Agenda

  • Discussion of goals and use cases
    • Individuals and individual annotations
    • GAF-formatted data, ontologies, and other bulk data
    • Others? MC: we should discuss our criteria for taking on datasets: is syntactic check enough? Do we want to run semantic ones, check the biology manually ones? We also need to discuss maintenance of datasets long term, what happens when annotations become stale and submitting groups have disappeared?
    • Training - depending on the level of participation that groups/individuals want, how should we handle training in GO best practices? Who will be responsible for training? Should we develop a standard set of training materials, including well annotated papers for new curators to initially practice/train on?
    • It might be helpful to develop a flowchart that guides potential contributors through the process and includes questions like, What stable identifiers will/can you use? Are the processes you want to annotate normal biological processes or related to disease pathology? These are all issues that have come up wrt helping potential contributors in the past.
  • A proposal for a repository/data format for bulk data. [1] (Seth)
    • "Atomic" resources or "grouping" resources
    • Required and optional fields
  • Discussion of internal GO mechanisms to handle user data
    • Using drupal internally to manage external repository stages
    • "Spreadsheet" type collection
  • Discussion of timeline to accomplish the above
