Agenda

  • Agenda: Laurent-Philippe
  • Minutes: Kimberly
  • Present:

Projects Specification guidelines

  • Start to spec out projects. Right now there are too many high-priority things. We modified the template document on the Google drive.
  • There is no longer a need to make a GH project for a project that is not yet active.

First pass at project priorities and PIs will assign the Product Owners / Tech Leads, especially green tasks (there are 42 high tasks). Meanwhile, reviewing all high / green tasks and assigning very high categories for anything related to the Noctua 2.0 / GO-CAM main delivery.

MOD Imports

  • Potential blocking issue of wanting a new relation to replace existing relations that are currently in the ontology for terms like 'cell fate specification'.
  • This, along with other spatial relations, e.g. 'occurs adjacent to', will require some work on RO.
  • We'll need to devote some resources to working on RO to accomplish these tasks.
  • Annotation history also set to high priority as this is required for MOD imports, hence for the main delivery.

SAB report

The SAB report was emailed to go-managers.

AmiGO

In some cases, AmiGO-loaded ontologies seem sub-optimal, as it returns no-GO terms (often more than GO terms) https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/18048

  • Suggestions:
    • Non-GO terms should NOT be returned in the search results
    • Obsolete terms should be weighted down (or an option to not get obsolete terms in the search results)
  • What is the priority on this task ? Considering people write that they are using QuickGO because of this (and other usability issues)

PRO gpi file

  • Harold reports from the PRO meeting (week of October 21st) that PRO is now providing a production gpi file released every 3-4 months.
  • PRO is also providing a 'development' file with more up-to-date additions to accommodate the needs of MODs that use PRO for their curation and want to include PRO ids in their respective gpi files.
  • We need to establish an SOP for id/accession dataflow between PRO and GO annotation groups.
    • We don't want duplicate ids in gpi files from PRO, MODs, and UniProt.
    • How do we make annotations that curators make with PRO ids available?
  • Note that there is a more general issue wrt allowed entity identifiers as primary annotation objects, With/From entries, and annotation extensions.
    • We need to deal with this issue, too, since it is creating problems downstream for consuming groups and may have implications for what we put into NEO.
