Feedback on POC (fwd) (PR#55)

[Katica Ilic]

Dear Ross,

Thank you for contacting us about missing terms in the Plant Ontology. We are
currently in a very preliminary stage of introducing species–specific terms for
legumes, Solanaceae and cereal species (other than maize and rice), and
projected ontology release should take place in the second part of this year.
However, we are open to user's requests and always consider all the suggestions
and comments.

Two terms that you are inquiring, 'stolon' and 'nodule', will be introduced to
the Plant Ontology next week; the next revision in the POC cvs will have these
new terms. We regularly update our Ontology browser on monthly basis (usually at
the end of the month), and the next scheduled update is March 23.  If you are
familiar with GO or OBO flat files, you can simply download the latest ontology
files from the POC cvs next week (URL: http://brebiou.cshl.edu/viewcvs/Poc/)

Thank you again for using Plant ontologies. Please contact us any time you have
question about ontologies, our database or about POC project in general.

Best regards,

Katica Ilic, POC Project Coordinator
