Thank you for our interesting discussion today regarding the possibilities for collaboration to develop plant-related ontologies.
As discussed, we would be interested in establishing a controlled vocabulary for plant diseases. To facilitate this, I have set up a shared folder on ownCloud (our version of Dropbox), where we can share documents:

https://rrescloud.rothamsted.ac.uk/public.php?service=files&t=be3a62e8d31c04d69f6cb89d3cd7cf83
 
I have uploaded some documents here, including a copy of the spreadsheet that we use for curation, showing the various fields that we are currently capturing. I also uploaded a text file listing the disease names that are currently used in the PHI-base database. As you will see in the list, some of the same disease terms are named differently, and some are more specific than others - for example they may specify the disease host.
 
Regards,
Alistair.

By email: from Alistair Irvine Thank you for our interesting discussion today regarding the possibilities for collaboration to develop plant-related ontologies. As discussed, we would be interested in establishing a controlled vocabulary for plant diseases. To facilitate this, I have set up a shared folder on ownCloud (our version of Dropbox), where we can share documents:

I have uploaded some documents here, including a copy of the spreadsheet that we use for curation, showing the various fields that we are currently capturing. I also uploaded a text file listing the disease names that are currently used in the PHI-base database. As you will see in the list, some of the same disease terms are named differently, and some are more specific than others - for example they may specify the disease host.
