Pre-workshop meetings

1. Satallite meeting during GOC meeting, May 2011 LA
   • 5:30 - 6:30 Thursday 19th May
   • David, Ruth, Doug, Tanya, Becky, Paola, Stan
2. Minutes

1. Currently only 2 GO terms in this ontology:
   • Cardiac conduction
   • Atrioventricular node impulse conduction delay

1. Missing links/terms
   • regulation of cardiac muscle contraction
   • regulation of heart rate
   • strength of heart contraction
   • blood pressure
   • sensing
   • systemic signaling
   • hormone signaling (note forth coming development of this domain)

1. Developmental ontology for cardiac conduction pretty much sorted, maybe a few additional cell types to add, but this shouldn't be the scope of this workshop.
