<p>When ever I hear noncommutative geometers talking about quantum groups, it is usually $q-SU(2)$ that they are discussing. As a result there are many good and explicit generator and relation presentations of this Hopf algebra. For an easy example take this other M.O. <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/10581/kontsevich-and-geometric-quantization-and-the-podles-sphere" rel="nofollow">question</a>. I am curious to see what the simple examples of the other quantum groups series are. More specifically, could anyone give me a generator and relation description of the Hopf algebras $$ q-SO(2), ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ q-Sp(2)? $$ I know that somehow these are derivable from the some quantized enveloping algebra dual quantum groups, but that's a little too difficult for a ''classical'' geometer like me! </p>

<p>If I am not mistaken, $SO(2)\approx U(1)$ has no nontrivial quantum deformation, but $SO(3)$ does; this is explicitly constructed in:</p> <p><A HREF="http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-th/9402069" rel="nofollow">Symmetries of quantum spaces.
