  • 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 the new Planteome Site on Github (https://github.com/Planteome)
  • Reference Ontologies: PO, TO, PSO, EO
  • Ontology files and issue trackers, Association files are still on the SVN as they are too large for GH
  • Some Crop Ontology (IBP-maize wheat, rice, cassava)
  • Everyone needs github IDs for access to our project- JD and GG still need GH ids

'GG has a GH id, will send, JD will get one

Updates from Bioversity:Marie-Angelique

  • Crop Ontology webpage: http://www.cropontology.org/
    • Twelve of the CO vocabs have been updated to the new Trait Template Ver. 5- uploading the 12 ontologies to the CO site
    • MAL continues to work on the Mapping between crop ontologies, and ref. ontologies
    • Need to check on which of the files have been updated not sure what this is referring to
  • Roots Tubers, Banana Development meeting in Montpellier:
    • 3 days week of Aug 20th
    • 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 cross products

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

Migration to github- See above

  • Almost complete. Let me know if there are any more files to transfer with history
  • All files (minus SVN) are over on github (almost, still moving a few extras)
  • Association files: moving to iPlant eventually?
    • 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.

AmiGO 2

Fixed annotation loading issue (well, a workaround)

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

Not sure what this is referring to

  • Loading is far far faster, but issue is that it won't load any annotations
    • JE found a workaround with an old version of OWLtools, but its "not ideal"
    • GO doesn't have this issue- Can Chris or Seth help?
    • CM can't help until the beginning of Sept.
    • If JE can't figure it out by sept, Chris 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 (????)

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
