It depends what you want to do with OBO relations such as [R] isA, negatively_regulates, etc. In my limited investigations it seems like [R] isA essentially duplicates the information in the subclass relation, but I don't know if this is true in general. If we were to just ignore these special OBO relations it would be a pretty quick fix. If we need to store special types of relations beyond what we already have, it would be harder. For example, negatively_regulates doesn't really fit as either a parent or child concept. Currently it is parsed as a parent, but we would need some better way of handling all these special relations.
