 'I feel that there are still serious problems with any attempt to bring all aspects of plant morphology together under a unifying ontology. Perhaps the word 'ontology' was coined for these controlled vocabularies with tongue-in-cheek, but the attempts to extend the ontology beyond their use in databases tends to remove the jest, at least in my opinion.
- I very much believe in open discussion as a way of advancing science. It was for this reason that I convinced the Botanical Society to institute the discussion sections that now are a standard part of the annual program. I would be interested in continuing the discussion of plant trait ontology at the next botanical society meetings, in a discussion  session. Perhaps you and your colleagues would be interested in organizing one of these sessions with me.'

 We will set up a conference call with Bruce in late September (he is available after September 20th).

 Ramona and Dennis met briefly with Sandra Knapp of the British Museum, who is interested in putting together an EU grant to use the Plant Ontology for species descriptions.
-Comments from Bruce Kirchoff:
+After Ramona's presentation, Bruce Kirchoff expressed some concerns about ontologies. Below is an excerpt from his email:
