Steps:

Download and install ROBOT from http://robot.obolibrary.org/.

Syntax:

robot extract --method MIREOT --input [ontology_file_path] --output [output_file_path] --branch-from-term [branch_root_URI]

Example:

Extract the "Gnathostomata" branch (http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/NCBITAXON/7776) from BioPortal's NCBITAXON ontology and save it as a file named "module.owl".
```
robot extract --method MIREOT --input NCBITAXON.ttl --output module.owl --branch-from-term 
http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/NCBITAXON/7776
```
