[Go] Ontology development - January highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

The most recent monthly report on ontology content, for January 2009, is 
now available at:

     http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Jan2009_report

Ontology development highlights from January:

   * We've done a lot of the groundwork preparing to release 'regulates' 
links within the molecular function ontology, and between the molecular 
function and biological process ontologies (see 
http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/FP-regulates; more will be added to 
the wiki soon).

   * We've continued reviewing internal cross-products, i.e. cross-products 
where both the genus and differentiae are GO terms, with the aim of making the 
first ones live a few weeks after the 'regulates' links between function and 
process go in (see 
http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Category:Cross_Products and 
http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Editors_cross-product_implementation_plan, 
plus individual pages in the Cross_Products category).

** See http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/GO_Timeline for a summary of 
our plans for new regulates links and cross-products.

   * The work on signal transduction terms is still going on, and now 
includes plans for a content meeting 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Signaling).

   * We also do ongoing work on quality control work connected with the 
regulation terms and for terms with more than one part_of parent 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Ontology_Quality_Control).

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.
