  • Chris will write up a formal proposal regarding the removal of GO slims from the public file, and send it to the manager's list in the first instance.

  • Judy will contact the new Sea Urchin database to see whether/how/who will do GO annotations and how to help them.
  • Jen will start collecting information for the annual report from all groups using GO: collect talks, posters, tutorials, etc
  • Pascale: [annotation documentation] add literature annotation decision tree on the web (seen at consortium meeting).


Current Topics and Concerns

  • (Pascale): Tanya and Eva (TAIR) had the following suggestion: "We thought it would be good to propose to either GO or GMOD (or both) that GO/GMOD develop a generic GO (or, more generally, OBO-compliant controlled vocabulary) submission module that could be plugged into many/any online journal submission workflows. From a GO perspective, if we (GO) developed the module, we could control exactly what information we'd be getting from the authors. If our collaboration with Plant Phys takes off and goes well, it should be easy to convince other journals to go the same way, especially if they don't have to engineer their own software. "

Publications

Agenda item from Emily Dimmer:

'Practical Proteomics' journal has asked for a paper reviewing the GO resource. This publication will focus on applied use of the GO, particularly on the annotation resources, examples will have a cardiovascular slant (as per the British Heart Foundation grant that Ruth is now working on). This has come about due to Ruth's contact with Mike Dunn (Editor) who is co-chair on the HUPO Cardiovascular Initiative. Ruth and I will be the main authors of this paper.

There will also be an editorial in proteomics.
