SObA for all ontologies
- http://wobr2.caltech.edu/~raymond/cgi-bin/soba_biggo.cgi
- SObA graph search for all ontologies
- Juancarlos and Raymond looking for feedback; let them know
- Would be good to make it clear to users what the edges/arrows mean; what relations are included for inference? Can we include blurb in the legend?
- Raymond: thinking of putting blurb on a separate documentation page
- Can we track who is using this tool (and others)? SObA is hosted by WormBase so we'd have to ask Todd (Google analytics); SimpleMine is Caltech hosted so we'd need to look at Tazendra logs to see who (and how many people) are using the tool (cannot rule out bots etc.)
IWM swag - screen cloth
- Need to finalize design
- Put Dick & Jane cartoon in one corner, tools in another corner, WB logo, Alliance logo
- Daniel can take care of ordering and printing, but needs someone to choose the design
Phenotype ontology patternization
- Chris working on patternizing phenotype terms to standardize logical definitions for classes of terms
- This is part of the ongoing effort to align phenotype ontologies across the organisms
- Paul S: It's important for community submitted phenotypes (and the use of the form) to make sure the ontology makes sense and is readily browsable
- Does "dumpy" mean the same thing to everyone? Is there a way to assess discrepancies in term definitions among members of the community?
- Does someone annotate to Egl or vulvaless?
- How do we help community curators decide the correct term?
