CDAO Developers meet in New Mexico
The Comparative Data Analysis Ontology (CDAO), is an OWL ontology representing knowledge in the area of comparative evolutionary analysis. It focuses on phylogenetic trees, OTUs, character data, and evolutionary transitions. CDAO developers recently met to develop the ontology further. 
| CDAO core developers met July 30 to August 1 in Las Cruces, NM, where they produced a preliminary mapping between CDAO and MAO (Multiple Alignment Ontology), worked out the representation of evolutionary changes ("transitions"), and hiked at Dripping Springs. |  |
