| + Current tasks / bugs |
| + * Completed draft of paper on Abstract Model And Exchange Schema for Taxonomic Concepts |
| + ** sent to some members of seek taxon for comments and information |
| + * Started work on second paper focussing on the imortance and benefits of using Taxon concepts for ecologists |
| + ** probably ready to send this out to possible coauthors next week |

| + * Editing function of TCBE |
| + |
| + |
| + !!Aimee Stewart |
| + |
| + Completed tasks / bugs fixed |
| + * Finished propogating data model changes throughout the code to handle returning either fully defined concepts (with relationships) or incompletely defined concepts (bug 1647). |
| + ** This included defining 2 new relationship classes, and abandoning some unnecessary classes (bug 1677). |
| + * Modified the CConcept class to more closely align it with the Taxonomic Information Exchange Schema (version 0.8). Propogated changes throughout code. |
| + ** Algorithms were modified to test equality of new members. |
| + * Minor refactoring was done to simplify the CConcept-related objects. |
| + |
| + Current tasks / bugs |
| + * Tests for algorithms must be modified to match the new CConcept members |
| + * The parser for enterProviderData has been modified to handle the newest version of the schema. This schema should be relatively stable, so no additional changes are yet planned. The parser is not completed, but at this point, all tests run successfully. |
| + * Run XSLT transformer provided by Dave Thau |
| + ** Must be modified to produce data for the newest schema version |
| + ** Add resulting data to database using enterProviderData API |
