Description

See https://github.com/biopragmatics/obo-db-ingest

It would be quite easy to add these as builds, and distribute the sqlite on s3.

Advantages:

- easy to query in OAK (though some methods and commands e.g `tree` wouldn't make sense as these wouldn't follow expected structural shapes for ontologies)
- fast to query via SQL

Note there is ongoing discussion about URIs for these, but semantic-sql doesn't care, we store things natively as CURIEs, and the prefix table can be swapped to anything.

Ideally the products would be built and distributed (obo/owl/json) upstream, to avoid running the build step, as this introduces an additional source of potential pipeline failure, we also have to determine memory/disk requirements

Research direction

Start with the linked obo-db-ingest repository and semantic-sql's existing build and distribution entry points. Clarify which PyOBO products should be supported, whether upstream OBO/OWL/JSON products can be consumed, and the memory, disk, URI, and S3 distribution requirements. Done means the selected products build reliably and their SQLite databases are distributed for OAK queries.
