• Introductions - A time to introduce yourself and your project to the group. For example you might talk about the special biology of your organism, particular biological phenomenon that make GO annotation challenging, the project and its staff where you work, etc. The idea is to provide more than just an introduction - rather give you time to share more about yourself, your project or model system. Perhaps more important than the specific details of annotation that you may learn here, are the contacts with other people creating and making GO, which will help you maintain the use of GO in your project and will help GO maintain consistent usage across many projects. These will be spread across the four days of the camp, but everyone will get a chance.

• Presentations - There will be a few presentations on specific topics, such as how the Gene Ontologies are maintained and changed, the use of evidence codes, computational methods of annotation, and submission of gene_association files. These talks are intended to stimulate discussion and questions are encouraged. The specifics on the presentations for each day are below.

• Working Sessions - These are times to work in small groups on specific research papers. We imagine there will be spontaneous discussions occurring during these working sessions as issues and questions arise.

• Group Discussion - These are times when the whole group comes back together and discusses issues and questions that arose in the small groups during the Working Sessions.
