Agenda

Update and report on the visit to IRRI by Austin, Marie-Angelique and Leo

  • Austin: annotations- progress report and issues with webservices and dbxref urls

- Currently we have a small test set of the annotations from The Rice SNP-Seek database (http://oryzasnp.org/iric-portal/index.zul).

- Test files on dev.planteome see awn color: http://dev.planteome.org/amigo/search/bioentity?q=awn%20color

- AM will see if they can add the dashes in from their end at IRRI, otherwise we need to just link to the generic Home page we the user could run the search

- IRIC site is very slow- Amazon cloud issue?

- Accessing the API- AM can from here, MAL cannot

- Sources: GRIMS System: 124,000 germplasm accessions (http://www.irgcis.irri.org:81/grc/IRGCISHome.html)

- Genesys, accessing the database- in MS access

- IR64 mutant lines- database not being maintained.


  • MAL/Leo: Update on the revisions to the Rice Trait dictionary

- Leo has completed cleaning the TD and will post to GH soon. MAL will create the OBO file with the mapping to the TO on the CO traits

- All the traits from IRIS - so genebank traits are covered

- some traits from GRiSP, next version will have the core traits from the Breeding for Rice - BPI(?)

- the variable will be a sbclass of so that it shows up in the browser

  • Mapping issues:

- apiculus traits in the TO are linked to the lemma apiculus, but the PO only includes palea apiculus.

- shouldn't be "plaleal", should be non-adjective form

- add lemma apiculus to the PO

  • Discussion of how to express the scale, esp the categorical ones

-

Recent updates on the TO

  • revisions to equivalence axioms- occurs_in and composition
  • anther morphology traits, incl. anther number
  • biochemical branch
  • revisions to the equivalence axioms etc
  • Resolving issues between PO and TO- e.g stem/ culm, grain/kernel/caryopsis and fruit, pistil/carpel etc
    • Go ahead and make a "culm" term -PJ or not... Stay out of the granularity

- panicle traits- inflorescence - annotation to the trait- CO/TO - prefer to annotate to the CO trait, not to the variable


- can we use relationships, or annotation extension column eg: CO_320:0000184("2") - not sure how, or if this will work. Try with the cassava data set (where is this data?) - the relationships between CO traits, variables, scales, and methods are not working in the Planteome browser yet, but they should eventually. - traits for cassava- data set.Play with the annotations to get them to fit into GAF
