Overview of cross products by CJM

CP results in scratch directory.

Discussion gene_ontology_edit.obo file vs original file confused.

JDR – add obo version number to the filename. Then use original name as release version of file.

MA/Mike – change ‘edit’ in curators version to ‘pre_release’ to better describe it’s use. Orig file updated nightly by Stanford.

CJM: need to take versioning a little more seriously – impossible to replicate analyses. How do we cite what version of the GO we use?

Michelle – do we hide pre release file?

Cjm: no, culture of using the latest file.

Michelle: However, orig file updated daily anyway.

DB: not straightforward to find when people took data


SO and Chromosonal Location – CJM and KE discuss offline.

John Day-Richter - Term Lifecycle

GET SLIDES FROM JDR

Give users a temporary ID to work with when they need a new term.

However many terms rejected

Need to feedback to them outcome of term request.

How do this?

Everyone has some way of dealing with term obsoletion – therefore we can use these mechanisms to feedback to user.

When request closed, use ‘consider’ or ‘replace_by’ tags to get correct term.

Create mini ontology file they can update all their annotations with the new term id.

Discussion follows….
