Agenda and Minutes

October Consortium Meeting

• Virtual meeting
• October 6th - 8th (SAB on October 9th)
• Registration
• Draft agenda
• We would like to have annotation groups give ~5' flash talks about what their groups is doing wrt GO curation (e.g. annotation, display, tools, outreach). If you need more time, let us know.
• Please indicate if there are other topics you'd like to discuss and ideas for break-out groups

GAF 2.2 and GPAD/GPI 2.0

GAF 2.2

• github ticket
• Specifications
• Summary:
  • The qualifier field(Column 4) will be mandatory; accordingly, there are additional values for that field
  • Also, required header fields include:
    • file format
    • generated-by
    • date-generated
• There will be a pipeline check for a value in the qualifier field
  • Proposal: Non-compliant annotations (i.e. those with no value) will be assigned default relations as follows:
    • BP: acts_upstream_of_or_within
    • MF: enables
    • CC: located_in (for non-protein-containing complex terms)
    • CC: part_of (for protein-containing complex terms)

GPAD/GPI 2.0

• github ticket
• Specifications
• Questions:
  • What to do with curators that don't have an orcid?

Timing

• Wrt the timing and synchronicity of the GAF 2.2 and GPAD/GPI 2.0 changes, we will try to allow a period between the GOC release and when the new files are ingested so we can address any issues before the next release
• Groups will have to account for some possible asynchronicity in managing their local imports, but the file format should be in the header of each file so the expected format can be dealt with there
• Berkeley will have parsing scripts available to share and can otherwise assist in helping groups with the transition

GO-CAM Jamboree

• Proposed dates: Monday, November 16th - Friday, November 20th
• Goal: focused discussions on GO-CAM modeling of specific topics to train more curators on making GO-CAM models and assess the time and resources needed to create process-centric GO-CAM models
• Format will be similar to transcription workshop and May GOC meeting, i.e. 4-hour sessions of presentations, annotation, discussion, breakout rooms
• Ideally, we'd like to have a representative from each group (although it wouldn't have to be the same person every day)
• Doodle poll
• Google spreadsheet for suggesting biological processes to model
• Please fill out both by Friday, September 4th
