The total number of FTE working on GOC tasks is 0.6.

Ontology Development

Number of terms in SO: 1620 83 % of terms are defined, 94% have at least 1 synonym, with 1520 synonyms total.

118 terms originated from the Biosapiens protein feature collaboration.

195 terms are internal cross products.

9 term request tracker items submitted since the beginning of the year.

The ontology is is_a complete.

The SO has continued to grow and develop with the considerable input from external experts.

Significant changes:

  • SO has added terminology to cope with the new sequencing technology.
  • SO has developed subtypes of amino acid.
  • There has been more work on the synonyms in the ontology, with the addition of over 300, new synonyms, and 3 new synonym classes. The classes, such as biosapiens synonym aid NLP by refining the context of the phrase.
  • SO is also developing new relations to better define the relation between sequence features and biology. A ICBO conference paper detailing this work has been accepted.

Collaborations

  • Royal Society of Chemistry. Colin Batchelor PhD. continues to work with the SO and has given several presentations on this work.
  • RNA Ontology. The RNA Ontology consortium has strengthened its link to SO by funding a workshop and presentations by including SO in their consortium meetings.

Presentations (talks/tutorials)

SO was represented by KE and CJM at the January RNAO content meeting in Cambridge. The division of labor between SO and RNAO was worked out.
