Configuration #
Upon establishment of a program, before ontology terms have been established, a breeder has the option to subscribe a program to a shared ontology.
Breeding Insight recommends that institutions with multiple breeding program per species share a single ontology so that variables are annotated with a standardized nomenclature, allowing data to be interpretable, interoperable, and reusable. The program that manages (adds, edits, and archives) ontology terms should be established as the “sharer”. The “subscriber” programs will need to coordinate with the appropriate people in the sharing program to request ontology updates.
Navigate to Program Administration and click on the “configuration” tab.
Share Ontology #
Select a program with whom to share your ontology. Save.
Subscribe to Shared Ontology #
Choose an ontology to which to subscribe. Note that another program will first need to share their ontology with you (see above). Save.
Unsubscribe from Shared Ontology #
Breeders have the ability to unsubscribe from an ontology until ontology terms are in use in experiments.
Select “Unsubscribe” button.
