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.
Goals
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 resources, including the UniProtKB and the Protein Data Bank
Desired outcomes are of two sorts:
- Relating to Disease:
- We will seek greater clarity as to
- 1. 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
- 2. which relations we should use in linking the protein entities represented in the PRO to disease entities
- 3. 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
