Meeting notes and actions

Skype meeting Friday 11 Oct. 2013: Luca, Marie, Richard, ELizabeth

Marie proposes a procedure for converting the ontology (OBO and TD) into SKOS, for aligning to AGROVOC and for mapping with TRY.

1. We agreed that Methods and Traits should be separated in their own domain, in large classes in the conceptual schema and be annotated with the trait ID they correspond too. SKOS has different concept schema for triats, methods and scales. Luca has put methods and scales as 'narrower' relationships wiht MArk but this can be modified. Marie will code in SKOS the sorghum TD ( standard list), using the mapping she described in her doc. Get sample annotated data sets

2.Current CO RDF files failed the validator of W3C - Syntactic error

Luca send the file ot Marie for RDF improvement and the Jena code

3. Repository for RDF documentation - Triple store - have an internal short term triple store Part of the Jena project. Upload any RDF file

To be discussed further between Marie, Luca and Richard Decide if Luca develops an upload of SKOS formatted ontology

4. FAO uses SKOSXL for the labels, So to be compliant, we can use the same

5. Richard explained the purpose of the 3 sprints - Genesys, Tom - Three use cases RDF presentation of PGR descriptors, extensively use Darwincore Germplasm after improvement, triple store
