PRO-PO-GO Meeting
Venue: Ramada Inn, Amherst, NY 14221
Date: May 15-16, 2013. The meeting will start at 10am on May 15 and conclude at 4pm on May 16.
Goals
The goals of this meeting are to enhance coordination in ontology development and use in relation to plant genomics, proteomics and related fields. The meeting is designed:
- 1. to inform members of the Protein, Plant, Gene Ontology communities of developments in each of these ontologies, and in related ontologies such as the CL (Cell), TO (Plant Trait), ENVO (Environment), PATO (Phenotype) and IDO-Plant (Plant Infectious Disease) ontologies. Specifically:
- a. to enhance the PO treatment of plant-related proteins
- b. to address issues concerning reuse of GO terms to describe plant-related proteins, for example as concerns treatment of plant life cycle and development stages
- 2. to address general issues which arise when ontologies need to be extended to cover multiple model organisms
- 3. to contribute to the cROP (Common Reference Ontologies for Plants) initiative
- 4. To contribute to the ontological understanding of phenotype and disease in all model organisms.
- 5. to identify potentially fruitful applications which enhanced ontology coordination might bring.
