| - * JK: need a strong illustration |
| - |
| + * JK: need a strong illustration of usefulness of our concept approach - for that we need a lot more data |
| + * Need specifics of promise of improved world for the taxonomists, etc |
| + * to serve the ecologists (and other end users) well, we need the data and buy-in from the taxonomists |
| + * need a good case study with experts from diff communities |
| + * Ed Wiley: Need tool that allows taxonomists to enter their research, then clandestinely allows ecologists to find current nomenclature and synonyms. Trick is to add geographic information to concepts, querying ability. |
| + |
| + Jim: risk in assumptions of critical problems to be solved - need serious use case analysis |
| + * problem may be more that organism doesn't have good name |
| + * is the concept even a first line of attack? |
| + * JK: SEEK looking at bigger problems - time, geographical range, etc, not daily annoyances |
| + |
| + Susan: 3-6 months to solve NA mammals problem, then on to more challenging problem that involves changing names, concepts over time, geography |
| + * get some synergy between NSF projects |
| + * catfish - lots of undescribed species, mostly in SA, good for us - provide tools for new discoveries |
| + |
| + NA Mammal data taxon priorities |
| + * Smithsonian MSW data - must find out how to interpret it |
| + * Want to automate specimen data markup with algorithms, then have taxonomist check data |
| + * put lots of data into Taxon cache |
| + * expand matching algorithms |
| + * plug into Ecogrid |
| + |
| + Criteria |
| + * follow changes over time |
| + * authoritative sources point to concepts |
| + * Ed can provide checklists (American Fishery Society) with changes over time (every 10 years) - we would need to link changes |
| + * Bob - plants - checklists |

| + __Miscellaneous notes from thau__ |
| + |
| + information in versioning systems have: |
| + *public versions |
| + *private versions |
| + *working versions |
| + |
| + might be nice to incorporate this notion into the lsid server |
| + |
| + questions that come up when looking at browser tools |
| + |
| + * who are the users? |
| + * what visual representions do the users want? tree, graph, touch-graph? |
| + * what work are we trying to make more efficient and how is that work done? |
| + * what is the relationship between the visualization and editing tool? |
| At line 30 added 1 line. |
| + note from jessie on point 2 - we found that taxonomists like trees, even though the underlying data model is a graph I published on this |
