Unassigned action items
NONE!!!!
Action items moved into tracker

- AI:TIME - needs to be discussed and a proposal produced for representing temporal events, waiting etc in OBI DL:Summer workshopdiscussion to start on tracker (assign MC, merge with previous)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1962586&group_id=177891&atid=886178
- AI: Daniel Schober to update naming conventions page to allow suffix role being allowed in role special case and also for cases in data transformation branch which are sensible e.g. sine_transformation DL:7 Feb Tracker for DS created
- AI:Resolve the difference between Investigation and ProtocolApplication - BP suggests that PA never tests a hypothesis and that Investigations can have hypotheses DL:Mar 1 add to OWL file (add to tracker, assign BP) hypothesis in tracker
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1889536&group_id=177891&atid=886178

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1962584&group_id=177891&atid=886178
- AI: AR/BP/BS - will refine the analyte proposal. There are placement issues to resolve. DL:Mar 1 release (tracker 1866457)
- AI:Relation Branch will develop a way to make it clear for relations using an annotation property (or similar) to make it clear which relations can be used at class and which can be used at instance level. This constraint is needed. DL:Mar 1 (entered into RO tracker 1949892 )
- AI:move hypothesis, dt role, stat factor from role, add under new class specification suggest a new role - specifies? Plan/PA branch DL:Info Ontology? TRACKER TO JF
- AI:processes can't bear roles, objective is used instead for e.g. negative control - add to tracker. JF/JG DL:Feb 7 TRACKER TO JF
- AI:Communities to send terms to instrument branch to improve coverage. BB will send an OWL file for BIRN microscopy and imaging. CK will review the file and reformat. TRACKER TO BB
- AI:Edit:suggested edit new class role assignment with group assignment underneath it if PA can be distinct from a Planned Process PRS DL:Mar 1 TRACKER TO PRS
- AI:Edit:Definition of PA defined as being carried out to modify or generate data or materials in an investigation. Issues still BP. DL:Mar 1 TRACKER TO BP
- AI:biomaterial will attempt define in vivo, ex vivo etc as a defined class and see if this works, these may be at assay level not material level, and these will likely be processes PRS DL:Mar 1 TRACKER TO PRS
- AI:MC/BB/JF will write up the explanation on Role, Function and what we understand about these for distribution and we will then develop a consensus on going forward on this. DL:Mar 1 (not OWL file) docs In Progress - Bill working in function - we will write a doc TRACKER TO MC
- AI:We will need to deal with Parameters instances such as voltage, use cases from Instrument, will be in qualities. MC will group terms on a google doc and work with PATO DL:Mar 1 term submission to MC's google doc - submitted to PATO beginning of march, but no feedback yet. TRACKER TO MC
- AI:Produce an example a Protocol acquired into ProtocolApplication from ArrayExpress - HP DL:Mar 1
- AI:BS/AR will devolve organization ontology, document ontology and information entity to a new ontology in the future, these are too high level for OBI ASSIGNED TO BP
- AI:BB will send the link to his modified BirnLex SW ontology to the data transformation branch ASSIGNED TO BB
- AI: John Westbrook will provide us with top-level hierarchy (low number of terms) for incorporation into OBI. ASSIGNED TO ALAN TO EMAIL JW
- AI: Cartik will share his annotations with OBI 'MC TO EMAIL
- AI: AR will develop measurement proposal and circulate to OBI and Chris Mungall, Barry Smith, Michael Ashburner as this conflicts with "towards" relation in PATO, and derive a consensus. ASSIGNED TO ALAN Tracker to Alan to develop and circulate ' measurement proposal' . Discuss integration of information in general at workshop
- AI:types can bear quality like things features and mathematical function and this is a workaround here where classes are created in OBI for math entities. Outside BFO so needs to be OBI and would mean that we don't need a relation. New class called feature - has_feature relates a type to a feature, all base, degree and number are features of type. DT branch and CC, AR, BS. 'Reassigned to JM
Completed Action Items
AI:Bi-weekly releases of the OBI merged file will be made in SVN, it will be versioned less than 1.0). This will require unit tests from Bill (another AI from this workshop), will be in OWL-DL, likely this will mean use of pellet. Will be released on 1 and 15 of each Month. First release will be on March 1. For release it must classify in pellet at a minimum. This will be a per 1.0 release. JG will provide his an xls version as well BB, MC, CK, JG DL:Mar 1, first release 2 first releases done - is OWL-DL and passes Pellet test

- DL:DONE
AI:BS/AR to explain why roles cannot be born by processes. DONE. We will use objective of planned process to state e.g. variables and then processes such as sham surgery are do not need to be bearers of roles., the objective of a sham surgery control is the objective. The process is independent of this
- DL:DONE
AI:JW to look at use case docs and suggest some for stuctural biology

- AI:issue that we need a quality like thing of 'Gifness' and how works with DENRI. could also be solved by using feature om OBI as above, again a work around BS/AR: DL:?When info ontology is tackled? Current decision is to leave GIF as data format specification instance, but move the instances to a separate file. Done: new file DataFormatSpecification.owl People need to update their .owl and .repository files to include it
- AI:discuss within Instrument branch ,consequences for making artefact object a defined class only to avoid problems where there are biomaterials that are also human generated. DL:Feb 15 OR can we could keep artefact object and add classes underneath it use this strategy only for biomaterials, as we think all instruments will be artefact objects. Would be weird to have instrument next to protein. MC will communicate to instrument branch. Biomaterial branch are going with the defined class and will use reasoner to place terms in h'archy e.g. under artifact object and some other parent DONE
- AI: proposal how to define material: material is union of BFO object, BFP object aggregate, BFO fiat object part. Is now the root for biomaterial and artifact which are defined classes and will help OBI be multi granular DL:Mar 1 OWL file DONE

- AI:develop a strategy for dealing with the OBO foundry ontologies and OBI application ontology if import works. Decision if we have that everything is done. DL:Workshop DONE
- AI:Two proposals for release notes, OWL file annotation property and SVN checkin logs, resolved as editor notes long, SVN short. DL:DONE
- AI:custom google custom search box for OBI wiki will be requested from CS group CS DL:In progress, Apr 1 - DONE
- AI:Wiki DENRI, Relations, Quality, Role need links to their term list files and or notes on the Branch Conf Calls DONE
- AI:General feeling that there is no design whereby computing over h'archy depth is designed into OBI and it's not a good way to work with OBI at present MC will speak to EM about this DL:Mar 1 DONE
- AI:An underscore will be added to each branches helper classes, each branch will deal with this themselves DL:Mar 1 OWL file DONE
- AI:Bioportal should point at the most recent version OBI-OWL merged file release so that progress is visible. We could release every 2 weeks, point at what changes in change log. Could be pull or push. Chris Stoeckert and Daniel Rubin. DL:15 Feb for mechanism, upload after Mar 1 DONE
- AI:BP and AR will try and develop ProtocolApplication from Plan to evaluate whether this can be done automatically. This is a script to merge. Evaluation needs to be soon DL: Mar 1

- AI:EDIT:evaluant is added as a role, RS will make a definition. It's the thing being evaluated DEF:An evaluant_role is the role played by a portion of material (including specimens and human subjects) that serves as the subject of study in an assay such that the output data describes a feature (quality..... e.g. "contains 10 pg/ml IL2") of the evaluant.
