[go] Ontology development - September highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

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

   http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Sep2007_ontology_report

Some highlights from September:

  * Work to follow up on the content meeting on muscle development is in 
progress (http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Muscle_Development).

  * Work following the meeting on cardiovascular physiology will be 
committed when the muscle meeting edits are done (both are using the same 
file in the scratch directory; see 
http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Cardiovascular_physiology/development).

  * Work to rename 'sensu' terms and improve their definitions is almost 
done, and we have identified people to help with the last few 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Sensu_Main_Page).

In October, we aim to finish the muscle meeting edits and the "sensu" 
revamp. We will also continue to focus on regulation, with the aim of 
adding cross-products and using the long-awaited 'regulates' relationship; 
see http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Regulation_Main_Page.

Also, an update for the January 2008 NAR Database Issue has been 
submitted.

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.
