- Present:
- Regrets:
GOC consortium
- April 27th-29th, Padua, Italy
- Any suggestions for working group sessions?
New Protege version
- New Instruction page Protege5_6_setup_for_GO_Eds in progress
- Jim testing ontology build: [1]
- Noting issue with ID ranges : Jim renamed our ID range file because this feature is broken. ID ranges will keep on working the same way they were before
- Today: Will get everyone started
- Review unmerged pull requests - will need to have conflicts resolved or redone after new Protege save
OntoBot change agent demo
- Chris to demo [5-10 mins]
Script to download annotations
- Moved the script in the go-annotation repo - status
- Instructions >>> https://wiki.geneontology.org/Obsoleting_an_Existing_Ontology_Term#2._Create_an_Annotation_Review_Request_ticket_and_add_the_link_in_the_GitHub_ticket.
Editors discussion items
Obsolete versus merge
Are there situations where we can merge? see
- x involved in y: https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/24990
- more specific substrates: https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/24738
Pharynx terms in GO
- Pharynx terms used for C. elegans annotations get flagged if the GO term uses the UBERON pharynx (or child) term in the logical definition
- We might be stalled here by UBERON work: https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/issues/2728
Phagocytosis versus endocytsosis
Asserted classes versus logical definitions
Example: mRNA phosphatase activity is_a pyrophosphatase, not a phosphatase
Logical definitions should do most of the work for us
Procedure to mark terms to be obsoleted
- This would give curators and editors of ontologies using GO a way to know which terms are scheduled for obsoletion
- There is a property that we can use
Test new process to when obsoleting terms with taxon constraints
- Use GH actions ? Pascale to test

CARO vs UBERON
- https://github.com/oborel/obo-relations/issues/695
- Implications for ontology development and ShEx
GO, RHEA, EC aligment
- Created a project in the go-ontology repo
- Will update guidelines
- Question: Do we need to keep comments about obsolete/transferred ECs, such as GO:0047091 , has comment "Note that EC:1.13.12.10 was merged into this term."
