All Hands Meeting 2005

Difference between version 64 and version 63:

Line 67 was replaced by line 67
- ** [Kepler breakout| AllHandsMeeting2005KeplerAgenda]
+ ** 8:30 Joint Session
Line 69 was replaced by lines 69-89
- ** Taxon Breakout
+ ** 9:30 [Kepler breakout| AllHandsMeeting2005KeplerAgenda]
+
+ ** 9:30 Taxon Breakout
+
+ *** Kepler-Taxon work flow discussion including Higgins, Pennington, integration of DiGIR and Kepler in use case work flow, responsibilities, where is the user interaction? TOS Actor-how would it be used in workflows? What are the usage scenarios for TOS within Kepler? How else might the TOS be embedded in Kepler?
+
+ **** High-level Taxon-Kepler Interaction Design and Engineering Issues with Dan Higgins
+
+ ***** The 'selection problem' How do users *find* and then *select* the focal concept for searching, parameterizing an actor, with the concept one wants to work with. 1st generation, little interactivity, fill in a Kepler parameter file.
+
+ Wrap Robs current work flow into a custom actor, interactivity would come later, and maybe then passing parameter files to the actor from an application outside of GARP.
+
+
+ ***** Problem with names being mapped to more than once concept for GARP work flow
+
+ ***** Merging data sets with concepts that overlap, how do we integrate them once they come back
+
+ ***** Looping issue in GARP usecase workflow: going through list of concepts to find synonyms to identify overlaps (names with 2 or more concepts), Gales & Jones, Action: make a custom TOS actor instead of modifying web services actor (which came from GEON)
+
+ ***** SEEK-Taxon would like to see more possibility for an interactive UI within Kepler for TOS query and selection tasks. Alternative is to stop, restart and repeat short workflows as the 'interactivity'

- *** Concept merging tool, and how to identify concepts that match user's query concept 'expectation', (e.g. query TOS, return concepts to Kepler, do a EcoGrid query). How to build a UI that is meaningful to users for such tasks.
+ *** SEEK Use Case #2 need a taxon concept merging tool. SMS is working on merging other types of parameters across site data sets. (Get a list of species from LTER data sets, assume they are in EML, input to TOS [GetBestConcept], output unique list of merged names,
+
+ *** Must mark up taxon names as concepts with GUIDs in the EML data sets first, GUIDs would be the concept IDs. Need a tool to do that, Morpho is the likely app. If no GUID in the data set, a call to TOS could match on data set taxon name and a taxon reference. Kepler work flow scenario:
