Report from All Hands meeting:

• * Working on creating an planteome importer owl file to simplify the loading of the ontologies via the golr Makefile. Working on a catalog xml file to redirect URI in the importer OWL.
• * Troubleshooting issue with loading both the environment and trait ontologies where loading both causes the EO to disappear from AmiGO.

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
• Model is a separate repository for each ontology under the organization of the Planteome

From last meeting:

Repositories:

• Need to rename the CGIAR/IBP prefix for their files. EA will clarify with her colleague at the IBP. - Any news?

• Discussion of including the trait dictionaries in the GitHub repos:
• Managing the files as excel files with the users, and this can be converted to a simple OBO file using MAL's script (for loading on the CO site)
• Could be uploaded as the OBO or a TSV file- closer to the source and works well with Github
• Could load the OBO, TSV and SKOS files together in the repo and use the wiki and issue trackers

Discussion of format for meetings
