Phenote - A biomedical annotation tool using ontologies
This wiki page currently serves as the public Phenote project page for posting of materials related to its development. In particular, this will be the site used for announcement and posting of working group agendas and reports/transcripts.
What is Phenote?
Phenote is a software application and open-source toolkit to facilitate annotation of biomedical data using ontologies. It is being driven by its development as a phenotype annotation tool, but is generalizable to any tool to be used for annotation using ontologies.
For more information, please visit the website at phenote.org
Who should be interested in Phenote?
Anyone doing annotation using ontologies. Specifically, anyone doing phenotype annotation such as biocurators affiliated with model organism databases, biological/medical image analysts and ontology developers.
Request tracker
You can use the tracker (currently hosted on sourceforge) to request new items or suggest modifications
Mailing List
The OBO Phenote list is for discussion of Phenote software, announcements, etc.

ProtocolEditor and matrix view for BIRN
We are currently collaborating with Will Moore at the OME at Dundee, Scotland on integrating his ProtocolEditor with Phenote. Here is a nice video of his protocol editor:
http://users.openmicroscopy.org.uk/~ola/720x540/OMERO.ProtocolEditor-new-omero-movie.mov
The idea is that one defines "Observables" in the ProtocolEditor in addition to everything about the experiment. The observables will be items one wants to record using Phenote. Some examples (from a non-biologist) might be:
PE: Dendrite length in microns, Phenote: user enters integer or float
PE: Brain-cell color, Phenote: user enters from drop down list of colors from pato
PE: Dendrite shape warped, Phenote: user checks true/false checkbox
To generalize there are 3 different types of Observables, all require an Entity:
- A measurement of an Entity (including units), value to be recorded by entering it in Phenote
- An attribute of an Entity, value to be recorded by selecting from a pick list in Phenote
- The presence of a certain quality/value, to be recorded in Phenote by a checkbox (true/false)
For #2, a pato attribute, all of the values below the attribute will be available as a pick list, so color would show all of the color values listed in pato.
In the matrix view the column headings would be each of the Observables defined beforehand in the PE. A row would be something you were making these statements about, like an image (with an image ID). So a row of the matrix would then contain multiple phenotype statements, capturing all of the phenotype information you want to make about a particular image. The matrix allows you to rapidly go through and characterize images, and allows you to see in one line all the data for an image.
You can still view the traditional table view of 1 row per phenotypic assertion (with image ID repeated). In this view one can add more information about a particular phenotype, like free text description and such. It should also be possible to add additional Phentoypes that are observed for any image, using one row per Phenotype as usual. Upon returning to the matrix view, these could be displayed in "Additional Phenotype" columns (EQ column pairs - an additional pair of columns for each additional Phenotype), thereby maintaining one image per row.
Another question is how would BIRN like to take advantage of the protocol editor & matrix. Would this be helpful for literature curation? Can this be utilized in the context of Smart Atlas? or JINX? Or would this be used as an experiment/image annotation tool in its own right?
