MINUTES: Paola

ATTENDEES:


FOLLOW-UP: ChEBI paper

Did the PIs give us any comments?

Discussion item: cell-cell junctions

Related to [1]. Basically, do cell-cell junctions have parts that belong to each of the cells they bridge, or are they part of just one of the cells?

If we say 'cell junction' has_part 'plasma membrane', is that logically the same as saying 'cell junction' has_part SOME 'plasma membrane', or 'cell junction' has_part WHOLE 'plasma membrane'? Would it better to say 'cell junction' has_part 'plasma membrane part', or is that logically equivalent to saying 'cell junction' has_part 'plasma membrane'?

FOLLOW-UP: asserting/adding tag for inferred links

Did Heiko and Chris make any progress getting Stanford to change whatever they had to change?

FOLLOW-UP: logically defining single-/multi-organism processes

We discussed last meeting defining:

cellular process = biological process has_participant exactly 1 or 2 cells multicellular organism process = biological process has_participant 2 or more cells

This won't work for cases like flocculation, which is a cellular process which involves >2 cells.

Could we say:

multicellular organism process = biological process occurs_in multicellular organism and has_participant >2 cell

but then for cp:

cellular process = biological process has_participant exactly 1 cell OR has_participant >1 cell AND occurs_in ???

I think this is the problem - how to distinguish between cellular processes that occur within a multicellular organism, and multicellular organism processes. Sorry, that's a ramble of an agenda item.
