Protocol Application Branch
Redirected Terms, which were bounced from the protocol application branch.

MO
MO Transcriptomic Terms plus immuno plus Tox terms contains current MO ~BioMaterial and now terms for sequences on arrays terms with definitions and mappings to PATO. Thanks to PATO (Chris M., Michael A, and George G) for the comments on the MO-PATO mappings. Terms have been added from BUG@S Bacterial array database (thanks to Adam Witney) and ~ArrayExpress. Excel file Extra columns are present in the xls file are: PATO id, PATO term, comment.
 * merged the other lists and reformatted for the conf call

Immune Epitope
Immuno BioMaterial terms

Env
MIGS/MIMS/ICOMM BioMaterial terms

Tox

Proteomics
PSI BioMaterial terms

Copied by HP from call notes 27 Feb link to prexisting lists for PSI* - Proteomics/PSI sample terms are posted under OBO see MI, MOD, IPR, SEP

Polymorphism Community
-terms

Cellular Assay Community (MIACA)
terms as Excel list and as word file, terms not related to biomaterials in grey. We are not totally sure where Materials start to be not  any more.

Examples of Media and supplements, and of perturbator''types This is in response to the conference call on Mar 23

Flow Cytometry

 * Tab delimited file with terms provided by Kevin Clancy:[[Media:clancy-exp-protocol.xls]]

Communities are compiling lists of their ~BioMaterial term requirements (preferably following the naming conventions[2| NamingConventions]) as a tab-delimited file (term name and definition) - all needed terms if time permits. As for granularity, examples will be provided of the terms as they would be used in annotations. The term's parent class should also be specified according to an existing ontology, preferably one amongst the OBO Foundry constellation of ontologies. For example, for transcriptomics an example using terms as they exist in the MGED Ontology (MO) would be ~MaterialType as the parent class and the annotation terms of genomicDNA, cell, celllysate etc.

Lists of required relationships are also being compiled. For example, partipants are compiling relations required to create a formal specification of an action/treatment/protocol performed on a given ~BioMaterial. Where possible, candidate relations should be taken from - or at least derived from - the OBO Relations (RO) ontology.
