**how to browse or search for ontology terms or annotations
**how to submit feedback (including requests for new terms or revised definitions)
**how to download and work with ontology and annotation files. 
*Discussion of ontology terms and definitions
*Supplemental: Instruction will be available on how to generate association files for genomic projects interested in contributing and maintaining new PO annotations. ''Anyone who wants to contribute annotation files should contact Lol directly. See [[Annotation_Association_File_Format]].''

=Agenda=
''This will be flexible, depending on participant's needs. We do not anticipate using the full three hours.''

==9:00 - 9:30 Introductions and assessing needs and interests of participants==
*Introduction of PO curators (Dennis, Ale, and Ramona, plus those who are not present)

==9:30 - 10:00 Introduction to ontologies and to the PO==
===Intro to ontologies===

*The bio-ontologies landscape
**Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry
**National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) and its Bioportal

===Intro to the PO===
1. What is the Plant Ontology and what is it for?

2. How the Plant Ontology is structured: anatomy and development stages

3. Plant Ontology relations and definitions

4. Neighboring ontologies of the PO: Traits (TO) and Phenotypes (PATO)

5. Annotation data made available through the Plant Ontology

-What is an annotation?

-How are annotation files generated?

-How to access existing annotations.

==10:00 - 10:45 Hands-on tutorials==
===How to navigate the PO website===
*browse - tree view, graph view, icons, annotation data

[http://plantontology.org/amigo_user_guide/index.html Browser users' guide]

A brochure is also be available for participants. ([[Media:PO_users_guide_brochure.pdf]])

*search - for terms, for annotations, advanced search

*downloading and working with files - ontology file and annotation files (only if people want to be able to do this)

[http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/viewsvn/Poc/trunk/associations/ Association files as spread sheets, from SVN]

===Working with annotation files===
*[[Annotation_Association_File_Format]]
*Example: Maize expression data set from Sekhon et al.
*How to create an annotation file (''with help from [http://phenote.org/ Phenote], if there is interest'').

==10:45 - 11:00 Break and re-assessment of needs==

==11:00 - 11:30 PO and images==
*Presentation of CUPAC images: How PO terms can be used to annotate diverse anatomical data from across all plant species.
*Image markup software: SIA demonstration.

==11:30 - 11:50 Flexible time==
Will continue hands-on tutorials if needed, or have a discussion.

==11:50 - 12:00 Wrap up==

The [http://www.plantontology.org/download/svn_doc.html developers guide to SVN] provides instructions on how to check out a copy of the PO's SVN repository. For individual users, it is probably easier to just download a copy of the file you want directly from the [http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/viewsvn/Poc/ PO SVN site].

You can download the latest version of the PO in OBOF, OWL, or table format from our [http://www.plantontology.org/download/download.html download page].
