dictyBase Literature Curation and How Authors can Help. This presentation highlights the time consuming strain curation and how authors may help with adding tables; it also describes the possibility to use textmining when annotating Gene Ontology, and how authors can insure that results are described in a complete way and easy to interpret for textmining tools. At the SAB meeting it was then decided to create a community annotation form. At the end of the talk a floor vote was taken that indicated people would respond to community curation requests.
