Ontology Development & GO Editorial Office Report - November 2006

I. Ontology Development

  A. SourceForge
     1. Items opened	91
     2. Items closed	97
        a. GO Eds	53
	b. MOD curators	38*
	c. GO Ed/MOD collaborations	6**
     3. Items still open
        a. assigned, GO Eds	  74
	b. assigned, MOD curators	  22
	c. unassigned	 174

  *details in Appendix 1
  **details in Appendix 2

  B. Considerable progress on is_a-complete biological process (mainly
  David, Jane, Jen, Midori, Tanya; occasional contributions from other
  curators on specific questions). Much more detail is available on
  the internal wiki:
  http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Isa-complete_BP. There is
  also a Google spreadsheet of outstanding tasks and questions.

  C. Collaboration with Jonathan Liu, MIT: David has pointed Jonathan
  to the is_a-complete file. David & Midori commented on the most
  recent set of suggestions; as noted in the last managers' call, "too
  specific" terms tend to need work, whereas "too general" terms often
  serve some ontology-organization purpose. David will suggest to
  Jonathan that he compare different versions of the is_a-complete
  file to see how the analysis results change.

  D. Erika's work on 'response to drug' revamp also documented on
  wiki: http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Response_to_drug
 
  E. Other content items resolved
     1. High-level cellular component terms (Jane)
     2. Usual small things for diverse SF items

  F. Other content items in progress 
     1. Damaged DNA binding terms (Midori, with RefGen group,
        esp. Varsha & Eurie)
     2. Cardiac muscle terms, round 2 (Jen, with Varsha)
     3. Specific cytokine/interleukin production terms (Midori, Alex,
        Evelyn)
     4. General and specific transcription (Karen C, Midori, Val)
     5. Synaptic transmission (David)
     6. Several DNA repair items (Eurie)

See monthly report in CVS for ontology statistics.
