Priorities for the Next Round of Revisions
Target date for the next release
Next release should come out in mid-September????
Defining Goals and Priorities for the next round of revisions:
Tech Issues: -Upgrade to new version AmiGO browser
Report from the Phenotype RCN Meeting: June 1-3rd, Boulder CO
PJ, LC and RW will attend
From preliminary agenda:
Overall goals for this plant working group meeting:
Discuss how PO (Plant Ontology) can serve as the reference ontology for all plants and come up with a list of specific changes that will be needed. Explore how links can be made to taxanomic databases like RegNum to define the taxonomic scope of terms. Clarify the role of TO (trait ontology) - should it be used as a set of pre-composed EQ terms for all plant taxa and all areas of plant biology including systematics?

Items arising from the reviews:
Upcoming meetings 2011:
2011 Semantic Web Workshop June 6th and 7th, Santa Fe, NM.
Hosted by Damian Gessler and the iPlant Collaborative, this two-day workshop will focus on biological applications for semantic web services.
-JE and JP will be attending
-JE has already worked with Damian to implement a SSWAP web service for PO terms, so further collaboration with him and iPlant will benefit the POC going forward.
For more Workshop details: Semantic web.
Botany 2011 Meeting [Botany 2011] St. Louis, MO at the Chase Park Plaza, July 9-13.
Societies participating: Society for Economic Botany, the American Fern Society (AFS), the American Society of Plant Taxonomists (ASPT), and the Botanical Society of America (BSA).
