A GUI for OBO Foundry's ROBOT Library to Encourage Usability and Adoption

Since its inception in 2013, OBO ROBOT has become a known ontology development tool to manage and develop new ontologies. OBO ROBOT is available as a command line executable requiring some learning curve to install and use. To provide accessibility for advanced tools to service novice ontology developers, we introduce a GUI frontend for OBO Foundry's ROBOT, a known ontology development tool. Our initial work is available on GitHub and was developed in a cross-platform framework (QT C++) to enable portability across different operating systems. Future work will include enlisting potential users to evaluate accessibility and usability.
