POC meeting, Webex Conference Call; Date: Tuesday June 26th, 2012 10am PDT/1pm EDT

In attendance:

POC members:

Absent:


Collaborators: none


Any changes or corrections (additions/deletions, etc) needed in the minutes from the POC_Conf._Call_6-19-12?

Back to POC Meetings Minutes


Upcoming Release:

At the POC_Conf._Call_4-10-12 we decide that the next release would be in late June to early July, before the BSA meetings. We have a number of important changes that have taken place,

  • 20 new PAE terms, including the new upper-level level terms for the PAE

For more information about the changes see: Summary of Changes to PO July 2012 and New terms and obsolete terms July 2012 Release

Only have obsoleted two terms:

consider flower meristem (PO:0000229) or floral structure primordium (PO:0025477) instead.

This has 27 annotations, mostly from TAIR, one Gramene and one SGN

LC has sent an email to TAIR and SGN to inform them of the upcoming changes.


  • Propose we go ahead and do this release, so we have an updated version on the live site.

We will make the release asap, and update the manuscripts to match the upcoming release. It will not be in review before the release is out.

JE will look into whether or not he can make the changes to the website and server at the same time as the release.


What other things should be included in it- open trackers that need to be dealt with:

We will finish edits this week, so the ontology can be reviewed next week and preparations made for the release. Should try to have release out before the Botany meeting (before July 4th).

Only the changes on today's agenda will go into the next release. Other items (including ovary) can wait until the next release.

Ale will need a list of new terms (RW will send to her in the next few days).




Upcoming meetings and Presentations 2012:

Botany 2012

July 7 - 11, 2012 - Columbus, Ohio

PO workshop on Sunday, July 8th, 9:00AM - 12:00PM

see: link on Botany 2012 workshops schedule to view the abstract.

Wiki page for workshop: Plant Ontology Workshop, Botany 2012

Goal of workshop: 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.

A desktop version of the image annotation software should be ready to demo at this meeting.

Announcement has been posted on the PO home page and FB page.

exhibitor's booth

We had considered 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)

We decided that there were not enough people at the conference to man a booth and we could put up a display at the NYBG booth

RW will look into purchasing a TV/monitor (~22") that could display a rotating slideshow. Could also be used for future presentations

Bio-Ontologies SIG 2012

Where: July 13 - 14, 2012, Long Beach, CA. Co-located with ISMB 2012

When: Submissions Due: April 13th, 2012 (Fri)

See: Bio-Ontologies SIG 2012

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

Link to meeting page: ASPB2012

Abstract was submitted for submission: Poster Number: P28002

Plant Informatics Workshop is planned with TAIR, Gramene and PO : Saturday, July 21, 2012, 7:30 PM - 10:30 PM

LC and PJ are attending

ICBO 2012

International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO 2012), July 22nd-25th, Graz, Austria

co-located with the 7th International Conference on Formal Ontologies in Information Systems (FOIS 2012)

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. 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
  • May 15th, 2012: Notification of poster, early career symposium, software demonstrations and workshop paper acceptance
  • June 30th 2012: Deadline for all camera-ready copies for the proceedings

RW will present the IDO-Plant paper and a poster on the PO-FNA collaboration.

BS will be organizing an OBO Foundry meeting the afternoon of the day before the conference starts

Anatomy Ontology Course at NESCent, July 30th- Aug 3rd, 2012

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).

Apply here: [1]

Application deadline is April 4th, 2012 (extended through mid-April)

LM will be attending

Crop Ontology Workshop

For more information see the wiki page: Plant Ontology Crop Annotation Workshop at OSU, 2012

Dates: Sept. 13-15th

The focus of the workshop will be on mostly development stages and traits for the crop plants

Next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012 at 10am PDT/1pm EDT
