Minutes: Pascale

Action items from previous calls

David, Tanya, Jane: Compose wiki documentation for ontology editors, with step-by-step instructions on making cross-products - in progress (will start this week)

- David says they need the new OBO-edit to do it.
- Chris says that there wont be new GUI changes that would affect the screen shots.

Managers: Comment on draft proposal that Suzi will circulate (content meetings, RefGen annotations, etc.) - not sent

GOC moving over to using extended GO. Main issue seems to be with has_part - visualization, queries etc. How should we handle this? (the email was actually only asking about inter-ontology links, I know, but we should address this anyway).
- Chris says that not everyone needs to move to the extended GO - only people who understand the new file.

[ACTION ITEM]: Jane will send another email to clarify this.

- Eurie sent questions about how annotations will get displayed, etc. Jane suggests we have a FAQ

Based on the recent e-mail discussion about annotators knowing about ontology changes, we should bring up the idea of term changes and term provenance again. We really should come up with a way to record information about the creation of a term and the changes that have been made to it over time and to store that information in one place.
First internal cross-products to be released into extended GO on Monday, Jan. 18th. Announcement to GO Friends: http://fafner.stanford.edu/pipermail/gofriends/2010-January/001691.html
Paper on "revisability of GO" - collaboration with Sabina Leonelli. There's email in the ontology-editors archive, e.g.: http://fafner.stanford.edu/pipermail/ontology-editors/2009-November/000980.html
