GO Alliance slim terms
- We need to update our GO slim terms for WB GO ribbons to be in sync with Alliance
- May need to watch out for terms that don't apply to worms
- Raymond gets slim terms into Solr from OBO release file; Sibyl collecting from different source; should make the same (pull from WB FTP site?)
Phenotype ontology patternization
- Now have 676 terms patternized (27% of 2,506 terms total)
- Have reviewed the class hierarchy, collecting list of unexpected class subsumptions
- Issues to address collected here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IWtQbEQ-elM-U5SQyU4VfIH3vdJp6taVMGViIjGyVks/edit?usp=sharing

Obsolete ontology terms in Postgres
- There are currently 172 GO annotations in the GO OA, 94 in Expr OA, and 54 in Pic OA referring to obsolete GO terms
- We would like a mechanism for detecting and alerting curators to obsolete ontology terms in the OA/Postgres
Community phenotype requests
- Sent out new round of phenotype requests on August 20, 21, and 22 (today) 2019
- 2,627 emails/papers requested
- 112 emails bounced; 4 resent to new addresses
- 205 Phenotype OA community annotations; 55 RNAi OA annotations, from 47 papers, by 42 distinct community curators (so far)
- Also, 3 worksheets submitted, for 4 papers
- 35 papers flagged as not having phenotypes
- 86 papers with responses (3% response; still early)
- Need to coordinate with the AFP request pipeline
GO slim terms
- SObA highlights Alliance slim terms, but doesn't correspond to ribbon
- Want to use same slim terms used for ribbons
- Add slim terms into ACEDB? One option
- Ribbon order of slim terms is an issue
- Decided not to store ribbon info (slim terms and term order) in ACEDB, but rather in web code
- Will have to manually synchronize with Alliance if Alliance changes its ribbon

Caltech use of Hinxton name service
- Name service API : https://names.wormbase.org/api-docs/index.html#!
- Sibyl is wondering :
- "it would be nice to know when and how curators use the name service. And does any script managed by Caltech write data into the name services?"
- "what needs to be done to adopt the new name service. For example, what concern do you or the curators have about adopting the new name service, what kind of tests will allow the curators to trust that the new name service is working correctly, what changes to the new name service is needed for Caltech to be able to use it."
