As barry says, now we have OBO-Foundry we have relaxed criteria for  
plain old OBO, so there is room for non-orthogonal ontologies and  
application ontologies; although of course still encourage  
cooperation and avoidance of duplication of effort.

An example of an application ontology would be the Cell Cycle  
Ontology (not yet in OBO) - CCO can be seen as a "view" over both the  
GO ontology and the relevant part of UniProt, with some value-added  
stuff

I assume you're working with the OBI people for the experimental  
metadata

(by the way, OBI has been added to OBO:
