• Annotation of phenotyping data through the IBP (https://www.integratedbreeding.net)
• Ontology manager on https://www.integratedbreeding.net/
• CO traits used to populate
• Agtrials (http://www.agtrials.org/) on CIAT another source
• Involvement of ICRISAT
• Genebank accessions- done at some centers e.g. CP
• Traits may be in common, but also there is variation between crops
• CO provides community-specific vocabularies for integration of data annotations
