You would not need a new category for BioMaterialCharacteristic, I reckon biosource annotations should simply be exported as a BioMaterialCharacteristic. > And a related question: we (base admins) should create Annotation Types just > for the 'leaves' in the MGED ontology, is that correct? > > Is there a convention for capitalisation, spaces etc? e.g. > 1.

I haven't made any effort at importing MGED ontologies and I do not know of any convention for capitalisation in Base2. > While we're at it, a more advanced question: say we have a Biosource > Annotation Type called OrganismPart, which is free text (or a text enum).

Do you mean into base2 first and then exported in tab2mage? Also, we have a tab2mage export available on the base2 plugin source code (svn) page. Its not been packaged as a separate plugin distribution yet. However, we are hoping to do this soon. It need some extra enhancements. -- ¬Dominic ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
