CELL BEHAVIOR ONTOLOGY DISCUSSION

30 OCTOBER 2009 Notes recorded by Susan Hester

TASK: IDENTIFY CORE ENTITIES COMMON TO PARTICIPANTS' WORK

ENTITY

• CELL
• NONCELL
  • SOLID
    • ECM
  • FLUID
    • LIQUID
    • GAS
  • SOLUTE

TASK: IDENTIFY FUNDAMENTAL CELL PROPERTIES

CELL PROPERTIES

• VOLUME
• SURFACE AREA
• SHAPE

TASK: IDENTIFY KEY SPATIAL CONCEPTS

SPATIAL CONCEPTS

• BOUNDARY

TASK: IDENTIFY MINIMAL DESCRIPTORS

MINIMAL DESCRIPTORS

• INCREASE
• DECREASE
• CHANGE
• (REDISTRIBUTION?)
• (BECOMING?)

DEFINING PROCESSES

CELL SIZE GROWTH:

• "CELL SIZE GROWTH IS AN INCREASE IN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE MASS AND VOLUME."

CELL DIVISION

• "ONE CELL BECOMES MULTIPLE CELLS."

CELL DEATH

• "ONE CELL BECOMES NONCELL STUFF."

CELL SHAPECHANGE

• "A CELL CHANGES SHAPE."

CELL EXPORT*

• "ONE CELL BECOMES ONE CELL PLUS NONCELL STUFF (NCS)."

CELL IMPORT*

• "ONE CELL PLUS NONCELL STUFF (NCS) BECOMES ONE CELL."

MATERIAL TRANSPORT

• TRANSPORT ACROSS CELL BOUNDARY
  • EXPORT
    • SECRETION
  • IMPORT
    • ABSORPTION

Note:

NOTE: TRY TO DIVORCE PHENOMENA FROM MECHANISMS CAUSING THEM

• IMPORT AND EXPORT ARE SUBCATEGORIES OF OF TRANSPORT ACROSS A CELL BOUNDARY, WHICH IS IN ITSELF A SUBCATEGORY OF TRANSPORT.
