	abstract = {The goal of the Plant Ontology{\texttrademark} Consortium is to produce structured controlled vocabularies, arranged in ontologies, that can be applied to plant-based database information even as knowledge of the biology of the relevant plant taxa (e.g. development, anatomy, morphology, genomics, proteomics) is accumulating and changing. The collaborators of the Plant Ontology{\texttrademark} Consortium (POC) represent a number of core participant database groups. The Plant Ontology{\texttrademark} Consortium is expanding the paradigm of the Gene Ontology{\texttrademark} Consortium (http://www.geneontology.org). Various trait ontologies (agronomic traits, mutant phenotypes, phenotypes, traits, and QTL) and plant ontologies (plant development, anatomy [incl. morphology]) for several taxa (Arabidopsis, maize/corn/Zea mays and rice/Oryza) are under development. The products of the Plant Ontology{\texttrademark} Consortium will be open-source. Copyright {\textcopyright} 2002 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},
