Difference between version 14 and version 1:

Line 1 was replaced by line 1
- !EOT Notes and Action Items from the December 2006 AHM
+ !!EOT Notes and Action Items from the December 2006 AHM
Lines 3-5 were replaced by lines 3-21
- __Early Career Faculty Training___
- *review [agenda|]
- *discussion on linking the training together with the same dataset used throughout the training
+ __Early Career Faculty Training Notes__
+
+
+ ''__Attendance__'' (Katz): Shawn Bowers, Dan Higgins, Samantha Katz, Bill Michener, Deana Pennington, Mark Schildhauer, Aimee Stewart, David Thau\\
+
+ Goals for this training to have users return from training and be able to:
+ **Create a scientific workflow before they start in kepler. This is something that can help organize their thought process of conducting research. This workflow could and we should then be created in kepler
+ **Use their own dataset in a pre-existing kepler workflow
+ **Create their own simple kepler workflow using r.
+ **Enter their own data using either morpho and the knb data registry and get that data into a kepler workflow -- a simple exercise that exploits
+ **Show how kepler utilizes the EcoGrid and how that functions into the importance of well structured data sets and databases -- which includes QA/QC
+ **Show how kepler utilizes the functionalities of KR SMS -- how the semantic, semantic mediation and annotation through ontologies works for them and how this is linked to well documented and well structured datasets.
+ **Show how taxonomic resolution works and how this is linked to well documented and well structured datasets.
+
+
+ Review [agenda|SEEKtraining2007syllabusonly.doc]\\
+
+ Discussion on linking the training together with the same dataset used throughout the training
+ **update presentation with the common dataset;
At line 6 added 28 lines.
+ **link Dan Higgins presentation on r with Kristin's presentation on QA/QC -- Dan will try to illustrate some of the approaches Kristin covers in her presentation -- share screenshots __Sam will send email Dan the QAQC presentation and email Kristin and Dan to facilitate__
+ **Grid activity -- provide example that illustrates the distributed execution notion and link back to Kepler and how that is executed. __Will and Mark will work on this__
+ **Will's presentation on Eml and morpho link link to Grid presentation and tie into Dan's presentation on Kepler.
+ **Visualization in Kepler (demo + exercise) -- will cover a summary of the r, image j -- raster type and photoshop -- pdfs : tables; images; time series example show them the examples in kepler imaging __Dan and Deana will work on this__
+ **Taxonomic resolution in Kepler –Stewart -- will cover GBIF; Biota; query into DIGIR and IT IS, Vegbank demo __ Sam will work with Aimee on presentation__
+ **KR SMS presentation by Shawn will close up the week by revisitng topics covered previously during the week: the importance of well documented and well structured datasets and how this is exploited through semantic mediation and ontologies. Using an exercise that illustrates problems of and solutions to data integration.
+
+ __Documentation Notes__
+
+ ''__Attendance__'' (Katz): Laura Downey, Dan Higgins, Samantha Katz, Deana Pennington, Mark Schildhauer\\
+
+ Review Getting Started Guide documentation for the release
+ **First example -- Simple Addition changed to Simple Statistics -- __needs reviewed for edits and completeness -- Need Dan to review and save as workflow for the Beta3 release.__
+ **Need to finish updating section 5.3 Director and Actor Icons with most recent icon family categories for the Beta3 release. Sam used the 3 "all-the-actors actor in workflows" directory that Matt made and went back to svg and made some adaptation to create an initial list. __Laura needs to be reviewed and make suggestion__
+ **Need to finish the screenshots in the GSG. __Need to go over the graphic designers images with Laura__
+ **Need to change the default parameter in Lotka-Volterra model for the GSG and the saved workflows
+ **Need to identify channels in the images -- ___make sure this is reflected in the document and that we adequately describe channel and this idea___.
+ **Adding director and extra r workflows? Should we just keep expanding the GSG?
+
+
+ Review actor classifications
+ **List of list SEEK actors and workflows -- __make sure these lists correspond__
+ **Review and request developer level actor documentation -- need help Dan, Ilkay and Efrat cannot be the only people reviewing __It was decided that we would only create user level documentation for those actors that: related to the SEEK project; has adequate developer documentation; or the developer was willing to work with us.__
+ **Removed the following actors from the actor documentation: File to String Converter ; Invoke server; ServerExecute, TempActor. __The list of actors will be reviewed and extended based upon a review by Dan, Samantha and Kirsten__
+ **Naming convention -- __camel case conventions__
+ **Incorporating documentation into application. __work with David Sledge on an alternative strategy to the "cut and paste method."__
+
+
At line 7 added 2 lines.
+ KR- SMS ontology
+ **What kind of documentation is needed? Why? __ask laura for appendices and one-page description__
At line 8 added 6 lines.
+ FAQ needs to be expanded to include the following
+ **__Native windows “zip” doesn’t work for Kepler__
+ **__Link to GSG__
+ **__deletion of kepler cache and note about deleting cache removes any remote components__.
+ **__Need to add a list in the GSG about the complete list of workflows that are shipped with the release__.
+ **__Need to add a note/table about workflows and the difference between the nightly build and the release__.
Removed line 10
