Date
Thursday, May 26, 6pm BST / 1pm EST / 10am PST
Participants
Agenda
1. Triage proposed changes into the following categories:
- implement before paper publishing
- implement after paper publishing
- do not implement
Proposed changes
Prop table in genotype module
- change: addition of (vanilla) prop table to genotype module [cvterm_id, value, rank]
- proposer: Seth Redmond / Vectorbase
- reason: enables us to store ontology terms for current genotypes, e.g. presence/absence of specific inversions - impossible under current schema
Hackathon changes
- phenotype
- phenotypeprop (Can somebody add the reason for adding this table?)
Yuri's proposals
- Add environmentprop. This is useful when creating phenstatements.
- Add phenstatementprop. This is useful when creating phenstatements.
- Add nd_experiment_protocolprop. I use this to store protocol values specific to an nd_experiment.
- Add nd_experiment_phenotypeprop. I use this to store phenotype observations specific to an nd_experiment.
- Add cvalue_id to NatDiv property tables and related property tables like projectprop. This allows for postcomposition of cvterms like units to the property type_id.
- Chado has some way to post-compose cvterms which Maccallr 11:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC) doesn't understand.
Bob's proposals
Just looking at the NatDiv prop tables, saw some inconsistencies:
- nd_geolocationprop.value is varchar(250) while others in NatDiv are 255. Rest of chado is type 'text'. Propose change to text.
- nd_experimentprop.value is NOT NULL while all others (in NatDiv) allow NULL (rest of chado is mixed). Propose all allow NULL.
