Meeting Goals

1. Develop ontology terms and definitions for wood structure, as part of the Plant Anatomical Entity branch of the Plant Ontology.

-In addition to working on the terms used to describe wood, we can review the needs for other anatomy terms for woody plants that may not be in PO (e.g., reproductive structures in gymnosperms).

2. Develop ontology terms and definitions the time course of development of wood, as part of the Plant Structure Development Stage branch of the Plant Ontology.

-If necessary, we can also make suggestions for developmental processes in the Gene Ontology.

3. Develop ontology terms and definitions, as well as ontology structure, for wood qualities and phenotypes, as an extension of the Plant Ontology and other ontologies, such as the Trait Ontology (TO) and Phenotypic Quality Ontology (PATO, formerly the Phenotype and Trait Ontology).

By the end of the meeting, we will have list of terms for these three areas (anatomy, development stages, qualities), plus proposed definitions, and a good idea of how the terms will fit into the PO.
