Development Tasks Nov 2004

Difference between version 4 and version 3:

At line 33 added 50 lines.
+
+ __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 look through MaNIS for families with lots of georeferencing data (Nov 12 or so) to help identify taxa
+ *** Pre: Jessie and Trevor will look for eco datasets to help identify taxa
+ ** Populate concepts for those taxa
+ ** Experts to help map relationships b/w concepts we get (who?)
+ ** Nico will help from Taxonomic perspective
+ ** Dave V. will help from Ecogrid perspective
+
+
+ * Need links between APIs and Ecogrid
+ ** Reindex existing datasets - ecological and specimen records, modify EML records
+ ** Query with name for concepts then datasets fro concepts
+
+ __Specific Assignments__
+ * Find experts, Mark S. will talk to Jim Richman and ?? about bat data
+ ** Nico - Identify 1-5 taxa to target (with Mark and Deana)
+ *** and identify ecological datasets, markup in EML with Taxonomic Concepts
+ ** Populate concepts for those taxa
+ ** Nico will help from Taxonomic perspective
+ ** Dave V. will help from Ecogrid perspective
+ * Identify mechanism/plan for any given scientific study
+ ** Formulate plan
+ ** Walk the experts through the concept creation steps
+ * Create TCS doc for import into SEEK Taxon cache (Nico, Jessie)
+ * historical concepts/relationships
+ * integrate functionality of TOS with Ecogrid
+ ** Incorporate TOS into current data queries
+ ** term expansion in client for now
+ ** smart searching - currently divided into 2 searches, need to integrate SMS and Taxonn searching, Shawn thinks - bring it in locally
+ ** Aggregation node vs individual providers, regularly scheduled updates
+ ** How do we annotate datasets - metadata generation
+
+ * Modify taxonomic part of EML
+ ** Can use additionalMetadata with no changes to EML tools for experimentation
+ ** Could use simple name/rank/publication composite key with/without LSID
+ ** Using only LSID might be best long-term solution
+
+ ** Maybe use controlled vocabulary (Smithsonian?)
+
+ * Modify Morpho tool which is pulling taxonomic names/info from datasets to use TOS for concept matching
+ ** Ecological datasets vs specimen datasets
+ ** 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
+
+ * Map between TCS, DarwinCore, EML (Jessie)
