Re: Minutes for Scientific Discourse call

Hi All,

I have made the mapping between MO and OBI/OBO ontologies and posted 
the mapping
files on MGED ontology page. You can find the links in the mapping section of
page
http://mged.sourceforge.net/ontologies/MGEDontology.php

The mapping were made based on the definition. We found it should be more
accurate to map the terms based on how they were used in the MAGE-TAB files.
This work is in progress. I will update the MO to OBI mapping file soon and
distribute the link.

Thanks,

Jie
