- * Ed: Need tool that allows taxonomists to enter their research, then clandestinly allows ecologists to find current nomenclature and synonyms
+ * 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.
At line 29 added 10 lines.
+ 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
