PRO-PO-GO meeting, May 15-16th 2013
Please see this page for more information: PRO-PO-GO_Meeting
Location: Buffalo, NY
Dates: May 15-16th, 2013.
Goals:
- To educate members of the PRO, PO and GO communities concerning developments in each of the three ontologies, with a view to enhanced coordination
- To identify potentially fruitful applications which such enhanced coordination might bring
- To enhance the Protein Ontology treatment of plant-related proteins
- To address coordination issues between the GO and PO, for example as concerns treatment of development stages
- 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
