Agenda

1. Update from PhenoHarmonIS 2016, May 9th-13th, 2016; Montpellier, France

  • Planteome members attending: LC, MAL, AM, EA, GG, JD

Planteome Presentations:

  • Monday afternoon: oral presentation (10 mins) LC: "The Planteome Project"
  • Monday late afternoon: Poster presentation- LC, AM, MAL: Planteome Poster
  • Tuesday morning: oral presentation (10 min)- AM: "Annotating germplasm using the Plant Trait Ontology in Planteome"
  • Tuesday afternoon: oral presentation (10 min)- MAL: "Ontology Mapping Techniques for traits"
  • Tuesday afternoon: Hands-on Session (2.5 hours)- LV:
    • Progressing on the Trait Dictionaries: Groups: Tree species (cacao), Musa, barley, wheat, rice, sorghum, potato, sweet potato, yam
    • Feedback on the TD template
  • Thursday afternoon: Hands-on Session (2.5 hours)-AM, LC: "Planteome: Bring Your Own Data Annotation Mini-Workshop
    • 9 participants, 7 crop species:
      • Nordine El- Hassouni - CIRAD - rice
      • Trushar Shah- IITA, Kenya - cassava, cowpea, and banana
      • Jeffery Detras - IRRI - rice
      • Reinhard Simon - Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP), Peru - potato/sweet potato
      • Manuel Riuz - CIRAD, France / CIAT, Colombia - rice
      • Cecile Grenier - CIRAD/CIAT Colombia - rice
      • Ashley DuVal - Mars, Inc USA - cacao
      • Anthony Bolger - RWTH Aachen University - Institute for Biology 1, Germany
      • Astrid Junker - IPK Gatersleben, Germany - HTP phenotyping
    • Outcomes:
      • No matter how hard you try to streamline the process, the uniqueness of people's data will continue to require expert intervention.
        • the work is never truly "automated" -
        • everything requires a human checkpoint.
      • reference ontology space makes it very difficult to standardize workflow
        • no one is an expert on all things we attempt to capture
        • collaborating with other application ontologies or working groups is necessary
      • High throughput phenotyping requires an entirely new standard vocabulary
        • perhaps could be captured with a new set of "methods"?
        • Only a few measurements are taken
        • most of the "traits" are calculations and inferences

2. Planning for ICBO/BioCreative Conference


3. Planning for Post-ICBO Curator Workshop

  • The idea is this would be similar to the one held at OSU in November 2015
  • Dates??
  • Who is interested in attending ?
  • Should we send out a survey?
  • If people come for the week of ICBO, are they able to stay for an additional 5 days to a week?
  • Other options: Perhaps do in September before OSU starts?
