'''* [[Ontology Working Group meeting: Tuesday, Feb 10th, 2015]]'''
Who: PJ, EA, LC, JE, CM, BS


== 1. Coordination between the species-specific Crop Ontologies and the reference ontologies- PO, TO, GO etc==
'''* [[Ontology Working Group Meeting Tuesday, Feb 17th, 2015]]'''
PJ: Initial goal will be to work on improving and updating the TO


EA provided an overview of the Crop Ontology curation tool (http://www.cropontology.org/) and some background information about the ontologies and platform.
'''* [[Ontology Working Group Meeting Tuesday, Feb 24th, 2015]]'''


Long term goal is to integrate the CO vocabularies with the reference ontologies.
Back to the [[Planteome_Ontology_Development_and_Coordination_Working_Group]] page
* Part of the Integrated Breeding Platform
* Common vocabularies are used to integrate data from breeders field book
* Was started as part of the Generation Challenge Program (GCP), which has run out of funding.  The GCP Pantheon webiste (http://pantheon.generationcp.org/index.php) will be shut down soon and so that information needs to be moved somewhere else. Could perhaps go the the [http://genesys.cgxchange.org/gcp-crop-ontology GCP Wiki] page
 
* 18 crops (http://www.cropontology.org/) represented in five sections:
** General Germplasm Ontology
** Phenotype and Trait Ontology
** Structural and Functional Genomic Ontology
** Location and Environmental Ontology
** Plant Anatomy & Development Ontology
 
Cassava Example:
* Based on OBO-Edit
* Excel-based template
* Visualized by the tool
 
Common Trait Classes (e.g.) : Maize Ontology (http://www.cropontology.org/ontology/CO_322/Maize)
* "Agronomic/Agronomical"
* Morphological
* Stress (Abiotic/Biotic Stresses)
* Phenological
* Quality
* Unit
 
Relations:
* is_a
* part _of
* method_of
* scale _of
* derived_from
 
Availability and Formats:
* Download from www.cropontology.org
* API- http://www.cropontology.org/api
* make 'Permalink' to individual terms pages
* Formats include csv, OBO, SKOS, RDF, Trait Template v4
* Ones in blue are OBO based
* Terms are translated into various languages, as synonyms
 
Terms have a unique identifier:
* CO_###:#######
 
===Questions and Discussion: ===
* Goal is to keep the web-based tool for user access?
* Database behind it is no-SQL based
* Integration with future versions of Term Genie
* We will need a technical call as we we move towards integration at GitHub
*
 
==2. Prioritizing the work on the species-specific Crop Ontologies- Rice, Wheat and Maize==
* At the PAG meeting- Rice, wheat and Maize were identified as the best candidates to start on
* The PO is well set up to provide entity terms for these as they are important crop/model species
* The TO has some of the needed terms, but will need additional work
 
''Fill in some details of the Rice, Wheat and Maize vocabs here:''
 
==3. Transition to GitHub Repository==
[https://github.com/Planteome Planteome Ontologies on GitHub]
* This will be very useful for editting and versioning, then the relased version can be pushed out to Crop Ontology site
 
==4. Hiring at Bioversity, OSU and NYBG==
 
==5.  Possible Ontology development workshop this spring==
Time is quite short, maybe consider a web-conferencing strategy to start, new people are being added to project at OSU, NYBG, CO
 
==6.  White paper on plant phenotyping standards==
