From: Michael Ashburner <ma11@gen.cam.ac.uk> To: Date: Friday - June 29, 2007 9:03 AM Subject: [Obo-environ] A georeferencing ontology for comment. Attachments georeferencing-ontology (90112 bytes) [View] [Open] [Save As] geo.obo (268666 bytes) Dear colleague, As some of you know I have been thinking about the development of an ontology for the georeferencing of biological samples and records for some months. Earlier this month I decided to have a go at developing a draft ontology for this purpose. This is attached (geo.obo). In addition, I have drafted a whitepaper which will give the background, rationale and methodology (georeferencing-ontology.doc, a MS Word file). I very much want input on this. The ontology itself is in OBO format and can conveniently be viewed in OBO-EDIT, which is freely downlaodable from: www.oboedit.org Unfortunately I cannot attend the small meeting of the Ontogenesis group next week, but I am sending this to several of you who will be there in the hope that it will stimulate some discussion. Please feel free to redistribute these documents to others you know who may have an interest. Thankyou, Michael Ashburner
