[go] Ontology development - December highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

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

   http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Dec2007_ontology_report

Ontology development highlights from December:

  * The first phase of work on regulation terms is essentially done. The 
'regulates' relationship will be defined early in January, and deployed 
soon thereafter 
(http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Regulation_Main_Page).

  * The content meeting on lung development was held on December 5th-6th; a 
file is available in go/scratch/ 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Lung_Development).

  * Work on 'sensu' terms is almost done, with the latest changes in the 
go/scratch/directory (main wiki page: 
http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Sensu_Main_Page; outstanding 
items: http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Meeting_Notes_3).

  * Reorganization of electron transport terms is under way.

In January, there will be follow-up work from the lung development 
meeting, more work on cross-products, including regulation and GO-Cell 
xps, and work on transport and transporters will resume.

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.

Happy new year!

Midori & David
