Collaborators:


Acceptance of the minutes from the POC_Conf._Call_6-28-11?


Meeting with Morphobank this afternoon

Time: 2:30pmPT/ 5:30pmET

Not sure where DWS is, or I would list the time (10:30pm England?)

More details TBA...


See meeting page: POC-Morphobank_Webex_meeting_07-05-2011

Publications

  • Plant Physiology: RW and LC are working on a manuscript to submit to Plant Physiology. This will be a more detailed description of the changes made to the PO in the past year, focusing on restructuring of PSO . Will focus on how PO is now applicable to a wider range of plant species.


  • Short topics paper for American Journal of Botany

The editor of AJBOT asked Dennis to put together a short paper for them- can focus on PO. This would be consistent with the

Compliance with OBO Foundry guidelines

- All but 3 terms now have is_a parents. The last three will be dealt with when we restructure the PGDSO

- Restructuring of PGDSO should make PO compliant with BFO (see item below).

- need to double check that all terms have text definitions

User requests, Plant Anotomy Ontology:

  • TraitNet requests:

corm,

podarium

pneumatophore

diaspore

cone

sorus

tendril

Several terms have already been dealt with (Taproot, Stem Hair, Prickles, Anther pore and anther slit).

Remaining: fascicle

bristle (used in key as "Stipules spinose or bristles"; might be thought of as a quality, rather than a structure)

phyllode

banner, wing and keel

Tech issues

Getting Spanish Synonyms into the Plant Ontology File

-JE has gotten the script to work to integrate the list of Spanish synonyms into the plant_ontology.obo file


Some of these are duplicates, because they represent a live and an obsolete term. These are not a problem.

RW will review these synonyms with MAG to determine if any of them should be changed. See updated list at duplicated Spanish synonyms May2011.


There are a couple of other issues I still need to work out, and haven't tested the Japanese translations, but it should be the same as the Spanish, so I am not too worried about it. (JE)

The Japanese synonyms will stay in the main PO file, then we can strip them out when we go to load it onto AmiGO (rather than maintaining a separate file for Japanese users, as we discussed earlier). JE will try putting them in the file, and see if there are any problems.


  • Status update:


Problem with how annotations move through relations

-LC contacted TB at TAIR to let her know we are working on it. They said thought that we had a good plan in mind and appreciated the updates.

TB thought that it would helpful tothem if we just provided the ontology file (without the extra relations) on our SVN for use on their system.

  • Status update:

Upcoming meetings 2011:

  • Botany 2011 Meeting [Botany 2011] St. Louis, MO at the Chase Park Plaza, July 9-13.
