Hi all,
It may be worth mentioning that the MGED ontology is working to
integrate within the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI - http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/obi)
. Jie Zheng in Chris Stoeckert group is currently working on this.
The OBI Release Candidate 1.0 has just been published - see http://obi-ontology.org/page/Releases/2009-11-06
. A mechanism allowing specific lightweight import of specific terms
from external resources, MIREOT (the Minimum Information to Reference
an External Ontology Term, http://precedings.nature.com/documents/3574/version/1)
has also been developed and implemented, and OBI currently imports
terms from NIFSTD amongst others.
Feel free to send any comment/question to the OBI users list, at http://groups.google.com/group/obi-users?hl=en
.
Regards,
Melanie

Hi Satya et al,
Thanks for creating the wiki page. I think it's a good start. I hope
our use case can help facilitate some of the ontology alignment
effort. You already listed a few to start. Other might include:
NIFSTD, SenseLab, SWAN, TMO, etc. You can also add my name to the
contact for the page if you want.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I have created a wiki page to collect provenance related terms
describing experiment conditions and protocols used to generate
microarray data [1]. The page also lists a set of queries that rely
on the provenance information associated with gene expression data.
Please add additional terms required to better describe the
experiment context, such as the statistical tools or process used
to obtain gene list (published in literature) from raw experiment
data.
-- thanks to Jun for the wiki page edit rights :)
cheers,
Satya
