Panel Discussion
Questions and discussion: There was interest arising from the Eva's presentation regarding their work on developing Journal collaborations for annotations. Since 2008 they now have working with Journals to have authors annotate their own research material as part of the submission process. This started in 2008 with Plant Physiology and now includes about 8 or 10 journals. This started as an excel spreadsheet, but they now have an online submission form. **Currently this does not include PO annotations (this was one of the questions that was asked).
Once the information is received it is reviewed by the TAIR curator teams.
Suggestions for speakers for next year:
Should have talks from people working on ontology applications, rather than ontology development, to show utility.
Procedure: LC should contact potential speakers and ask them to submit an abstract to us and to the organizers.

Phenolog
Someone from Grape Genome Initiative?
They are featuring both PO and GO on their Genome Browser Query page. We are working to add annotations from them as well to our database.
They also have a workshop: Date: Sunday, January 15, 2012, 1:30 PM-3:40 PM,
Organizer: Grant Cramer (University of Nevada, Reno)
