2017 Meetings

Want to focus on community outreach
- site visits, training, etc.
Need to work on pathway models & diagrams
Transcriptional regulatory network models need work
Will look at regularly occurring quarterly milestones
- Chris will look at curation goals, want ambitious but realistic
Metabolomics? Maybe leave out since we need other funding to accomplish
Would be good to generate lists of TF target genes and have available as a gene set/list for enrichment analyses and/or a WormMine list
People can look over and make sure that we’re addressing important, exciting issues
Put in blurb on “MicroReviews”
Concise descriptions: people can contribute manually written descriptions, but would be best if people/labs took ownership for maintaining them
How many papers did we get into the database in the past 5 years?

Proposing sending emails to authors AFTER SVM flagging, asking them to validate our automated flagging pipeline flags
May want to incorporate other flagging methods like string matching
We will want a mechanism such that each datatype flag requires action by the author, in order to get an official AFP flag, positive or negative, otherwise the paper does not get an AFP flag for that paper
Maybe shouldn’t include data types in AFP form that are not actively being curated
Want to strike a balance between too many and too few data types

Could consider not putting journal article (primary) papers on WB website until it has curation (by WB or community)
We would like to collect a list of all regional worm meetings to reach out to
How do we attribute annotations to community curators? Already a mechanism in place for concise descriptions and phenotype, but would need changes for other data types
Have table of top community curators; will also work on having top contributors for past 2 or 3 months (Chris will discuss with Sibyl)

When authors make a typo about, e.g. a construct or transgene, can leave remark in the object in the OA
