This course aims to teach proper ontology design principles and practices such that anatomical interoperability across evolutionarily disparate taxa is achieved. It further seeks to promote community growth and adoption of ontology-based methods and tools. The subsequent benefit is in the form of shared access to the unique data store of each community (e.g. genetic, genomic, developmental, and evolutionary data). | This course aims to teach proper ontology design principles and practices such that anatomical interoperability across evolutionarily disparate taxa is achieved.

Demo of Integrating Annotated Images with PO terms
JP will give a short demo with "mock-ups" to display one approach to integrating annotated images with PO terms on the PO web site.
This one involves pop-ups from the External References section on PO term detail pages.
Update on the Release #17, April 2012
- Review and Assessments:
- Issue of files on Bioportal all "PO"- are we going to keep posting the separate aspect files?
- Updates to the SOP page: PO_Release_SOP_Page
- What do we need to do better next time?
Now that we can use Oort, we can easily generate the asserted file earlier in the process and test load it onto Dev or beta. That way if we run into problems, it will not hold up the database loading. I suggest adding this conversion step to the dev loading script. That will make it easier to diagnose any issues early.
Goals and Timeline for the next Release #18
Timeline:
End of june to Mid- July- before BSA and ASPB meetings?
Continue major revision of PSDS
Focus on the revsions on:
PO:0007033 : whole plant development stage
> PO:0028002 : sporophyte development stage
>> PO:0007130 : sporophyte reproductive stage [46604]: (Some still have the numbers preceding them, others don't)
>>> PO:0007047 : 3 inflorescence detectable stage [29131]
>>>PO:0007016 : 4 flowering [28057]
>>>PO:0007042 : 5 fruit formation [31009]
>>>PO:0007010 : 6 ripening [37642]
>> PO:0007134 : sporophyte vegetative stage [60370]: (Some still have the numbers preceding them, others don't)
>>>PO:0007057 : 0 seed germination stage [29568]
>>>PO:0007112 : 1 main shoot growth stage [47411]
>>>PO:0007131 : seedling development stage [26673]

Report from the 5th International Biocuration Conference
April 2-4, 2012, Washington DC
Link to poster Abstract: File:Abs Biocuration 2012 (LC 12-9-11).pdf
- LC attended and took part in the BioCreative workshop
More details TBA....
Upcoming meetings and Presentations 2012:
Semantics of Biodiversity Workshop
From Barry:
May (16 optional) 17 - 18, 2012
University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, Lawrence, Kansas
SPNHC 2012
Annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections
Yale University, New Haven Connecticut June 11-16, 2012
Any interest in making a PO presentation at this meeting? Perhaps RW and/or DWS could just go for the day of the presentation, since it is local (New Haven, CT).
The theme for the meeting is "Emerging Technology and Innovation in Natural History Collections Management" (focus on the tools, innovative methods and collaborations that will move the natural history collections community forward).
From PJ: If we can show progress in the FNA work or Morphobank yes we should
Crop Ontology Workshop
For more information see the wiki page: Crop_Ontology_Workshop_at_OSU,_2012
We are looking at the tentative dates of either: June 11-13th or Aug 6th to 8th
The focus of the workshop will be on mostly development stages and traits for the crop plants
Ruth Bastow is contacting some of the interested people to see which of these dates work best.
Botany 2012
July 7 - 11, 2012 - Columbus, Ohio
- PO workshop on Sunday, July 8th, 9:00AM - 12:00PM
The meeting web site has been fixed so this is now listed as a half-day (morning) workshop. The schedule now links to the correct abstract.
RW will prepare an announcement for the PO home page and FB page.
Workshop goal will be to teach people (mostly botanists) how to access and use the PO, including how to send feedback, suggest new terms, etc.
PJ: suggest that we go there with a 'draft' version of the Plant Phenotype Ontology and show them how to use these in character matrices.
exhibitor's booth
We should also consider hosting an outreach booth.
Not a bad deal for non-profits: $500 for A 10 x 10 Booth Space at Botany 2012, and 2 complimentary registrations for the conference. (plus all the extras!)
• 2 months of Rotating Banner Ads in the online American Journal of Botany
• A Rotating Banner Ad in one edition of the online Plant Science Bulletin
• A Rotating Banner Ad on the Botany 2012 abstract submission site
• A Rotating Banner Ad on the 2012 Conference Registration site.
PJ will check with Gramene and Doreen Ware to see if they want to co-host a booth.
- Annotation wiki: JP may also give a talk on the new annotation wiki at this meeting, as part of the genomics section.
Bio-Ontologies SIG 2012
Where: July 13 - 14, 2012, Long Beach, CA. Co-located with ISMB 2012
When: Submissions Due: April 13th, 2012 (Fri)
Three types of submissions.
- Short papers, up to 4 pages. - Poster abstracts, up to 1 page. - Flash updates, up to 1 page
Successful papers will be presented at the Bio-Ontologies SIG.
Poster abstracts: time will be allocated during the 2 days for at least one poster session.
Flash updates are for short talks (5 min) giving the salient new developments on existing public ontologies. Authors of posters can also provide a flash update. Unsuccessful papers will automatically be considered for poster presentation.
ASPB Plant Biology 2012
July 20 - 24, 2012 - Plant Biology 2012, Austin, TX

RW and BS (with JE, AG, DWS and PJ) submitted a short paper describing a plant disease extension of the Infectious Disease Ontology. This paper was accepted and is being revised. Wiki page for notes on Plant Disease Ontology.
Relevant dates
- Feb. 28th, 2012: Notification of paper acceptance
- April 15th, 2012: Poster, early career symposium, software demonstrations and workshop papers submission deadline

Link to: Anatomy Ontology course
from Paula Mabee: Opening are available the Anatomy Ontology course.
Link to Course materials
This course aims to teach proper ontology design principles and practices such that anatomical interoperability across evolutionarily disparate taxa is achieved. It further seeks to promote community growth and adoption of ontology-based methods and tools. The subsequent benefit is in the form of shared access to the unique data store of each community (e.g. genetic, genomic, developmental, and evolutionary data).
