release and date information.
- dbalias.xid is the B+tree index file for the ID names. It is a binary file.
- dbalias.pxid is an ASCII file containing information regarding the structure of the ID name index.
