[go] Ontology development - October highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

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

   http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Oct2007_ontology_report

The big news this month is that the changes resulting from the content 
meetings on cardiovascular physiology and muscle development have gone 
live. For more details, see the relevant wiki pages:

http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Cardiovascular_physiology/development
http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Muscle_Development

Other highlights from October:

  * Lots of progress on regulation, with the aim of adding cross-products 
and using the 'regulates' relationship; 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Regulation_Main_Page).

  * There are plans afoot for a content meeting on lung development, to be 
held in December 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Lung_Development).

  * Updates to the wiki material on function-process links 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Function-Process_Links).

  * The update article for the January 2008 NAR Database Issue has been 
accepted, and should appear online soon.

In November, work on the last few 'sensu' terms will resume (main wiki 
page: http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Sensu_Main_Page; 
outstanding items: 
http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Meeting_Notes_3).

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.
