PRO-PO-GO: International Coordination Meeting for Ontology-Based Efforts for Plant Biology

A meeting to promote the coordination of the Gene, Protein, and Plant Ontologies and of other reference ontologies used in plant biology

Venue: Ramada Inn, Amherst, NY 14221

Date: May 15-16, 2013. The meeting will start at 9am on May 15 and conclude at 4pm on May 16.


Goals

The goals of this meeting are:

  • 1. To inform members of the Protein, Plant, Gene Ontology and related communities of developments in their respective ontologies in order to promote cross-ontology coordination. Specifically:
a. To enhance the treatment of plant-related proteins in the Protein Ontology
b. To address issues concerning reuse of GO terms to describe plant-related entities, for example in the treatment of plant life cycle and development stages
  • 2. To address general issues which arise when ontologies need to be extended to cover multiple species of organisms
  • 3. To contribute to the cROP (Common Reference Ontologies for Plants) initiative
  • 4. To contribute to the ontological understanding of phenotype and disease across organisms.
  • 5. To identify potentially fruitful applications which enhanced ontology coordination might bring.

8:00 Registration and continental breakfast

9:00 From the OBO Foundry to cROP Slides

Webex recording Webex download link Note: No audio

Outline of the cROP Framework (Pankaj Jaiswal)
Overview of cROP ontologies
Presentations will focus on:
  • Current or planned treatment of multiple organism types
  • Important applications of these ontologies
  • Experiences in the use of these ontologies in coordination (prototypically via use of terms from coordinating ontologies in cross-product definitions)
Molecules:
Protein Ontology (PRO) (Cathy Wu) Slides
CHEBI and Natural Products of Plant Origin (Janna Hastings) Slides
Cells
GO-Cellular Component (Alex Diehl)
Cell Type Ontology (CL) (Alex Diehl)
Use of PRO in defining Cell Types (Alex Diehl)
Diehl Slides
Plant Cell branch of the Plant Ontology (PO) (Laurel Cooper)
Organisms
Plant Ontology (PO) (Laurel Cooper)

10:30 Break

10:45 The Coordinating Role of the Gene Ontology (Jane Lomax) Lomax slides

Questions to be addressed include:
How does the GO view the division of labor with regard to describing Biological Processes (BPs) which are not within the scope of the GO BP ontology especially in regard to stage ontologies such as the cell life cycle ontology or the PO plant development stage ontology?
How are growth and development terms to be dealt with across organisms?
What are the lessons learned from the GO's experience in coordinating with other ontologies using GO terms in definitions?
Need for mechanisms of alerting each other to changes in ontology structure, e.g term obsoletions
  • Use of PO for relevant GO logical definitions (Tanya Berardini) Slides
What is the strategy and timeline for integrating PO into cross-product definitions of plant-relevant BPs (analogous to the way in which CHEBI, CL and PRO are currently being used)?
