Earlier today @dornawcox, @sudokita, @ziamehrabi, @julietnpn , @celineaubert , @malaporte, and Elizabeth met to discuss the idea of connecting various plant ontologies that we use or developed.
We’d like to welcome others on this forum to share the ontologies they’ve used or created. Individually we have created plant ontologies for distinct applications. Moving forward we would like to organize a meeting or online gathering where we present our ontologies to each other. From there we would like to discuss about the opportunities and implications for connecting some or all of these ontologies.
The plant ontologies discussed today include:
Crop Ontology: http://www.cropontology.org/
Agronomy Ontology: https://github.com/AgriculturalSemantics/agro
Planteome (Plant and Plant Trait ontologies): http://planteome.org/
For an easy exploration of the ontologies, you can use this website: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/index
The ontology that underlies the Software for Agricultural Ecosystems (SAgE Plant Database): https://sage-pdb.herokuapp.com/
Cover Crop Decision Support Tool (no website/github yet)
Let us know if you’re interested in this topic!
