Report from Bioversity team: Marie_Angelique

Notes from premeeting:

  • MAL needs the updated owl version of the ontologies for the mapping. Can obtain owl version from SVN for PO, EO and PDO. TO has been moved to Github so the OWL chron job is no longer running- need to talk with JE about.

Link to OWL files on SVN:

  • PDO: plant_disease
    • Need to set up automatic conversion to OWL
    • Need to clean up the SVN folder
  • Repo names for CO vocabs have been changed at Github- "IBP-rice-traits"
  • Name or number spaces discussion- not resolved yet
  • Note: Xref Links CO trait definitions which are mapped to Gramene right have been changed to the Planteome page-
    • These need to be updated in the actual OBO file in Github, rather than just on the CO website- refs exist in wheat and maize files only? Need to check.

Mappings from CO to TO: MAL

From Ontology_Working_Group_Meeting,_Tuesday_May_26th,_2015 :

  • Marie-Angelique is testing Mapping to TO using the program Agreement Maker Light (AML) (http://agreementmaker.org/) tool
  • Import as OWL or OBO, * Needs to make the product using owl files??
  • Add mapping to terms, structure or words

Results of mapping to Wheat Ontology CO:321

  • The Wheat Ontology CO:321 has 240 trait terms, with 46 xrefs to the TO (done by Rosemary Shrestha)
  • The manually created Xrefs to TO can be used to double check the AML mappings (a caution as they were created some time ago- may be out of date)
  • The AML tool found about 73 mapping, case independent
  • Results on Github
  • Results: color coding:
    • Green- Xref and AML in agreement
    • Orange- Xref and AML NOT in agreement
    • No color- new mapping that the AML tool found- about 30 new ones identified, need to be verified.
  • Mapping to PO was complicated by the presence of the synonyms, and issue of AML did not want to use the PO terms more than once.

Examples of lack of agreement:

  • CO term: CO:321:0000040 grain size
  • Xref to: seed size TO:0000391
  • AML maps it to: TO:0000397 grain size (which is correct)

Test of a new algorithm developed at LASIGE in Lisbon

  • Compound matching Poster
  • We ran first tests with TO-PO-PATO and COWheat-PO-PATO. The idea is to only look at the top results first to check if the things are ok.
    • The top results were good for TO-PO-PATO. But we did not get result for COWheat-PO-PATO. Therefore we are working on that

Next Meeting Tuesday July 28th
