Soybean ontology (PR#24)

[Katica Ilic]

Hi Rex,

Great! POC core members have conference call on Sept 09. So next day,
Sept 10 would be good time for a phone call or any other other day after 
Sep 09. Time difference is 2 hours I believe, any time except Tuesday and
Thursday morining 10-12 (PST), when we have regular meetings at TAIR.

Please let me know if this is OK. I hope it's not too 'far-away' date.
