Ontology editing: Using OBO Edit- tutorial and practice
- You can download and install OBO-Edit from here: OBO-Edit
Note: the newest version of Mac OS Mountain Lion appears to have a default setting blocking installations from sites other than Apple Apps store. This can be turned off.
Steps to setting up the OBO-Edit after doing download and install:
- Select "New Ontology"
- Set up save profile
- set up a number space using ID Manager
- Set auto commit text edits
- Create a root class
- Create a root relation- part_of
- Populate the ontology
Requesting terms using the SourceForge trackers
Please see the link: How to use the Source Forge tracker
Before using the PO Source Forge tracker you should:
- Register (create a login)
- Log in to your account
- Search the tracker for existing items on the same topic

3:30- 5:00- Breakout Groups report on progress, discussion, questions
Informatics
Amigo - Ontology Browser used by plant ontology
Amigo problems- upload to a new version
Amigo not many other solution
Amigo can load multiple ontologies at the same time and deal with parent child relationships from separate ontologies
Questions does Omego support OWL - yes new version should do
OBO vs OWL
OWL still hard for humans
OBO easier to edit
Likely that everything will move to OWL
Annotations
Some we get bulk uploads
Need incremental ways to add these in
using annotation wiki for smaller numbers would be useful
Quality
need to write a real good request so it could be understood eg acronyms need to defined or not used
cooking and brewing quality - relationship to OBI ontologies processing. probably needs a re think
Some were assays
Yield
Needs a lot of work.
Defined a new yield term
Moved through levels
Fruit yield
Grain needs to be a separate area not just a synonymn - need to know how to use tracker
Do we need above or below ground biomass
Need botanical/ontological first in many cases would be great if this was present now
pper level terms are really hard to define
Stress
Need to start at the top first!
Abiotic (temp water, light etc) and Biotic stress
Stress is a response
Decide upon 'Response to ………' this removes the idea of a negative response that is associated with stress
Biotic due to a specific agent with varied responses
Outcome of biotic stress e.g. rust or brown spot are shared by many different pathogens
Specturm of response needs to be taken into account e.g. resistant to susceptible
Need community standards on how to collect and store information re specific biotic stress to help people collect data. Should these be associated with the ontology?
Water
Response to sub optimal water conditions
Phenological, morphological conditions
Should it be 'response to' or should it be 'adaptation' instead as some plants are 'pre determined' to deal with this from day one this is not a response it is genetic.
Developmental conditions also need to be taken into account.
GO looks at abiotic/biotic stimulus. GO should be at molecular
Growth and Development
Sprout should be before after tuberisation.
Tuber is after shoot in the ontology
Days to tuberisation
Tuber growth rate - don't usually measure this is it needed
All in the tracker but need to be added into PO and TO
Incompatibility- needs to be defined
partial incompatibility needs to be added in
morphological incompatibility- in some wild species of tomato
No term for fruit development?
Soybean - terms for nodulation
nodule developmental stages should be in PO
Need to check how nodule formation and step there under are described in GO
Need to define between a process leading to a condition at the end point which is the trait.
The end point needs to be a measurable trait to go into to TO.
Discussion over not putting a unit in the description. agreed that the ontologies need to be changed to remove units such as days
Flowering time or time to flowering - needs to be divided into days to flowering from sowing, days to flowering from emergence, days to heading each should be a separate child not a synonym.
There should be a set of description known as field term e.g. 50% flowering
Anatomy and Morphology
trait descriptions were not specific enough in many case need more information in most cases and a domain expert!
How are time series dealt with in PO/TO etc
Melissa - What are the use cases - build to our needs
Concrete queries for the new ontologies
