Re: [Obo-discuss] Ontology development

[Chris M. <cj...@be...>]

Arun,

The FAO is already registered with OBO. With regards to subcellular  
anatomy, the GO cellular component ontology is fairly well established  
and applied across multiple taxa, including fungi. Perhaps you could  
start by outlining the reasons why you would need to develop a new  
ontology from scratch?

Cheers
Chris
