At the meeting on July 9, 2008, we identified thins to be done on processes affecting cellular components. This is a rough list of action items.

Personnel: Jane, David, Midori, Val, others as needed (e.g. Jen, Tanya for plant meristem terms)

Timeframe: late July or early August 2008??

To do:

  • Rename all "organization and biogenesis" terms: remove "and biogenesis".
  • Split CC maintenance terms out so that no maintenance term is under development. Obsolete or rename "assembly and maintenance" terms.
  • Look at all maintenance terms to see whether they should have homeostasis parent/ancestor.

Notes:

cellular component organization [and biogenesis] covers CC morphogenesis and CC maintenance

the meaning is essentially "a process that affects a cellular component"; can we come up with a better name? (rejected "cellular component process" as too vague)

Also (tangential):

  • Check for any stray "and" terms. Split, rename, etc. as appropriate.
  • Rename the few remaining "and/or" terms to use "or."


I am thinking some more about Davids example, Would people definatly think of the processing of a peptide as part of the biosynthetic process? I can see that it would be part of the 'biogenesis of the complex', but not part of its biosynthesis. I would think of biogenesis as including the processing and modification and assembly, but biosynthesis as the 'formation'

would this make sense?

  • organization/morphogenesis (if part of development)
    • biogenesis
      • biosynthtic/formation (biosynthesis would have a cellular process parent)
      • assembly
      • modification/processing
    • disassembly
      • catabolism

maintenance

I'm thinking that macromolecule biosynthestic process (which is a metabolic process) would be a cellular process, but that macromolecule biogenesis would not. I am looking at the children of 'macromolecule biosynthetic proces's, and they all appear to be cellular. Although a lot don't currently have this paretn. Check out hemoglobin biosynthestic process, which has cleeular process and biosynthesis process, but not cellular biosynthestic process.
