PRO-PO-GO: Challenges of Ontology Coordination Across Organisms
A meeting designed to promote the coordination of the Gene, Protein, and Plant Ontologies and of other reference ontologies used in plant biology
Venue: Ramada Inn, Amherst, NY 14221
Date: May 15-16, 2013. The meeting will start at 10am on May 15 and conclude at 4pm on May 16.
Goals
The goals of this meeting are:
- 1. To inform members of the Protein, Plant, Gene Ontology and related communities of developments in their respective ontologies in order to promote cross-ontology coordination. Specifically:
- a. To enhance the PO treatment of plant-related proteins
- b. To address issues concerning reuse of GO terms to describe plant-related proteins, for example as concerns treatment of plant life cycle and development stages
- 2. To address general issues which arise when ontologies need to be extended to cover multiple species of organisms
- 3. To contribute to the cROP (Common Reference Ontologies for Plants) initiative
- 4. To contribute to the ontological understanding of phenotype and disease across organisms.
- 5. To identify potentially fruitful applications which enhanced ontology coordination might bring.
Draft Schedule
Wednesday, May 15, 2013
8:15 Registration and continental breakfast
9:00 From the OBO Foundry to cROP (Common Reference Ontologies for Plants)
- Outline of the cROP Framework (Pankaj Jaiswal)
- Overview of general ontologies used within the cROP Framework
- Molecules:
- Protein Ontology (PR) (Cathy Wu)
- CHEBI (Janna Hastings)
- Cells
- GO-Cellular Component (Alex Diehl)
- Cell Type Ontology (CL) (Alex Diehl)
- Plant cell branch of the Plant Ontology (PO)
- Presentations should focus on:
- Current or planned treatment of multiple organism types
- Important applications of these ontologies
- Experiences in the use of these ontologies in coordination
10:30 Break
1O:45 The Coordinating Role of the Gene Ontology (Jane Lomax)
- Questions to be addressed include:
- How does the GO view the division of labor with regard to describing Biological Processes (BPs) which are not within the scope of the GO BP ontology especially in regard to stage ontologies such as the cell life cycle ontology or the PO plant development stage ontology?
- How are growth and development terms to be dealt with across organisms?
- What are the lessons learned from the GO's experience in coordinating with other ontologies using GO terms in definitions?
12:00 Lunch
13:00 Traits and Phenotypes
- Phenotypic Quality Ontology (PATO)
- Includes treatment of population phenotypes (Ramona Walls)
- Plant Trait Ontology (TO) (Pankaj)
14:30 Break
15:00 Phenotype and Disease Across Organisms
- Defining Disease (Judith Blake)
- Introduction to the Plant Disease Ontology and to the Plant Infectious Disease Ontology (Ramona Walls)
- Introduction to TO (Pankak Jaswal)
- Relations between PATO and TO (Open discussion)
17:00 Close
18:00 Working Dinner
Thursday, May 16th, 2013
8:15 Continental breakfast
9:00 The Coordinating Role of the Protein Ontology
- PRO and Model Organism Research: Maintaining Ontologies Across Multiple Species
- PRO and UniProt
10:30 Break
11:00 cROP Ontologies as Annotation Resources for New Plant Genomes
12:30 Lunch
13:30 Documenting Success Stories in Application of Annotated Genome Data
- This is a discussion of ontology annotations; we will alert attendees to bring success stories regarding use of annotations in areas such as
- Diversity research (Inter-Species)
- Discovering similarities and dissimilarities within organisms (Intra-Species)
- Identification of species for forensic purposes
- What are the structures involved in given biological processes (for example pollination)?
- What are the biological processes involved in phenomena such as disease)?
16:00 Close
