GO 18th Consortium Meeting

Brainstorming on Topics for upcoming 18th meeting

1. Delineating, and isolating, the different categories of "slims" and their usage. See Taxon_Main_Page for more discussion.
2. The scope of 'binding' terms in the function ontology:
   1. How granular should terms be?
   2. Should there be terms for substrate origin (e.g. "viral protein binding")? See SF 1674020.

GOC and Staff issues

• The PIs should consider options for the future of the GO Editorial Office. Affiliation with EBI has numerous advantages (for both GO and EBI), but but all four GOE staff will reach the 9-year limit by the end of the current NIH grant period.
