Ontologies Project Tracking

Scope:
- Develop required ontology resources for the communication of tree reconciliation analysis results.
- Initial ontology is in OBO format, this is the format required for import into the controlled vocabulary tables in the TR database
- Later ontology development in OWL format, this is the format required for use with NEXML, and allows for integration of the ontology in semantic web infrastructure.
Deliverables:
- Tree Reconciliation Ontology (TRON)
  An OWL formatted tree_reconciliation ontology. This will be referred to internally as TRON and will have the TRON namespace, but will be called tree reconciliation ontology to avoid unnecessary confusion with prior art.
- Example use of TRON ontology in NEXML representation of reconciled trees
- TRON Manuscript
  Manuscript announcing the available and describing the use of the tree reconciliation ontology.
- iPlant TRON Ontology Service
