# Script  : obo_intersection.pl
# Purpose : Finds the intersection ontology from my_first_ontology.obo and my_second_ontology.obo.
#           All the common terms by ID are added to the resulting ontology. This method provides 
#           a way of comparing two ontologies. The resulting ontology gives hints about the missing 
#           and identical terms (comparison done by term ID). A closer analysis should be done to 
#           identify the differences.
# Usage   : obo_intersection.pl my_first_ontology.obo my_second_ontology.obo > intersection.obo

=head1 NAME

obo_intersection.pl - Finds the intersection of two OBO-formatted ontologies.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Finds the intersection ontology from my_first_ontology.obo and my_second_ontology.obo.
All the common terms by ID are added to the resulting ontology. This method provides 
a way of comparing two ontologies. The resulting ontology gives hints about the missing 
and identical terms (comparison done by term ID). A closer analysis should be done to 
identify the differences.
