### The Ontology Lookup Service
The [Ontology Lookup Service](http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ontology-lookup/)
(OLS), developed at the
[European Bioinformatics Institute](http://www.ebi.ac.uk/) (EBI), is a
unified web interface to query multiple ontologies from a single
location. The
[new version](http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/beta/roadmap.html) of the OLS
uses a REST API.
The `rols` package uses functionality from the
[httr](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/httr/) package to query
the OLS directly from R.
See the [package's page](http://lgatto.github.io/rols/index.html) on
GitHub for details, documentation and vignette.
### Installation
`rols` is available from the
[Bioconductor](http://www.bioconductor.org) repository. The package
and its dependencies can be installed
```
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("rols")
```
See also the `rols`
[Bioconductor page](http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/rols.html)
for on-line access to the vignette and the reference manual.
### Help
