News and Announcements:

Ontology Development Workshop

  • Planning for this fall - possibly Nov-Dec, in Corvallis
  • Goal: not just ontology training (OWL/Protege)
  • See wiki page for more details:
  • Stay for a couple days (1 week total) for actual hands on, get people actually comfortable in the system.
  • Bring in OSU Conferences coordinators to help manage logistics

NSF PI meeting Sept 9th to 11th, Washington DC

  • Need 2 pager report
  • Poster for presenting- needs photos of all participants
  • End of Year One coming up- will need to prepare annual report soon

ICBO Meeting Aug 1-4th, 2016

  • Location- to be held in Corvallis


Other items:

  • Chris could demo update of new AmiGO curation pathway for the data viz meeting next 11am next wed?
  • GG and JD show their data structure- When?
  • Next all hands: planned for Sept 24th- LC will send out a doodle poll

B. Update from Ontologies Working Group:

From OSU: Lol update:

  • All the ontology development work and files have been moved from SVN to Github
  • Reference Ontology 4 of ours
  • Some Crop ontology (maize wheat, rice, casava)
  • Everyone needs github IDs for access to our project
     "john and george still need"

Updates from Bioversity:bMaria Angelique=

  • Crop ontologies
   - uploading the 12 ontologies
   - mapping between crop ontologies, and ref. ontologies
  • RTB dev meeting
   - 3 days
   - discussing NGS
   - RTB with BTI will split the work
  • Converting spreadsheets to ontology, but they lack complex mapping
   - Priority is mapping, using an automated tool
   - working with chris to develop a workflow
     - MAL has tried tools, chris has tools, need to find out what tool works best.
     - prospective mapping is better than reterospective mapping
  • Pankaj: ideal goal is to have a tool available for the workflow
     - goal is to map back to reference ontology
       - power comes from the xproducts

C. Update from IT group- Data Store, AmiGO2- Justin Elser

Migration to github

  • Seems to be mostly complete. Let me know if there are any more files to transfer with history.

AmiGO 2

Fixed annotation loading issue (well, a workaround)

  • Working on bisecting issue so we can stay current with Owltools and AmiGO 2 development.

- Justin Elser

 - all files (minus SVN) are over on github
 - AmiGO2.0
   - Far FAR faster
   - won't load any annotations
     - found a workaround with an old version of OWLtools
       "not ideal"
     - GO doesn't have this issue
   - Can ChrisS help?
     - can't help until the beginning of Sept.
     - if JE can't figure it out by sept, ChrisS can help
   - Post issues to Github's issues tracker on the Planteome-amigo2 repository
   - JE will have it up and down frequently, so be wary when you're 'testing' it.
   - iPlant won't get looked at until it is working on the live version
 - iPlant
   - where are we going to put the association files?
   - the association files are too big for Github
   - they are cluttered within the SVN
     - keep association files on SVN, but keep them alone, not mixed with things that have migrated to Github.
   - irods: iPlant's 'big iron' is a possibility
   - In the long run, it makes more sense to keep annotation/association files on iPlant
     - mirror the latest version from version control(SVN) over on iPlant for 'bulk download' options for end users.

D. Update from AISO/BisQue group- Justin Preece

- Main goal: getting a web module for people to segment images, and link those segments to ontology terms/metadata

   - There are desktop programs/algorithms that work, they are moving them to the web as 'modules'
     - TL;DR-Newer/better/shinier graph cuts
   - putting a module on iPlant BisQue that allows you to segment an image, and annotate it with ontologies.
     - Doing a test environment locally, will expand to testing groups that are larger
   - working with two students from CompSci 
     - 1. C++ and Matlab under the hood
     - 2. Matlab and python on the surface for UI

E. Other Comments:
