Prelude: AmiGO2 browser work http://dev.planteome.org/amigo

1. Welcome to Marie Angelique Laporte- Bioversity

  • Marie Angelique has a background in Bioinformatics (MSc) and Ontology Engineering and Plant Functional Traits (PhD).

Previous experience includes:

  • Ontologies for automatically classifying remote sensing images
  • TRY database (https://www.try-db.org/TryWeb/Home.php), biggest database of plant traits, thesaurus in SKOS
  • FAO on the AgroVoc and GACS projects. GACS involves USDA, FAO and CABI
  • Worked previously with Elizabeth on the Crop Ontology project, working mostly in SKOS, modelling the ontologies in SKOS

2. Updates on the transition to Github: https://github.com/Planteome

  • Plant Trait Ontology repo has been created, along with the SVN history, - testing is underway

(Big Thanks to Justin E for his hard work and perseverance on this, with assistance from the Chris and Seth)

Action Items:

  • Move the rest of the files from the SVN folder (JE) - the owl file is derived from the OBO file using OBO2OWL
  • Remove the other test repo "planteome-ref-ontologies" (JE). LC transferred the only comment (from CM) to the plant-trait-ontology repo.
  • JE will also work on getting the TO development browser (http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/amigo/TO_dev) set up to read from the OBO file on the GitHub, rather than the one on the SVN.
  • EA will send LC her Github id so we can add her to the organization

3. Updates on hiring:

  • At OSU- have been interviewing candidates, PJ may be able to make a decision later this week or early next week.
  • No report from NYBG- DWS not on the call
  • No report from Aberystwyth- JD and GG not on the call

4. Updates from Elizabeth- visit to CIMMYT
