PRO-PO-GO meeting, May 2013

Please see this page for more information: PRO-PO-GO_Meeting

Location: Buffalo, NY

Tentative Dates: May 8-9th or May 15-16th, 2013.

Goals:

1. To educate members of the PRO, PO and GO communities concerning developments in each of the three ontologies, with a view to enhanced coordination
2. To identify potentially fruitful applications which such enhanced coordination might bring
3. To enhance the Protein Ontology treatment of plant-related proteins
4. To address coordination issues between the GO and PO, for example as concerns treatment of development stages
5. To further those aspects of CROP which relate to PRO and GO [this is assuming that PRO is included as one of the external ontologies in CROP]

Tentative participant list:

PO Consortium members: Pankaj Jaiswal and Laurel Cooper (OSU), Dennis Stevenson (NYBG), Barry Smith (Buffalo), others?

GO Consortium members: Jane Lomax (EBI), Judith Blake (JAX), Alex Diehl (Buffalo) who else?

PRO Consortium members: Cathy Wu, Alan Ruttenberg (Buffalo)

BS would like a list of who we would like to include in the meeting and whose costs can be covered by PO
