1. Crop Ontology towards the semantic integration of open plant trait data www.cropontology.org Elizabeth Arnaud, Luca Matteis, Rosemary Shrestha, Milko Skofic, Laurel Cooper, Pankaj Jaiswal, Pierre-Yves Chibon, Mark Wilkinson, Richard Bruskiewich, Graham McLaren

2. Problem Breeders databases use different names for the same trait, or same trait name for different things. Data are often unstructured. They are NOT interoperable.

3. Knowledge domain for plant breeders breeding = ”the art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics in given environments.”

4. salinity tolerance

5. 16 crops... Banana Barley Cassava Chickpea Common bean Cowpea Groundnut Maize Pearl Millet Pigeon pea Potato Rice Sorghum Soybean Wheat Yam

7. Semantics From OBO to RDF/SKOS resolvable HTTP URIs a skos:Concept ; rdfs:label "Flag leaf weight"@en ; dc:creator _:b1 ; skos:definition "Weight of the flag leaf (the one just below the panicle)." ; skos:inScheme co:sorghum ; skosxl:prefLabel [ a skosxl:Label ; co:acronym [ a skosxl:Label ; skosxl:literalForm "FLGWT" ] ; skosxl:literalForm "Flag leaf weight"@en ].
