Hello Kent,<br><br>We would be very happy to accept a list of terms for the Compositae. We will need the name of each term, a brief definition of the term (following the format in the existing ontology), and an indication of where in the ontology the term should be placed.

As part of this project, we h</font><font face="Arial" size="2">ave also collected extensive phenotypic data on several hundred accessions in the Compositae. We are in the process of developing a database to compile and store this data and make it accessible via our website. In describing our phenotypic data, we would

However, you note on your website that these vocabularies are not yet available for the Compositae, and we have many types of data that I do not see in the current descriptions

I would appreciate your advice on how we should proceed in a way that will remain consistent the goals of the plant ontology project to allow broad and
