Spire: ETHAN Ontology

About
      This utility extracts part of an evolutionary ontology given a scientific name. You may ask for the hierarchy of larger groups within which this name occurs (ancestors), all the names which are members of the named group (children), or names which are also children of the most immediate ancestor as the target name (siblings). You may ask for all three. This tree contains both Linnaean classification and phylogenetic information, so not all branch points in the hierarchy have names; these have an arbitrary ID such as "&aaa10." Output is in OWL which you can see by viewing the page source.
