Status Report 08 June 2004

Difference between version 23 and version 12:

Line 8 was replaced by lines 8-10
- * EOT working on upcoming RCN and KNB Metadata Tools training sessions
+ ** Presenting Kepler demo paper at SSDBM in Greece
+ * EOT working on
+ ** Upcoming RCN and KNB Metadata Tools training sessions
At line 9 added 3 lines.
+ *** Prototype can be reviewed [http://lternet-227.lternet.edu:8080/seekwiki/]
+ *** Will eventually replace the current SEEK website at http://seek.ecoinformatics.org/
+ * Taxon group focusing on LSID and user management issues and finishing the name server prototype
Line 87 was replaced by line 92
- * Evaluated the schema and architecture of Ontology Server developed by STAR Lab (http://www.starlab.vub.ac.be/research/dogma/OntologyServer.htm) and discussed it with SEEK SDSC team in a UCSD SEEK meeting. Exchanged ideas with SEEK and GEON researchers about establishing ontology registry, search for ontology (what does this mean) and issues about future usage of ontology registry.

+ !!Xianhua Liu
+
+ Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed:
+ * Revised National Vegetation Classification Revision System (NVCRS)
+ ** Revised nvcrs database structure
+ ** Revised the first jsp pages for all 3 roles: author, peer-viewer and manager
+ ** Implemented uploading function for supporting documents.
+
+
+ Current Work and Bugs:
+ * Designing and developing Auto-Manager for nvcrs to automatically complete some system administration tasks, such as sending emails,assigning proposals to peer-viewers.
+
+ Significant Issues
+ * None
+
+ !! Jing Tao
+
+ Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed:
+ * Attended the Kepler meeting in Santa Barbara and identify the tasks/bugs for next couple months.
+
+ Current Work and Bugs:
+ * Bug 1584(loading data into relation db) and 1586 (Data query engine
+ implementation in Kepler)
+ ** Design for those bugs(Collaboration diagram and class diagram design).
+ ** Try to install and paly with SAS which is a candidate SQL engine for data query.
+
+ Significant Issues
+ * SAS is complicated and probably the learning curve is high.
+ * Need to identify which SQL engine we should use to loading data. Some criteria about this engine
+ ** Ease to install it in both Windows and Linux
+ ** DDL is simple
+ ** Good performance
+
+ !! Chad Berkley
+
+ Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed
+ * researched ontology integration for kepler (bug 1591)
+ * worked on bug 1579 with dan
+ * helped debug the mac issues in kepler
+ * attended the 2 day kepler meeting
+
+ Current Work and Bugs
+ * Working on getting ready for SSDBM. Mostly working on poster.
+
+ Significant Issues
+ * Need to have conf. call with matt and shawn about sparrow/ontology issues in kepler. we decided to hold the call after my return from greece
+
+ !! Dave Thau
+
+ Completed tasks/bugs fixed
+
+ * Created and vetted initial basic feature set for Taxon LSID server
+
+ Current Work and Bugs
+
+ * Working on bug #1597 - the intial user management for the taxon server.
+ * Getting current taxon server to work on my local box for testing purposes
+
+ Significant issues
+
+ Is there any centralization of user management across SEEK, or any
+ standard information about users we want to maintain? Should I use LDAP,
+ or something like that, or just maintain taxon server specific user
+ information. Seems like the latter is fine - people contributing
+ taxonomic concepts may not care about the rest of SEEK, so shouldn't
+ necessarily be burdened by a SEEK-wide user management system. However,
+ it'd be good to collect and name contact information similarly across
+ SEEK. I'm going to start with the sorts of contact information used in
+ the Darwin Core.
