Hi Trish, This is a very informal effort Chris Mungall has been leading - and is directly related to the work he, NCI, OBI, BIRN, and others have been doing on a shared formalism for expressing ontology-associated metadata - or AnnotationProperties - or "speech acts" - depending on who you discuss the issue with. It all comes down to setting a context for the ontology content being constructed - and the ontology- based assertions/annotations being created using formalisms such as PATO. So far, this has really just consisted of a few email threads, to the best of my knowledge, though I may have missed ongoing follow-up discussions.
