SoyBase

== POC-SoyBase Webex Conference Call; Date: May 27th, 2010 8:30am (PDT)

In attendance:

Discussion items:

1. Overview and introduction to the SoyBase Ontology- Rex Nelson

• Rex has re-named and re-numbered the soybean ontology. The prefix was changed back to "SOY" and the growth and development and trait ontology terms' accession number was changed to come after the whole growth terms.

• We need to check that the accession numbers that the PO Whole Plant Growth Stage Ontology have for soybean synonyms are unchanged and they refer to the proper terms.

2. List of terms to be added to the Trait Ontology from Rex

-Submit to TO SourceForge term request tracker?

3. Possibility of hosting the SoyBase Ontology on the PO SVN.

Take a look at the PO SVN

We upload and store ("commit") all the ontology files in the svn repository on our server, instead of maintaining on our standalone machines. Every time we make a change it gets deposited back to the repository, so it will track the changes we just did. The link you see above of SVN can be accessed over the web anonymously in addition to the command line via ssh/svn client.

We can help by creating a SOY or Soybase directory under the http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/viewsvn/Poc/trunk/ontology/collaborators_ontology/ for which you will have the read and write access.

We will give you the write access to Soy repository after which you will be the maintainer of it.
