The first Phenoscape data jamboree revealed that our curation workflow implemented in Phenote could be quite cumbersome, particularly in managing the huge numbers of rows containing annotations for every taxon. Discussion after the jamboree settled on a new workflow which allows more division of effort, allowing experienced curators to focus on the description of phenotypes using EQ, while input of specimen lists and character matrices can be done separately, possibly by assistants.

Workflow activities
This workflow is divided into 3 main activities, each of which can be performed independently and in parallel.
EQ character state coding
This activity involves the translation of published character states into ontology-based EQ descriptions. This requires deep domain knowledge providing full comprehension of the published descriptions and thorough understanding of anatomy and quality ontologies. This activity can be performed independent of annotations to particular taxa - the curator focuses only on describing the character states.
