Agenda

Summary from last meeting:

• Updates underway to the Trait Template (Leo)
• Discussion of the id space for Crop Ontologies
• Mapping to TO with Agreement Maker Light (AML) (http://agreementmaker.org/) tool to derive the mappings, but needs to make the product in the owl files. Starting with the wheat ontology. Import as OWL or OBO, add mapping to terms, structure or words.

• • The wheat file has manually created Xrefs to TO which can be used to double check the AML mappings
