Query on PO

[Katica Ilic]

Dear Serge,

Thank you for your interest in Plant Ontology. In the most recent revision
of Plant Ontology (anatomy.definition, revision 1.28, and anatomy.ontology,
revision 1.27, buth publicly released on June 23, 2004), all 632
terms have definitions, so if you download these files, it shouldn't be
any problem. Earlier revisions were lacking some definitions, as we were
in the process of building the ontology. Please, let me know if you are
still experiencing problems with the files.

I don't know much about Chado schema right now, I would need to look it
up, so, either I or my colleagues at CSHL (who are in charge of the POC
database) will get back to you soon on this matter.

Best regards,

Katica
