Upcoming meetings and Presentations 2012:
Semantics of Biodiversity Workshop
From Barry:
May (16 optional) 17 - 18, 2012
University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, Lawrence, Kansas
SPNHC 2012
Annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections
Yale University, New Haven Connecticut June 11-16, 2012
Any interest in making a PO presentation at this meeting? Perhaps RW and/or DWS could just go for the day of the presentation, since it is local (New Haven, CT).
The theme for the meeting is "Emerging Technology and Innovation in Natural History Collections Management" (focus on the tools, innovative methods and collaborations that will move the natural history collections community forward).
From PJ: If we can show progress in the FNA work or Morphobank yes we should
Crop Ontology Workshop
For more information see the wiki page: Crop_Ontology_Workshop_at_OSU,_2012
We are looking at the tentative dates of either: June 11-13th or Aug 6th to 8th
The focus of the workshop will be on mostly development stages and traits for the crop plants
Ruth Bastow is contacting some of the interested people to see which of these dates work best.
Botany 2012
July 7 - 11, 2012 - Columbus, Ohio
- PO workshop on Sunday, July 8th, 9:00AM - 12:00PM
The meeting web site has been fixed so this is now listed as a half-day (morning) workshop. The schedule now links to the correct abstract.
RW will prepare an announcement for the PO home page and FB page.
Workshop goal will be 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.
exhibitor's booth
We should also consider 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. (plus all the extras!)
• 2 months of Rotating Banner Ads in the online American Journal of Botany
• A Rotating Banner Ad in one edition of the online Plant Science Bulletin
• A Rotating Banner Ad on the Botany 2012 abstract submission site
• A Rotating Banner Ad on the 2012 Conference Registration site.
PJ will check with Gramene and Doreen Ware to see if they want to co-host a booth.
- Annotation wiki: JP may also give a talk on the new annotation wiki at this meeting, as part of the genomics section.
