[go] Ontology development - July highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

The most recent monthly report on ontology content, for July 2007, is now 
available at:

   http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/July2007_ontology_report

Some highlights from July:

  * The content meeting on muscle development took place on July 25-26 , in 
collaboration with Giorgio Valle, Erika Feltrin, and several muscle 
experts at the University of Padua 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Muscle_Development). Follow-up 
work has begun.

  * Work on process terms for rRNA processing is complete and has gone live 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/RNA_processing).

  * As noted last month, reorganization of the transporter terms in the 
molecular function ontology has been completed and gone live 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php?title=Transporters).

  * Work continues to follow up on the meeting on cardiovascular physiology 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Cardiovascular_physiology/development).

  * Work on GO-Cell cross-products has resumed 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/XP:Meetings#2007.2F07.2F26_:_GO-CL_XPs.2C_next_steps).

In August, we'll carry on with work arising from the muscle and 
cardiovascular meetings, and work on cross-products with the Cell Ontology 
and ChEBI.

As usual, details of small- and medium-scale changes are available in the 
SourceForge Curator Requests tracker. Please contact us if you want to help out 
with ontology work in a particular area, or if you have any comments or 
questions about what's going on.
