[Go] Ontology development - February highlights

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

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

   http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Feb2009_ontdev_report

Ontology development highlights from February:

   * The big news this month is that 'regulates' links have gone live 
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).

   * Plans for cross-products (as well as the recently released regulates 
links) are available at http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/GO_Timeline

   * 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).

   * Planning has begun for a small content meeting on electron transport, 
organized by Rob Gunsalus and Jen Deegan.

   * The paper on the muscle content meeting has been published:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19178689?dopt=Abstract
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1755-8794/2/6

   * 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.
