The new metadata model (release 1.3) has allowed us to implement additional
features to leverage the power of metadata within the portal: 

*	An ontology landscape page that displays diagrams and charts about
all the ontologies on the portal:  <http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/landscape>
http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/landscape . Please check this out and send
feedback!
*	A few changes to the ontology Summary page e.g.,
<http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/ontologies/ANAEETHES>
http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/ontologies/ANAEETHES 

*	A list of "additional metadata properties" for which, the backend
values are stored with standard URIs whenever possible.
*	"Get my metadata back" buttons which allow ontology developers to
download the metadata that has been edited on the portal in RDF/XML, JSON-LD
or N-triple syntax in order to copy/paste it in the original ontology file.

 

In conjunction with the PractikPharma / SIFR projects (annotation of French
clinical text with ontologies) we have implemented additional features
within the Annotator, including:

*	Plugin-in the NegEx/Context algorithm to detect negation or
temporality for annotations. E.g.
<http://services.agroportal.lirmm.fr/annotator/?text=the%20plant%20show%20no
%20sign%20of%20blight&ontologies=NALT&negation=true&display_links=false&disp
lay_context=false&apikey=1de0a270-29c5-4dda-b043-7c3580628cd5>
http://services.agroportal.lirmm.fr/annotator/?text=the%20plant%20show%20no%
20sign%20of%20blight&ontologies=NALT&negation=true&apikey=1de0a270-29c5-4dda
-b043-7c3580628cd5 
*	Additional output formats for the annotations (e.g.,  BRAT or Quaero
corpus format)  

 

Among the content change of this release we can mention:

*	Projects from the AgBioData group
*	Metadata population and curation for each ontology (feel free to
send feedback or edit)
*	Harmonisation of metadata fields (e.g., organization names, ontology
types, languages, etc.)
*	New vocabularies and ontologies such as: GACS (Global Agricultural
Concept Scheme), Soy ontology, Foodie 

 

This release includes code merge with NCBO BioPortal (5.3.0). See the
release notes for more details on additionnal features:

Bug fixes of this release include: 

*	Multilingual synonyms are not indexed anymore
*	Fix the partial parsing of big SKOS resources
*	Indexation of properties (see NCBO release notes)
*	Fix a few bugs in the front user interface cache 
*	Optimisation of metadata retrieval by ontology submission
*	Automatic synchronization of groups and slices

 

We are pleased to announce that AgroPortal will be featured during
<https://workshop.inra.fr/in-ovive-2017> IN-OVIVE 2017 workshop and
<http://www.efita2017.org/> EFITA 2017 conference's demonstration session
in Montpellier, week of July 3rd, 2017.
