Re: [Obi-instrument-branch] instrument calls

[Allyson L. <all...@go...>]

Hi all,

The idea of trying out collaborative protege sounds good. And, while I don't
have much time for TCs right now, doing a little work here and there on the
ontology might be something I can make time for, especially since the
instrument group is dropping in numbers. So, please include me on whatever
next steps you take!
