Agenda Items

At the moment this is a free-form list of items suggested for discussion.

  1. Have Tanya give a presentation on implementation of 'regulates' and the work that she and David and Chris (and others) have done in this area. 'Regulates' will go live at the end of March, so there may be discussion points on this. We will also discuss 'regulation of biological quality' and how their negative and positive children relate.
  2. Discuss how we are going to handle function terms such as activators and inhibitors. When do we create them and how do they relate to processes and other functions. (David and Tanya)
  3. Discuss how we are going to handle 'response to drug' SF 1242405 terms. Are they normal biological processes? (David and Tanya)
  4. Discuss function-process links. What relationships should we use? Who will make the assertions?(Harold, Jen & Chris)
    1. See current work and discussions [|Here]
  5. (sigh) evidence codes
  6. (from ref genomes group): Would it be useful to add the 'comprehensively annotated' tag to all genes (not just the ref genome genes)? Either in the gene association file or in the database somehow
  7. At one of our meetings Chris suggested we might keep an archive of gene sets used in publications that were analyzed using GO. Should we do this? (David)
  8. Collaboration with other projects
    1. PRO: Protein Ontology (Harold)
    2. Reactome
    3. Panther
    4. NCBO
    5. MP-PATO
    6. KARO
  9. Annotation Objects: how to handle GO annotation to specific isoforms, modified proteins, etc. (Harold)
  10. Report results of experiment on finding annotation errors using GO-taxon links. (Jen)
  11. How should we handle derivative compounds in the metabolism parts of GO--should we continue to include metabolism of X derivatives as is_a descendants of X metabolism? It can be confusing. For example, SFs 1885151 and 1847808 note that 'gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolic process' is a descendant of 'fatty acid metabolic process' because GABA is a derivative of butyric acid.
