Goal of this meeting: Extend the scope of this call to become more of a general ontology support meeting (e.g., help with using OORT, TermGenie, phenotype ontologies, etc.)
Some open questions:
- Do we need a new name?
- Where to announce the meetings (currently its the OBO-Edit working group mailing list)?
- Who is the targeted audience?
Bug and Feature Trackers
- OWLTools and OORT bug tracker
- OBO format reference implementation bug tracker
- TermGenie bug tracker
- OBO-Edit Bug tracker
- OBO-Edit Feature tracker
OBO-Edit
Fixed or newly added since last meeting
- Beta-Release: 2.3-beta 1.
The main improvement is the option to add more dictionaries for the spell-checking. This will allow enable users to share dictionaries (e.g., in an SVN) without the need to copy and overwrite them manually in the OBO-Edit configuration folder.
Currently working on
- Testing of the new dictionary feature (Paola)
- Integrate the latest bug-fixes of the obo2owl and owl2obo conversion into OBO-Edit (ongoing)
Recent Bug Reports
- Reporting of errors in imported ontologies is insufficient
- Vanishing ontology, after using any key (e.g. typing for search, press ALT or CTRL):
- Bug reports: report 3, report 2, report 1
- I could now reproduce the problem and found a bug fix for the problem. In general there was an issue while checking for Mnemonics (e.g. CTRL + O for load ontology). Due to the bug, any key stroke resulted in a call to 'New Ontology', which is the first menu item.
- This will be fixed in the next beta (b2).
- Work around until the new release: use Java 6
OBO Format
- OBO writer: Fixed a bug for the property value writing
- SPEC: Updated spec, TODO move or copy the recommended tag order for serilazation from OBO format guide 1.4 to specification
- OWL2OBO: new CLI option to write untranslated axioms into a file
OWLTools
- OORT: per Davids request there is a new ontology file, which contains the same as the main ontology (MIREOT + asserted inferences), but removed the equivalence axioms. Current (intermediate?) name: 'relaxed'
- ELK 0.3.0 support: Due to a bug in the current 0.3.0 release this is delayed. bug report Yevgeny already has fixed the bug and its available in the nightly builds. Currently testing.
