See Notes on PGDSO revisions fall 2011
Overview (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM)
LC and RW will review the problems with the existing PDGSO (see Notes_on_PGDSO_revisions_fall_2011#Problems_with_current_PGDSO), followed by discussion of our goals for this revision (see Notes_on_PGDSO_revisions_fall_2011#Goals), then presentation of a proposal for going forward (see Notes_on_PGDSO_revisions_fall_2011#Specific_tasks).
=Problems with current PGDSO
1. Names:
- many are process names, rather than phase names (e.g., senescence, rather than senescence phase)
- numbers in names (e.g., BO.02 mid boot stage)
- plural names (e.g., root development stages)
2. Definitions:
- most (maybe all) have textual definitions, but these are not in the genus differentia form
- many definitions, as with names, describe a process, rather than a phase (e.g,. 6 ripening: Maturation of the fruit.)
- top level terms need better definitions
3. Ontology structure
- limited upper level hierarchy that is angiosperm-centric
- existing leaf terms mostly for angiosperms
- is_a and part_of relations have not been used consistently for subtypes
Goals and tasks for revision (10:00 AM - 12:30 AM)
We will discuss the goals for revising the PGDSO and come up with a plan of action for the revision. If we agree on the goals, we can begin to work on some of the specific tasks.
Lunch (12:30 PM - 1:30 PM)
Walk to Garden Cafe for lunch.
PO publications (1:30 PM - 2:30 PM)
Restructuring PGDSO (2:30 PM - 6:00 PM)
Dinner (6:30 PM)
At a local restaurant, to be determined.
