GO survey 2009/10

We need to perform a survey for the next GO grant application. This page is for collecting ideas and recording progress.

Personnel

Jane, Val and Jennifer

Ideas

• The discussion of this at the 2009 Cambridge GOC meeting is in the meeting minutes
• Short - maybe 15 questions or less? [Jane]
• Stick to a small number of topics, namely: [Jane]
  1. Their perceptions of GO
  2. How they use GO
  3. What they'd like wrt tools
• Ask what their priorities would be for GO [Jen]

Recipients

• Send to two groups separately:
  1. People who have submitted a q to gohelp
  2. A group of random bench biologists (I've contacted EBI outreach for advice on how to contact a group like this)

Jen's first thoughts:

1) Have you used GO?

Yes - go to rest of questionnaire
No- questionnaire ends

2) Were you entirely satisfied with it?

Yes - end
no - continue

3) What do you use GO for?

4) How would you prioritise the work that needs done to make the GO better?

Add ontology coverage.
Fix ontology errors.
Add annotation coverage.
Fix annotation errors.
Improve Consortium tools (AmiGO or OBO-Edit).
Improve documentation and help guides. 
Provide easier feedback options.

(Put numbers 1 - 6 alongside to indicate priorities.)

5) Please note any particular areas of biology that you feel need improvement in the ontology structure.
