| + !!What are our software development priorities? |
| + |
| + __Organize!__ |
| + * Draw dependency diagram of tasks with names (wiki) - get input from responsible parties (Aimee, Thau) |
| + * Add API calls to WIKI page next to WSDL link, update as needed (Aimee - DONE) |
| + |
| + __Finish/improve current work on TOS__ |
| + * update object model |
| + ** Pre: Decide on version of TCS to work from for now (Trevor, Aimee) |
| + * finish the parser |
| + * use Hibernate for database abstraction |
| + * make SOAP server more robust (1 week max) |
| + * Integrate LSID server (Thau, Robert, Aimee) |
| + * add MSW data, changes over time, in TCS format |
| + |
| + __New functionality for TOS__ |
| + * API's to receive and output TCS and OWL |
| + * Kepler actor? |
| + * Algorithms (Aimee, Robert, experts) |
| + |
| + __TCS work__ |
| + * Jessie will meet with Paul Kirk to discuss variation in valid name types and generate an appropriate schema with list of examples (2 weeks)(Name Work) |
| + * Map between TCS, DarwinCore, EML (Trevor) |
| + *** Pre: Name Work above |
| + |
| + __Tools: Visualization, Browsing, and Editing Tools__ |
| + * Bob, Nico and Xianhua will summarize issues on wiki (2 weeks) |
| + ** 3 timeframes (January, semi-short, long) |
| + ** look at Napier work/proposal and see if/how they can work together |
| + ** Who are the users of each tool? |
| + ** Use cases for Tools |
| + * Should we have seperate browsing/editing tools? There should be coordination between the 2 - not different displays for user to view |
| + * Tool for marking up EML datasets with concepts |
| + ** Pre: modification of EML taxonomic section |
| + ** manual/auto markup of dataset metadata |
| + * Tool for adding relationships between existing concepts |
| + ** How does current work fit in? |
| + *** Napier's (Martin) visualization tool for tree comparison - doesn't edit |
| + *** Xianhua's TaCBE tool, browsing and editing - where does this fit in? |
| + * Tool for creating new concepts |

| - ** modification of EML taxonomic section |
| - ** allow manual markup of dataset metadata |
| - ** auto markup |
| - * Napier |
| - ** tool to define mappings from other dbs to TCS |
| - *** will look at MapForce |
| + ** User Guide: Walk the experts through the concept creation steps() |
| + * Tool to define mappings from other dbs to TCS (Trevor) |
| + ** will look at MapForce |
| + |
| + __SEEK Integration Tasks__ |
| + * Find experts, Mark S. will talk to Jim Richman and ?? about bat data |
| + ** Nico - Identify 1-5 taxa to target (with Mark and Deana identifying ecological datasets and markup in EML with Taxonomic Concepts) |
| + *** Pre: Dave Thau will narrow the field by looking at MaNIS for families with lots of georeferencing data (Nov 12 or so) to help identify taxa |
| + *** Pre: Town will help narrow the field with experts |
| + ** Jessie and Trevor will look for taxonomic databases to help identify taxa |
| + ** Experts to help map relationships b/w historical concepts (who?) |
| + *** Pre: Broad guidelines first, then experts will help modify. Example driven guidelines for experts - beginning of User Guide (Nico, Trevor, Bob, Jessie) |
| + ** Create TCS doc for import of concept data into SEEK Taxon cache (Nico, Jessie) |
| + ** Dave V. will help from Ecogrid perspective |
| + |
| + * Dataset annotation (learning step) |
| + ** Test concept dataset generation (name, source) (Jessie, Trevor, Thau) |
| + ** Generate LSIDs for the concepts within (Thau) |
| + ** Annotation of EML with test concepts (Matt, Thau) |
| + ** Maybe use controlled vocabulary (Smithsonian?) |
| + |
| + * Integrate functionality of TOS with Kepler (Robert, Aimee, Thau) |
| + ** Learn Kepler |
| + ** Determine what actors to build |
| + |
| + __LONG Term__ |
| + * integrate TOS with Ecogrid |
| + ** Incorporate TOS into current data queries |
| + *** smart searching - currently divided into 2 searches, need to integrate SMS and Taxon searching |
| + ** Aggregation node vs individual providers, regularly scheduled updates |
| + |
| + * Modify taxonomic part of EML (Matt, Jessie) |
| + ** Can use additionalMetadata with no changes to EML tools for experimentation |
| + ** Could use simple name/rank/publication composite key with/without LSID |
| + *** Pre: Name Work above |
| + ** Using only LSID might be best long-term solution |
| + |
| + * Integrate dataset annotation with TOS |
| + ** Pre: SMS annotation for smart data discovery |
| + ** Pre: EML modification |
| + ** 2 types: Ecological datasets vs specimen datasets |
| + ** How do we annotate datasets - metadata generation |
| + ** Modify Morpho tool which is pulling taxonomic names/info from datasets to use TOS for concept matching |
| + ** How do we interface with ecological dataset creators that don't use Morpho? |
| + |
| + * How do we use the rich TOS result to query on DiGIR resources with sparsely populated taxonomic information? |
| + * Annotate Darwin Core records with proxy - LSIDs for specimen records and Concept LSID |
