Ontology meeting 2011-11-30
Report
Discussion notes
Discussion notes I: REGULATION OF X BY REGULATION OF TRANSCRIPTION
- Our old favourite: is there progression on making this template in TG, so we can shift the requests out of SF?
Discussion notes II: OBSOLETE TAXON RESTRICTIONS
- Rather than having a separate file for obsolete taxon restrictions, could we include it in taxon_go_triggers.obo, in the format (suggested by Tony):
relationship: only_in_taxon NCBITaxon:5794 {id="GOTAX:0000001", source="PMID:11111111", source="PMID:22222222", source="GOC:al", obsolete="true" } ! Apicomplexa
Discussion notes III: RESPONSE TO & DETECTION
- This stems from a SF item from David O-S requesting sensory perception terms for humidity.
- The sensory perception terms are not linked to 'response terms'. E.g. sensory perception of sound ; GO:0007605 (aka hearing) is not connected to 'response to auditory stimulus ; GO:0010996'.
- The detection terms are currently is_a children of the response terms:
response to mechanical stimulus ; GO:0009612 --[isa]detection of mechanical stimulus ; GO:0050982
response to stimulus ; GO:0050896 Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism.
detection of stimulus ; GO:0051606 The series of events in which a stimulus is received by a cell or organism and converted into a molecular signal.
- I know David H feels strongly that detection comes before the response. What do other editors think? And what was the original reasoning behind the existing layout?
- NB: This will have an impact on the signaling terms, since the pathways (ligand-receptor binding down to regulation of a cellular process) are currently children of the cellular response terms...
Discussion notes IV: UPDATE ON PROTEGE WORKSHOP
- Do we want presentations/demos?
- Chris will provide us with a list of softwares etc. that we'd need to have downloaded before the workshop begins.
Discussion notes V: UPDATE ON BP_XP_CC SOURCEFORGE ITEMS
- Chris submitted these at
Discussion notes VI: OORT OUTPUT
- Request for Chris to explain the output of the Oort reasoner, now we have it working.
- What do the Justified asserted subclasses mean (exists entailed, exists not-entailed.....)?
- What do we need to take action on?
