All Hands Meeting 2006 Notes

Difference between version 12 and version 5:

Line 9 was replaced by lines 9-10
- # Clarify a vision of how SEEK-Taxon could collaborate with other projects with taxon concept data
+ # Assess status and review current activities, since last teleconference.

- # Understand the issues of long-term maintenance of SEEK Taxon products, Data resources, TOS, software tools

Line 49 was replaced by line 50
- ** Jessie, need a strong significance statement of dealing with concepts and not with names, e.g. the slide of lumping and splitting the consequences of misinterpreting name lists. Changes in name over time can create errors for analysis that are artifacts of the choice of names and concepts used.

- ** Say why this problem is important. In ecology you tend to look at data sets over a period of time, or over different geographical areas, and both dimensions introduce different names and concepts. Integrative and synthetic activities need to respect these changes and disambiguate the labels. Analyzing data through time and space.

- * And ...
+ * Discussion about the need for sample data to be able to show end-to-end connectivity and workflow with concepts.
+ ** Bob, Alan Weakly has 6500 taxa, 8 classifications; just having two classfications (MSW) with just names is likely not enough, we need comprehensive data sets with many characters, over time.
+ ** Bob, we have all of data for the classifications for Juglandaceae (trees). Also have complete Ranunculus data, with full concept information. Bob committed to producing some data for the TOS by about the end of June.
+ ** Discussion of bat data, bat people, value in finding some bat survey and observation data sets that could be marked up.
+ ** Jim offered to pursue some bat leads. Talk to Bob Timm (KU), Don Wilson (USNM), MSW bat treatment author, possibly Texas Tech lab.
+ ** Dave, what about searching EML data sets for taxonomic names? Aimmee-did that, not much there.
+ ** Rich Pyle once offered (we think) angel fish concept, data, we could check to see if that is still on the table.
+ ** Dave Thau, someone mused, likely also has ant data concepts from the Ant web project.
