Agenda

Curators have asked for more information about Reactome workshop in order to make their travel plans
Who will contact Pankaj and Peter for that and report back to the group?

Some big issues facing the annotation group
Addition of new qualifiers/relations was thought to be desired and important for several annotation streams - conventional, PAINT, LEGO
However, the questions of which ones to use and how to apply the ones we do use consistently are still open
We need a good way to coordinate annotation work to make sure we actually get some useful guidelines
One suggestion - divide up curators to look at specific areas of biology to generate guidelines for that area
- There's a lot of value in what Val has done for the cell cycle, but would guidelines for cell cycle apply to development, behavior, metabolic processes?
  - For example, what is the relation between a transcription factor required for specification of a particular neuron, and the behaviors mediated by that neuron?
- PAINT view of annotations can be very informative here
- LEGO models will help here as well
How much do we need to coordinate this work with ontology development, specifically the molecular function refactoring and design patterns?
Can we come up with a plan and propose it to the consortium?
