We have many download files and users don't understand which file they should use. I propose we specify use cases.

Example:

The download files you should use are specified by use cases below.
What data are you interested in?

Chemical Structures and associated names

The easiest option to obtain the molfiles is to use the SDF files in ChEBI. This also provides associated names, cross-references and chemical properties. It does not provide any ontological relationships.

The ChEBI Ontology

If you are interested in navigating the ChEBI ontology then the OBO file is the best option. However the molfiles are not included in the OBO file. For those you should process the SDF file.

All the data in a database

The easiest option is to import the Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL data imports into your schema.
