Re: [Obo-discuss] General Genetics Ontology

[shaw, k. <k....@bo...>]

Hello all!  I am new to the listserve and am looking forward to learning
more about the work your groups are doing in the area.  I have recently
begun looking into the development of a variety of comprehensive
ontologies in the biological sciences and found your comprehensive list
of materials at the OBO.

 

 I am writing because I am thinking about generating a genetics
ontology.  I know that the Gene Ontology already exists and a certain
amount of material that I would be thinking about would already be
covered.  However, the content of the Gene Ontology is somewhat more
detailed than I was going to cover in that it covers all the way down to
the gene level/biological function detail thus becoming closer to cell
biology and biochemistry.

 

Is anyone thinking of generating an ontology for more general genetics
(or other biology) topics- I am thinking of one more at the level of an
undergraduate biology class.  Just curious if anyone is already doing
this or interested in collaborating on generation/development of one
that would satisfy this purpose.
