Workshops, Presentations, Posters etc

Year 2012

PAG 2012

PAG 2012 Ontology workshop: Saturday January 14th from 10:20am-12:30pm

Use of Ontologies for Organizing Plant and Animal Genomics Data


April 2-4, 2012, Washington DC

Abstract submitted 12-9-11, File:Abs Biocuration 2012 (LC 12-9-11).pdf

Updates from PAG 2012

January 14-18, 2012, San Diego, California

PO was represented at the following events:

We had 5 speakers and a panel discussion at the end

For more info, see the PAG 2012 Ontology workshop wiki page.

LC will summarize comments from the panel discussion, will post on wiki. MAG suggests that we encourage writers to refer to the PO when reviewing papers and at workshops, demos etc.

Year 2011

JP will present a poster entitled "Planteome Annotation Wiki: A Semantic Web Application for the Community Curation of Plant Genotypes and Phenotypes". (abstract: SWAT4LS_2011_Proceedings-Planteome_Annotation_Wiki.pdf). He will also participate in a "hackathon" software development session meant to spur innovation in semantic web applications.


RW will present a poster entitled "Using the Plant Ontology to improve the interoperability of genomic and phenomic data sets". (link to abstract: Media:PO_abstract_PGB_CSHL2011.pdf

  • Syngenta Presentation. Global webinar, September 26, 2011

PJ and JP presented our current work on the Planteome Annotation Wiki to the IT Research and Development Dept. at Syngenta. (presentation: Jaiswal Lab - Semantic Wiki Presentation - 2011.pdf)


Two posters related to the Plant Ontology were presented.

LC presented the poster: "Expanding the Plant Ontology: Linking Plant Anatomy and Development to Genomics Across Plant Taxa".

JP presented a poster: "Planteome Annotation Wiki: A Semantic Application for the Community Curation of Plant Genotypes and Phenotypes". This explains the development of a semantic web application for annotation curation. This web application makes use of PO data via a newly created web service and includes an initial data set built from PO GAF (.assoc) files for Oryza sativa.
