1 Nano WG Activities for Current Period – NPO Related Establish formal processes incorporating JIRA tracker for Nanoparticle Ontology (NPO) governance and for expansion requirements based on ISA-TAB-Nano-related requirements and other user feedback. (May 17) Create additional NPO views or diagrams showing how to use the ontology (July 2) Expansion of NPO to support ISA-TAB-Nano, NanoRegistry and other stakeholders (Nov 2) Communicate project status at Workspace teleconferences, as appropriate. (including Aug 22 and Nov 14) Submit a final report to the ICR Workspace which includes: current activities, statements of scientific purpose, demonstrable need, success metrics and how they were achieved, potential future activities and priorities. (Nov 2)

2 Nano WG Activities for Current Period – ISA-TAB-Nano Related ISA-TAB-Nano mappings to NPO and other ontologies and vocabularies to promote use of standards (July 2) Establish a formal process incorporating JIRA tracker for governance of and to capture requirements from ISA-TAB-Nano users including the responses to the ASTM ballot and user feedback in anticipation of updating the specification (May 17) Continue working with curation and LS DAM teams to enter ISA-TAB-Nano terms into the NCIthesaurus and register it in the caDSR. (July 2) Collaborate with external organizations and communities in order to promote use of ISA-TAB-Nano and NPO, to leverage existing standards, maximize synergies and reduce redundancy of efforts. Document interactions, participation and continuing interest. Consistent participation of these external communities is the measurable outcome. (Nov 2) Communicate project status at Workspace teleconferences, as appropriate. (including Aug 22 and Nov 14) Submit a final report to the ICR Workspace which includes: current activities, statements of scientific purpose, demonstrable need, success metrics and how they were achieved, potential future activities and priorities.
