+ !!! Overview
+ This meeting is for the full development group and other related individulas from the SEEK project to focus on design and implementation. There will be no overview, as participants are assumed to be fully familiar with the project. The SEEK developers will meet to discuss 1) design and implementation of semantically-aware services within Kepler, and 2) design and implementation of the SEEK taxon name and concept services. These two groups will meet in parallel sessions. The SMS/KR/Kepler focus is largely centered around the proposed functionality that we wrote up in our SSDBM 2005 submission. Please read that and other SMS background papers before the meeting.
