Protein Ontology Workshop

Date: June (17)-18-19, 2014. The meeting will begin with an informal reception in the Holiday Inn, Georgetown, on Tuesday, June 17 and conclude at 4pm on June 19.

Venue: Georgetown University's Harris Building is about 3 miles from Union Station, and 1.5 miles from the Woodley Park subway station. The DC Circulator Georgetown Line services the Holiday Inn Georgetown the Union Station train station. If you arrive via the Woodley Park subway station, the hotel provides free shuttle service. The cost is just $1.

There is a GU shuttle that stops at the Harris building. From the GU campus, look for the Wisconsin Ave Shuttle, which stops at the Epicurean Restaurant.

Parking is available at the Holiday Inn, which is half a block from Georgetown University's Harris Building. There is also parking directly underneath the Harris Building ($20 per day), and another one at the end of the road ($9 per day).

Goals and outcomes

The goals of this meeting are:

• 1. To contribute to the ontological understanding of phenotype and disease across organisms
• 2. To advance the treatment of protein-related clinical and translational data from the perspective of consistency, discoverability and support for diagnosis
• 3. To advance coordination between the Protein Ontology and other protein-related information resources

Desired outcomes are of two sorts:

• Relating to disease:

We will seek greater clarity as to

- how proteomic information in general and the PRO in particular can help us to understand the relationship between genotype and phenotype, for example in understanding disease etiology

- which relations we should use in linking the protein entities represented in the PRO to disease entities

- which are the important entities on the protein side that need to be linked

• Relating to PRO's interactions with external resources:

UniProt: Draft of policies/recommendations regarding accession/site tracking for UniProt and PRO

IntAct: Identify points of agreement and discrepancy in curation pipelines and resolve as appropriate. Reach agreements for example on reciprocal links and accession issues
