  • Time: Apr 28, 2015 8:30 AM (GMT-7:00) Pacific Time (US and Canada)
  • Connection: Join from PC, Mac, iOS or Android: https://zoom.us/j/666739728

Agenda:

Who: LC, PJ, EA, LV, CM, DWS

Updates from CO team

  • LV has been progressing on several crop trait dictionaries, working with the plant breeders:
    • cowpea TD - discussing with the users, waiting for feedback
    • pigeon pea TD- Training was done with the breeders at the BMS, requested more traits, added 12 new, submitted revisions to Preasad, then it will be uploaded. Done offline, via email and dropbox
    • rice- no news from RH

Note: Discussion of the workflow: Working with Julian Pietragalla, Technical Support Officer of the BMS ([1]). Julian is at CIMMYT, deals with the data standards for the BMS.

  • EA and LV are going to CIMMYT for all next week (May 3-8th?) to meet with the BMS folks and make revisions to the Trait Dictionaries. All the crops are on the list, wheat, maize, the legumes, etc
  • Also will be working on better guidelines to fill in the TDs

PJ Question: Are there already vocabularies in place to annotate the germplasm/GWAS datasets, etc? Is there a list of traits that we can get to match with the TDs and the ref TO?. CIMMYT researchers are part of TCAP/maizeCAP projects? How can we address the needs for the top priority traits that are needed.

  • Link to Crop Information & Genomics page
  • Genebank staff will be gone, will be meeting with Rosemanry and Kate: their role is the harmonization of the metadata
  • BMS is being tested for use at CIMMYT, new initiative, integrated with the
  • Also, CIMMYT is implementing the GRIN Global system: [2]- the USDA system for tracking and cataloging germplasm, been deployed for past 2 years
  • GRIN Global- Peter Brettling, developer Peter ?
    • You can search for the descriptors for the different plant species: [3]


=Data Harmonization Workshop, DC May 11-15th

  • Pankaj will attend: [4]
  • Organizer: Cheryl Porter (AgMIP)
  • Has been working with EA on the variables for crop modeling

Updates from OSU

  • Curator position: Interviews starting this week


Progress on transition to Github

  • Questions from CM:
  • Where to link the CO trait definitions to? - mapped to Gramene right now. Need annotations
