POC meeting, Webex Conference Call; Date: June 1st, 2010 10am (PDT)

In attendance: POC members:

Collaborators:

Absent:

Acceptance of the minutes from the last meeting? All in favor?


Agenda:

x. Linking images to PO

  • We can put in hyperlinks to individual images posted on plantsystematics.org
  • More difficult to insert hyperlinks to collections of images, such as search results for keyword "pedicel," but it is possible
  • If each image has a unique ID, Amigo can automatically generate hyperlinks to the database, so we would only have to input the ID. For example, we would enter PS:00123 under exteral dbxrefs, where PS would stand for PlantSystematics.org, and 00123 would be the unique ID number for an image, and in the Amigo browser, there would be a link to the image in Plantsystematic.org.
  • Can we request that arrows be added to some of the existing images to highlight the feature we want to illustrate?


* POC meeting/Annotation workshop to be held in Corvallis on June 29th/30th.

Alejandra cannot travel that day -- can attend via conference call.

Ramona will be in Portland June 26-29, Ramona has sent a requested to schedule her talk on the 27th or 28th. Barry will be in France this week and can't attend. DWS may be in England after all.

Pankaj would like to also include Aaron Liston (OSU), Richard Halsey (OSU) and Quentin Cronk (UBC; http://cronklab.wikidot.com/quentin-cronk).

Laurel will be working on plans for the meeting in the next few weeks, will contact Chris and see if he can come up.


* Bio-Ontologies 2010: Semantic Applications in Life Sciences. July 9th and 10th, 2010, Boston, Mass. Satellite Interest Group (SIG) meeting preceding the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). Laurel, Ramona are registered.

Our one page write up has been selected for a 'flash update talk' along with the poster. Final revisions were submitted Friday May 14th.


* American Society of Plant Biology (ASPB) July 31-Aug 4th 2010, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Laurel, Pankaj going, PO Poster presentation and Annotation Workshop with Gramene.

Laurel is looking into the possibility of hosting a booth with other database groups. SGN and maizeGDB are interested and she will check with TAIR and Gramene. The estimated costs are $1600 for the plain booth (no carpet, electricity or tables). This could be shared or PJ said POC could host it.

We should prepare a brochure to distribute, similar to the one Gramene has.

Annotation workshop with Gramene is scheduled for Saturday July 31, 8am-12pm. more details TBA
