• [Complete] Begin implementing dummy term info and autocomplete services.

Nov. 17-21

Jim

  • Anatomy [Done]
  • Taxon [Postponed]
  • Genes [Done]
• [Complete] Implement Rails app skeleton and code front page
• [Complete] Implement reusable JavaScript term info panel and embed in front page search interface.
• [Postponed to after SICB] Address NEXUS/Phenote file merging issues with Paula. Provide problematic files as NeXML to Paula and Wasila.

Cartik

• [Complete] Deploy OBD-WS application; continue deploying in-progress builds.
  • Package as WAR, deploy on Eryops.
  • Include dummy autocomplete and term info services.
• [Complete] Begin implementing live Term Info service within OBD-WS application.
• [Complete] Begin implementing live Autocomplete service within OBD-WS application.

Nov. 24-28

Jim

• [Complete] mostly on vacation

Cartik

• [Complete] Complete Term Info service
• [Complete] Complete Autocomplete service.
  • NOTES (December 9, 2008): Term info search and autocomplete services have been tested on Phenoscape database on Eryops.
  • Results for autocomplete are returned in JSON format and have been verified by Jim
• [Abandoned] Provide dummy Anatomy, Taxon, and Gene data service(s).

Dec. 1-5

Jim

• [Done] Implement anatomy UI.
• [Complete] Begin using autocomplete and term info services in all so-far developed user interfaces.

Cartik

• [Complete 2008-11-20] Write code to parse ZFIN phenotype data and load into OBD
  • See http://zfin.org/zf_info/downloads.html#phenotype
  • Data: http://zfin.org/data_transfer/Downloads/pheno_obo.txt
  • should use "exhibits" relation
  • NOTES (Date: Nov 20, 2008):
  1. ZFIN phenotype curations have been loaded into OBD database on Cartik's laptop along with 71 NeXML files from Phenoscape project
  2. ZFIN curations use PHENOSCAPE:exhibits and PHENOSCAPE:hasAllele relations
  3. Database size is 1.6 GB after running the OBD reasoner
  4. Database upload to Darwin complete (Nov 21, 2008)
  5. Loaded ZFIN data has been tested against OBD query engine and Term search engine. The latter is to be part of prototype to be demo'ed at SICB, Boston
• [Completed on 2008-12-10] Enhance OBD data loader pipeline to perform pre-processing of ZFA ontology, replacing xrefs with is_a links to TAO
  • These xrefs seem to still be in TAO - may have to fix that or work around
  • NOTES (Date: Dec 10, 2008)
  1. Is a links corresponding to DbXref links between ZFA and TAO terms have been added to Phenoscape database
  2. Is a links are added correctly irrespective of direction of DbXref link between ZFA and TAO terms
  3. New Phenoscape database will be loaded into Darwin tomorrow via PGSQL dump

Dec. 8-12

Jim

• [Done] Complete anatomy user interface.
• [Ongoing] Begin implementing taxon user interface - changed to Gene interface

Cartik

• [Complete] Complete ZFIN data loading tasks.
• [First version deployed 12-12-2008]Implement data service(s) related to Anatomy (requirements documented Nov. 17-21).
  • NOTES

    2. Tested on Eryops by Cartik on Dec 14
    3. To be verified by Jim

Dec. 15-19
