Ontology Quality Control

We are still using the ontology QC procedures we reported in October. These include:

Progress is summarized on the Ontology_QC_Metrics page.

Completed work

Function-process links

Cellular component organization

  • We have reorganized terms representing Processes affecting cellular components, including defining "organization" and "biogenesis" in the context of CCs. Small refinements are made as term requests and other questions arise.

Has_part

Other completed work

  • Terms added based on discussions at the 2009 Society for Developmental Biology meeting
  • S. pombe GO slim created

Work in progress

The ontology development group (including "core" members and ad hoc participants) has made a great deal of progress in several areas.

Internal cross-products

Function-process links

GO slims

A review of the generic GO slim is under way, and is guiding some refinement of high-level terms .

Biological topics

Much work is going on in several areas of biology:

Other work in progress

  • Evaluating new link suggestions and mismatches from ChEBI cross-products
  • Work on relationships among multi-organism process regulation terms
  • Taxon triggers for annotation quality control
    • New workflow
    • "Sensu" information moving from synonyms to definitions
    • Meeting notes
