Report on PAG 2016

  • strong emphasis on high throughput phenotyping, machine learning is hot right now
  • data standardization, field scale measurements
  • Utilization of ontologies for data annotation
  • everyone wants specialized ontologies for THEIR data, not something predefined

- we need to demonstrate how ontologies are useful.

Planteome Collaborators Workshop Monday Jan 11th

  • Goals of the Meeting:
    • Introduce the Planteome project and launch Planteome 1.0 beta

Comments and feedback

- people are concerned about the GAF2 format

- hopefully will be expanding to more than 16 columns - we will develop standards for conversion TO GAF2

- worry about having people download in GAF2

- need a few use-cases for questions that researchers will be trying to answer.

- figure out what format people want to download data in, allow for download in this format
