[Go] Ontology development - August highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

The most recent monthly report on ontology content, for August 2008, is 
now available at:

     http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Aug2008_report

Ontology development highlights from August:

   * We've wrapped up the work on the peptidase/protease activity terms in 
the function ontology (http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Proteases).

   * The detailed announcement about 'regulates' links between MF and BP 
has gone out to the GO Friends list. The links will be added in February 
(see http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/FP-regulates-GOfriends-email 
or the list archive).

   * We've made lots of progress on several ongoing efforts:

         * New term additions for PAMGO 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Category:Content_PAMGO).

         * Transcription and transcription factors 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Transcription).

         * Overhaul of signal transduction process terms 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Signaling).

         * Taxon-based "triggers" for annotation quality control 
(previously referred to as "taxon links") for GO terms 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Taxon-GO_Implementation_April_2008_onwards#July_18th).

         * Function-process links for electron transport and metabolic 
pathways (http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Function-Process_Links)

         * Quality control work connected with the regulation terms 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Ontology_Quality_Control)

All of these will continue in September. We'll also return to processes 
affecting cellular components 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Cellular_component_processes).

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.
