I haven't followed this field for a while, but if you can convert your .obo
to RDF the Rredland package could be used to import.  Rredland currently
requires berkeleyDB infrastructure to install... and so we only build source
image for linux.  if that is a problem let me know, the package could be
revised to eliminate this, but there has been limited concern with RDF in
this domain thus far.
