[go] Ontology development - November highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

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

   http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Nov2007_ontology_report

Ontology development highlights from November:

  * The work on resolving inconsistencies in regulation terms is almost 
done. Cross-products and the 'regulates' relationship are not far off now 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Regulation_Main_Page).

  * Preparation for the content meeting on lung development is well under 
way. The meeting will be held on December 5th-6th; a file is available in 
go/scratch/ (http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Lung_Development).

  * The update article for the January 2008 NAR Database Issue has been 
published online (full text: 
http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/gkm883v1).

  * Work on 'sensu' terms has resumed, and will be finished soon (main wiki 
page: http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Sensu_Main_Page; 
outstanding items: 
http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Meeting_Notes_3).

  * There's been progress on the 'response to drug' revamp 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Response_to_drug).

In December, in addition to the lung development meeting, we will continue 
to work on cross-products, including regulation and GO-Cell xps.

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.

Have a great holiday season!
