Development unavoidably impacts the ecosystems constituting often producing complex outcomes across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The interconnectivity of global ecosystems and their varied responses to disturbance necessitate great caution when using or encountering terms such as sustainable and sustainability. The Environment Ontology (ENVO; www.environmentontology.org) is coordinating with the Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology (SDGIO) to improve semantic representation of environments in the context of global development. In this talk, we will present progress towards this goal, emphasising the potential of ecosystem semantics in bridging and seeding new domain ontologies.

Annotation enrichment analysis of a gene list helps biologists to identify the potential biological functions associated with it. With the extensions of plant ontology categories, the discovery of significant ontology terms associated with a gene list becomes more and more informative. We introduce a tool to help biologists to find out these terms based on the expanding ontology database of the Planteome project. In addition, we propose some new visualization schemes to help users construct a meaningful interpretation of the results guided by the ontology tree.
