Planteome Curator workshop Fall 2015

Discussions from 9-15-15 Ontology WG meeting:

Goals of the meeting: Strategic planning, and ontology curation, and Protege training

- Can be just for curators without preexisting training - wants a group of ontology developers to meet, and face-to-face

• Form a strategic plan on how to build each ontology and how they fit together.
• Get curators together for some hands-on development

• Who should attend: Planteome Ontology team: developers and software team and experts from various crops: e.g. Medicago, soybean, legume

* PJ's vision: Distributed ontology development and maintenance - Ontology Developers- areas of focus- maybe a dedicated group for each crop group?

• Possible collaborators to be included:
  • legumes- soybean, Medicago, peanut, lentils (?)
  • tubers- cassava, potato
  • rice
  • maize
  • wheat

• Which of the curators from the CO ready to be involved in ontology development??

• Logistics: Planned to be in Corvallis- plan to fly into Portland (PDX) ~1.5hrs drive, or Eugene (EUG) ~ 50 mins drive
• Dates: October-November- "2-3 days(core), with a few days more for outside ontologists"

• Doodle poll will be circulated (LC)

- Barry: "Any 3 days in Nov 3-16 would work (this includes 2 half days for travel), preferred in Nov 4-15"
