Linking Evolution to Genomics Using Phenotype Ontologies:
First Morphology Data Jamboree

A workshop hosted by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent).

Location and Date

Venue: National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) (directions, also see information for visitors)

Date: April 18-20, 2008

Organizers: Paula Mabee, Monte Westerfield, Todd Vision, and Hilmar Lapp

Introduction

We have developed the software tools to input systematic character data in a formalized way to a degree that we have started to enter species-level as well as some of the higher level taxonomic characters (e.g. from Fink & Fink, 1981). This workshop brings together morphologists from the community of ichthyologists and project personnel focused on morphology, taxonomy, data curation, ontology curation, and informatics. The workshop will introduce ichthyologists to the approach, and pair morphologists from the community with project personnel to work one-on-one on entering published systematic character data.

The hands-on curation work at the jamboree will almost certainly reveal ontological issues, such as terminology and synonymies, issues in annotation consistency or workflow, as well as usability and data flow issues involving the software tools. These will help drive the development of the database and web-based interfaces, but will also spur further development of the involved ontologies and refinement of the annotation procedures. The informatics as well as ontology personnel of the project will be on hand to respond to the issues on the spot.

Finally, the workshop will also provide a very interesting opportunity to brainstorm about the informatics tools and data required to push beyond current limits, thus fostering new discoveries at the interface between evolution and developmental genetics.

Agenda

The Jamboree will start in the morning (~9am) on Friday, April 18, and continue through noon on Sunday, April 20. Non-project participants will arrive on Thursday, April 17, and depart in the afternoon of April 20. Please see the detailed agenda for the program for each day.
