Agenda

Who: LC, MAL, CM, PJ, BS

Absent: EA, JE etc

  • Connection details:

Topic: Planteome Ontology WG Meeting

Report from Bioversity team

  • Marie Angelique, Leo and Elizabeth

Report from OSU

  • Laurel, Justin E and Pankaj
  • Progress on AmiGO2 browser development: http://dev.planteome.org/amigo
    • 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. (JE)
    • The issue with loading both the Plant Environment (EO) and Plant TO where loading both causes the EO to disappear from AmiGO- this appears to be fixed
  • From Justin Elser: Let me know if any other ontologies are missing. I am going to start working on how to get a smaller slice of the ncbi one loaded up.
    • Is including the NCBI a priority? How is the slice being created? Looks like only 68 terms so far
  • Missing from current version:
    • GO-BP, MF and CC???
    • ChEBI
    • Need to remove Uberon
    • Can we just have a slice of the Cell Ontology?

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

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

Plant Trait Ontology

  • Plant Trait Ontology repo has been created, along with the SVN history - testing is underway
  • File was renamed "plant-trait-ontology.obo"
  • TO development browser (http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/amigo/TO_dev) is now set up to read from the OBO file on the GitHub, rather than the one on the SVN
    • This updates nightly and is a useful tool for the curators
    • Now also includes the PDO
  • To-Do:
  • Need to move the other associated other files from the SVN: cross product files, trait lists, owl file etc
  • Will need to change where collaborating sites are pulling the TO from: Bioportal, EBI OLS, OBO Foundry, Gramene (?), others?

Action Items:

  • Move the rest of the ontology files from the SVN folder (JE): which ones are the priority?
  • Remove the other test repo "planteome-ref-ontologies" (JE). LC transferred the only comment (from CM) to the plant-trait-ontology repo.

Other Repositories on GitHub:

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

From the last meeting:

  • 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

Updates on work on Plant Disease Ontology and future plans for Plant Stress Ontology (Laurel)
