POC

[Katica Ilic]

Dear Dr, Wahid,

I apologize for the delayed response to your e-mail. Thank you for your
complements and for the encouraging words to POC. We all appreciate it.

No, we haven't published definitions that are included the Plant Structure
Ontology yet, but you can access the Angiosperm Phylogeny Web Glossary
either through the University of Missouri at St Louis link
(http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/APweb/top/glossaryA_H.html),
or, you can also access it from our POC web site:
http://www.plantontology.org/docs/otherdocs/resources.html.

Our structured vocabulary (Plant Ontology) is meant to be a web-based tool,
and you can download ontology and definition files from our web site. We
are planning to publish our work on Plant Ontology very soon, and this
will be announced on the POC web site (News section) later this year.

I am very pleased to hear that our Plant Ontology is useful as a teaching
tool. Now that ontology is out, its educational aspect is certainly
something we will be paying more attention in near future.

Best regards,

Katica
