# Set up save profile
 +
# set up a number space using ID Manager
 +
# Set auto commit text edits
 +
# Create a root class

# Populate the ontology
 +
 
 +
===Requesting terms using the SourceForge trackers===

'''3:00 coffee break and group photo'''
 
    
 
    
−
* breakout groups
+
3:30- 5:00- Breakout Groups report on progress, discussion, questions
−
 
+
 
−
* Flash presentations by participants
+
===Informatics===
−
 
+
Amigo - Ontology Browser used by plant ontology
−
* dinner
+
 
−
 
+
Amigo problems- upload to a new version
−
* Evening group work on applications- breakout groups
+
 
 +
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
 +
 
 +

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:

  1. Select "New Ontology"
  2. Set up save profile
  3. set up a number space using ID Manager
  4. Set auto commit text edits
  5. Create a root class
  6. Create a root relation- part_of
  7. 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:

3:00 coffee break and group photo

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
