- **Show how kepler utilizes the EcoGrid and how that functions into the importance of well structured data sets and databases -- which included QA/QC
- **KR--SMS should show the functionalities that allow kepler to work -- showing the semantic, semantic annotation and ontologies and how that works for them.

+ **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.

- *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 adaptations)
- **Laura needs to be reviewed and make suggestion
- *Need to finish the screenshots in the GSG.Working with Monica from UCSB people on creating screenshots. Will work with Monica on making sure the GSG images are the same as the Kepler interface -- go over images with Laura

- *Review actor classifications
- **List of list SEEK actors and workflows -- corresponds
- **Review and request developer level actor documentation -- need help Dan, Ilkay and Efrat cannot be the only people reviewing
- **Removed the following actors from the actor documentation: File to String Converter ; Invoke server; ServerExecute, TempActor;
- **Naming convention -- camel case conventions
- **Incorporating documentation into application -- working with Chad on the strategy mentioned below
-  Strategy: Use the Actor right-click menu to update the individual documentation screens (i.e., update the actor's MOML files). Use HTML <p>, <i>, and <tt> tags to preserve formatting. Save the updated actor files as KAR file and then overwrite the existing files in the /Kepler/src/actors directory in CVS.
-  In the current system, the application will display the Java doc, unless there is doc info in the corresponding MOML file, which will override the Java doc. The system also examines the class and displays that name. An example of an actor with a MOML doc is the Scatterplot actor.
-  Documentation about ports and parameters should only be pasted into the actor if it differs from its base class. Will this work? Now that I'm writing this up, I'm a bit confused. We're updating the MOML file, right? Will the class MOML file overwrite a child's Java docs?
