Why a GCP Crop Ontology?
Offer harmonized and structured list of traits names, methods and scales
Facilitate sharing of information between research trials through field books
Increase efficiency of trait information retrieval and keyword-based queries
Enable annotation for integration of research documents, reports, and databases with ontological terms

Trait Template & Dictionaries
• The Trait Template is used by ontology curators and breeders to submit new trait lists
• Is a tool to get consensus on the trait to be submitted along with definitions, categories and scales
• Excel files to be uploaded on the Tool
The New Curation and Annotation tool
Crop curators can upload or create online ontologies Expend the content by adding terms and attributes like
photos, protocols, scale, scale value, scoring guidelines and growth stages for scoring traits
Anyone can post a comment. API available for any application to ‘programmatically’ create,
read, update and delete terms NoSQL Database The tool is on the Cloud to improve the access performance Code documented on GitHub: https://github.com/lmatteis/Crop-

Developers: Luca Matteis, Milko Skofic (Bioversity International) Video realization: Valentina Barbiero (Bioversity International)

Trait information with definition, photos & measurement methods
Crop Ontology Annotation Tool
• The annotation tool matches the content of the data file or trait list with validated terms from the ontology
• Curator can accept the match to with local term
• Leading to the harmonization of the annotation
• Result can be downloaded as comma separated file (csv) that can be uploaded into Excel or a database.
• Still at the prototype level, needs tests and feedback

A reference Trait List 1. Integration with IB Field book
file:///Users/elisabeth/Documents/GCP%20GRM%202011/presentation/Agtrials%20crop%20otno.swf
2. Integration with the Global Agricultural Trial Repository
http://www.agtrials.org
Drought Recovery - (Rice)
3. Integration with the Crop Wild Relatives Ontology
European Crop Wild Relative Diversity Assessment and Conservation Forum, EU funded
400 terms representing in situ and ex situ conservation status of Individual taxa & their utilization potential PGRSecure project : http://www.pgrsecure.bham.ac.uk/contacts
Plans for end 2011 & 2012
Ontology Curation and use Community of Practice for Data Management and Breeders
Content extension A trait dictionary for each crop with methods & scales Check online content with breeders Add Common Beans, Cowpea and Groundnut, Germplasm Methods Multilingual versions of trait names & definitions
Tool Development Take GRM feedback into account ON LINE SURVEY Synchronize crop ontology curation tool with the IBP Field Book using
web service Integration in the online and offline configurable IB workflow Expend use cases with Agtrials Build a single working place
