Ontology Annotator

Wish List and Bug Reports, Jan-Feb 2010

1. How to lock-down database during information transfer to and from postgres still remains. For now, lock-down has been disabled.

1. Simple pop-up to remind curator to 'Add newline' before curating, could spring up when two or more fields are filled in (submitted by Ranjana--I still find it difficult to remember to start a new-line and realize when I finish an entire line of curation, that it has gone nowhere). Yes, I do the same thing all the time (Kimberly). Maybe if there are no existing annotations, a new line could appear automatically. When there are existing annotations, I usually check to see if there is one that I can duplicate to get started with annotations.

1. Include dependencies wherever possible. For example, if making an IMP annotation for a given gene, have a gene-specific drop down menu of alleles or RNAi experiments for the WITH column. Similarly, when entering a GO term, have the ontology (P, F, or C) get entered automatically.
