Planteome Ontology WG Zoom Meeting

  • Date: Tuesday May. 24th, 2016
  • Time: 8:15am PDT (GMT-7)
  • Attendees: LC, AM, MAL, BS, EA, PJ
  • Regrets: CM

Agenda

1. Update from PhenoHarmonIS 2016, May 9th-13th, 2016; Montpellier, France

  • Planteome members attending: LC, MAL, AM, EA, GG, JD

Planteome Presentations:

  • Monday afternoon: oral presentation (10 mins) LC: "The Planteome Project"
  • Monday late afternoon: Poster presentation- LC, AM, MAL: Planteome Poster
  • Tuesday morning: oral presentation (10 min)- AM: "Annotating germplasm using the Plant Trait Ontology in Planteome"
  • Tuesday afternoon: oral presentation (10 min)- MAL: "Ontology Mapping Techniques for traits"
  • Tuesday afternoon: Hands-on Session (2.5 hours)- LV:
    • Progressing on the Trait Dictionaries: Groups: Tree species (cacao), Musa, barley, wheat, rice, sorghum, potato, sweet potato, yam
    • Feedback on the TD template
  • Leo is leaving the project as of May 30th- lack of funds and moving on to other things
  • Continue work on TD, or is it dying?
   - Julian taking a few crops over,
   - EA, and MAL will be working on the remainder in their free time.
   - Want to hire someone new, but no funds.
   - several grants or something

Thursday afternoon: Hands-on Session (2.5 hours)-AM, LC: "Planteome: Bring Your Own Data Annotation Mini-Workshop

  • 9 participants, 7 crop species:
  • Nordine El- Hassouni - CIRAD - rice
    • Trushar Shah- IITA, Kenya - cassava, cowpea, and banana
    • Jeffery Detras - IRRI - rice
    • Reinhard Simon - Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP), Peru - potato/sweet potato
    • Manuel Riuz - CIRAD, France / CIAT, Colombia - rice
    • Cecile Grenier - CIRAD/CIAT Colombia - rice
    • Ashley DuVal - Mars, Inc USA - cacao
    • Anthony Bolger - RWTH Aachen University - Institute for Biology 1, Germany
    • Astrid Junker - IPK Gatersleben, Germany - HTP phenotyping
  • Outcomes:
    • No matter how hard you try to streamline the process, the uniqueness of people's data will continue to require expert intervention.
      • the work is never truly "automated", everything requires a human checkpoint.
      • reference ontology space makes it very difficult to standardize workflow
      • no one is an expert on all things we attempt to capture
      • collaborating with other application ontologies or working groups is necessary
    • High throughput phenotyping requires an entirely new standard vocabulary
      • perhaps could be captured with a new set of "methods"?
      • Only a few measurements are taken
      • most of the "traits" are calculations and inferences

Discussion from meeting:

  • Data sets with multiple reps of measurements- How do we capture this?
  • single germplasm annotation with stable phenotypes
  • multiple reps and/or multiple experiments
  • GO - gaf2 has no way of capturing that
  • TASSEL scheme or database schema would handle this??
  • limit on our side
  • new evidence code to associate genotype and phenotype
    • experiment average of reps, average of locations
  • column 16 - new relationship - tells users that the score was averaged somehow
  • MAL sent a rice data set from Cecile Grenier (CIRAD/CIAT Colombia) which contains replicated data measurements

2. Planning for ICBO/BioCreative Conference

  • BS will arrive the day before, and leave early on Friday
  • Currently have 67 submissions, but only 12 people have registered
  • PJ will send a reminder to the authors of the submitted papers:
    • 1. In order to have your accepted submission included in the proceedings ​of the meeting, ​at least one author from each paper must register for ​the meeting​.​
    • 2. Where authors are involved in more than one submission, a distinct author must register for each accepted paper.
  • good to have a number of people to support the workshops
  • Plant Biodiversity Workshop
    • Title: Tools and Applications for Data Standards and Knowledge Sharing in Plant Biodiversity
    • Workshop type: Project Workshop (Project specific talks + Discussions)
    • Organizer: Laurel Cooper, Oregon State University
    • Co-organizer(s): Dennis Wm. Stevenson, Chelsea Specht, Marie-Angelique LaPorte

3. Planning for Post-ICBO Curator Workshop

  • The idea is this would be similar to the one held at OSU in November 2015
  • Proposed Dates: Three days: Monday Aug 8th to Weds Aug 10th, (or possibly right before the ICBO mtg?)
  • People can come for the ICBO meeting and then stay for the plant-specific, more hand's on session
    • incentives:
    • People have to stay through the weekend- we can pay for the stay in the dorms
    • If they come to this meeting, we can pay for their ICBO registration.
  • Who is interested in attending?- Ideally 5-6 people
    • Indian guy - working to get TO terms added, rice gene annotations, PJ will send LC
    • Target wheat and maize researchers, primarily from CIMMYT ?, also rice
    • focus on the people who are developing the TDs, annotations to germplasm, gene bank repositories
      • Julian Pietragalla- IBP, Mexico
      • Kate - maize data manager
      • Rosemary - wheat data manager
  • Should we send out a survey? YES
  • If people come for the week of ICBO, are they able to stay for an additional 5 days to a week?
  • Other options: Perhaps do in September before OSU starts?

4.Planteome Ontology Updates

  • "Soft Release" of Plant Ontology, still working out a few issues for the Plant Trait Ontology

Upcoming Meetings and Workshops

9th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2016), Annecy, France on July 6th-9th, 2016
