[Go] Ontology development - December highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

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

     http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Dec2008_report

Ontology development highlights from December:

   * 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).

   * Once again, we've made lots of progress on several ongoing efforts:

 	* Overhaul of virus-related terms 
(http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Virus_terms).

         * 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 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.
