Welcome to the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology (HAO) Wiki. This site is intended as a forum for hymenopterist community and anyone else(!) to use in discussing various aspects of this massive undertaking - The HAO - mainly, how to organize ourselves and how to partition the responsibilities, but also to continue our dialog concerning the finer details of ontology development, testing, and use.
Registered users can add and modify content on this wiki. Just follow the link above to get a username and password. Then follow the 'help' link on the left for a how-to guide to MediaWiki. In the meantime, follow the links below to learn more about the HAO project. Click the logo in the upper left anytime to get back to this page. Also, pay attention to the 'discussion' tab at the top of every page - that's where comments for a particular page are generally posted.

(30.vi.2009) The URL and eventual home of the HAO will be hymao.org The API/Web services etc. will be delivered through this URL, but it currently redirects back to the wiki.
(29.vi.2009) HAO Project is now on Twitter. Follow us here - http://twitter.com/hao_project.
(16.iv.2009) NSF proposal now available. Let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.
(10.iv.2009) HAO is funded. We received funding through NSF's Advances in Biological Informatics program: $1.4 million over 3 years (DBI 0850223).
(18.vii.2008) Migrated the wiki to a new site. You've found it.
(7.vi.2008) The five-a-day initiative: We're hoping to rope our fellow hymenopterists into the joining us in our plan to execute 5 ontological actions a day. These actions include: create/edit a relationship, create/edit a term, figure a term, tag a term, etc.
(1.iii.2008) The Hymenoptera glossary proofing tool is now available here page, which one can use to evaluate descriptions, etc. This tool is particularly useful in highlighting (by lack of highlight!) which terms remain absent from the glossary. Be sure to read the caveats before employing.
