- Justin Preese

 - 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

B. Update from Ontologies Working Group:

- LoL update:

 - moved from SVN to Github
   - all 4 of ours
   - some Crop ontology (maize wheat, rice, casava)
   - everyone needs github IDs for access to our project
     "john and george still need"

- Maria 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.

D. Update from AISO/BisQue group- Justin Preece
