THESOLIVE V.0.1

Description

THESOLIVE is a dynamic thesaurus of phenotypic traits specifically to olive tree (Olea europaea L.) to describe the datasets collected from literature studies and passport data associated with collections in seed banks.

The semantic standards of traits and their parameters are based on previous work on the terminological resources relative to the plant phenotype and their qualities, and are aligned to other ontologies whenever possible, such as the Thesaurus of Plant Characteristics in particular (TOP: https://www.top-thesaurus.org/) , The Phenotype And Trait Ontology (PATO), The Plant Ontology (PO).

The concepts in THESOLIVE are categorised following the associative properties of the CropOntology (CO: https://cropontology.org/) concepts :

ENTITY
 |
 +— TRAIT (ENTITY + ATTRIBUTE) - "what is observed"
      |
      +— METHOD - "how the observation is made"
            |
            +— SCALE or UNIT - "how the observation is expressed"

• The concepts in Trait represent traits within each trait category and are organized at the highest-level by the entities (fruit, flower, leaf, root, stem ...).
• The concepts in Method are the most common measurement methods found in the literatures
• The concepts in Scale provide the preferred unit for the trait measurement adapted from TOP
• The concepts in Entity describe the plant structure of olive
• The Collection tab provide a visualisation of the concepts according to their classification adapted from Pietragalla et al. (2022).
