  • Administrative:
    • Welcome to new members, brief update from HuBMAP Annual meeting, clarification of group privacy policy
  • Ontologies to support cellular resolution data
    • HCA approach - Zina Perova

Call Notes & Action Items

  • Try and get CCF team on future call
  • Ontology lookup service - single POA to latest ontology versions
  • Ontology extract service - finds mappings between terms, tools to cross-reference other ontologies (understand even if not used, other groups able to map to ours)

  • Monthly ontology release well coordinated with other consortia releases

  • Not limited to a single ontology per domain
    • Lots of support for mapping between different ontologies in same domain
  • Large number of fields in Uberon, right now manual curation step after the fact, looking for solutions to make that easier
  • Milen - CCF in HuBMAP, how could this be plugged into a more standardized ontology? Similar problem for HTAN
  • Right now, using organ parts, or if very detailed (e.g. brain, eye), can get much more information, but for less well-defined organs proximal-distal coordinates have been a challenge
  • Tools or ontologies that qualify DUAs into a controlled vocabulary that you could use to annotate files so that permissions and sharing can be derived
