Back to POC_Meeting_and_Workshop_Nov_4th_to_6th,_NYBG,_Bronx,_NY

Ramona and Lol will work on:

1. Ontology Goals: Prepare items for Friday meeting so things can be discussed efficiently

-revise upper level structure of PGDSO

Ramona and Lol will prepare suggestions for the following goals (from POC meeting on 10/13/2010) for discussion on Friday. See details on agenda for Friday, November 5th.

-Finalize definition and placement of gametophytic phase and sporophytic phase

-Rework definition of 'plant growth and developmental stage(s)' so it is appropriate for all plants

-Reorganize the entire upper level structure of the PGDSO, so we can incorporate all plants

-add new plant structure development stages such as gametophytic and sporophytic structures, categories for non-seed plants (thallus development, capsule development)?

-deal with old Source Forge item: tuber growth and development stages

-deal with open SF trackers

Ramona and Lol will prioritize these items and prepare suggested definitions for meeting on Friday.

Priority rankings reflect priority for discussion at this meeting, not overall priorty for the next release.

From PSO:

(LP) Old SF tracker items, fall 2010 Can deal with these at a phone meeting

(Mixed priority) New SF tracker items, fall 2010. HP items from this list are: embryo, primordium, vegetative shoot system, egg cell, sperm cell

-(MP) Musa terms requested by Rosemary Shrestha (July 2010) Most of these are synonyms of existing terms. Should move through them quickly.

-(MP) Adding/modifying the root terms submitted by Rich Zobel (Nov 2009).

-(MP) Legume terms submitted by Austin Mast: Taproot, Stem Hair, Prickles, Fascicle, Bristle (used in key as "Stipules spinose or bristles"; might be thought of as a quality, rather than a structure), Phyllode, Banner (as in a legume flower), Wing (as in a legume flower), Keel (as in a legume flower), Anther pore and anther slit, Locule

-(MP) Elena Kramer suggested that we add the term spur to the PSO and consider dealing with common primordia in the PGDSO.

-(MP) Paula Rudall commented that the current definition of central cell has a different meaning in gymnosperms.

-(MP) TraitNet requested several new terms for the PSO: corm, spine, podarium, pneumatophore, stele, diaspore, cone, sorus, and tendril.

-(HP) embryo: We have a proposed definition of embryo from 7/2010. We need to finalize this and close the tracker.

-(HP) reorganization of shoot system: We started working on this during the last round of revisions (with bud, and terms like reproductive shoot system), but it still needs some tweaking. Need to discuss vegetative shoot system.

-(HP) egg cell and sperm cell: we need to finalize the definitions for these terms, and make sure they work for all plants.

From PGDSO:

-(HP) tuber growth and development stages: open on SF since 6/2009

-(LP) post harvest stages: this is an old request, but no one ever commented on it.

-(MP) terms for seed development stages:this is a fairly new request for terms for cotton

-terms with out is_a parents

Ramona and Lol will prioritize these items and prepare suggested definitions for meeting on Friday.

There are still about 40 classes without parents, so we won't have time to talk about them all. Focus on terms that require new parent terms and group input

See separate pages:

List_of_terms_without_is_a_parents in numerical order

Categorized list of terms without parents

Suggested Priorities (RW):

-(HP) primordium

-(HP) Parentage of pores/stomata

-(HP) Parentage of trichomes and hairs

-(MP) Pollen tube - continue discussion from last week. Maybe categorize with hairs/trichomes

-(MP) root stele, with new parent term stele

-(MP)Parts of the root tip - could finish up discussion from last week
