Ontology meeting 2017-07-28

Conference Line

• Zoom: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/828418143

Agenda

Discussion:

Update on the signaling work. Shall an editor join each group?

(Pascale question): Should we already make edits ? Or wait after the signaling meeting to make consistent changes ?

August Meeting Agenda

• Will be added to the logistics page

Minutes

• On call: Chris, David H., Eric, Harold, Jim, Kimberly, Pascale, Paul T., Tanya

Signaling Pathways

• For big changes, planning to wait until the Cambridge meeting to present proposals for changes to make sure everyone is on board
• Need ontology editors for each signaling pathway
  • MAPK- David
  • Wnt - Kimberly
  • GPCR - Pascale
  • Ca2+/Fertilization - ?

Proposed obsoletion of single-organism process

• Ready for obsoletion
• Child terms can be merged
• Pascale will take a look at this ticket

AGR Slim

• Discussion on last annotation call
• More feedback from WB

GO Slim

• AI: Build on AGR slim to create a GO-wide slim that also includes terms for plants, dicty, proks, etc.
  • Will need to allocate resources to work on this and contact people who can help

Ontology Development without Annotation

• Focus should be on creating terms in conjunction with annotation
• Don't quite have the resources to develop the ontology without concurrent use in annotation

Property Chains in Relations Ontology

• Need to discuss, in August, how to handle obsoleting some of the existing property chains that will have major effects on the ontology, i.e. relations will need to be instantiated
• Some other property chains need to be fixed (negative o negative should be -> positive)
• Some other property chains need to be added (part of o causally upstream of -> causally upstream of)
