| + Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed: |
| + * None, really. |
| + |
| + Current Work and Bugs: |
| + * Since SEEK Edinburgh, has been writing on a substantial manuscript (with R. Peet as co-author) for the journal Taxon, which deals with concepts and relationships among them. |
| + * The manuscript is about half-way completed; will take another 2-4 weeks to be ready for internal review. |
| + * This work is seen as a precursor to the GUID development, i.e. it's trying to answer the question when/what (something) should get a GUID. |
| + |
| + Significant Issues |
| + * There's been a bit of a quiet in SEEK Taxon after the Edinburgh meetings, but apparently that just ended today, with KU sending out an update/request. |
| + * As the TDWG New Zealand planning is moving ahead, would like to make sure that the concept/relation paper is part of our SEEK Taxon presentation package there. |
| + |
| + !! Deana Pennington |
| + Completed tasks/bugs fixed |
| + * completed specs for IPCC climate data processing as kepler design workflow and accompanying document |
| + * completed specs for sampling actor |
| + * sent notes on Kepler (user feedback) to Rod |
| + * sent GARP output schema to Shawn |
| + |
| + Current Work and Bugs |
| + * planning for new BEAM working group on diversity/productivity |
| + * getting all relevant data for ecological niche modeling project into the SRB |
| + * thinking about user interface design and testing approaches |
| + |
| + Significant issues |
| + * will have to create EML for all of the IPCC data |
| + * need a decision on the useability engineer slot (LOTS of discussion on the lists about the UI & testing) |
| + |

| + !! Jenny Wang |
| + |
| + Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed: |
| + * Analyzed our schema matching tool user interface design |
| + * Fixed one of the bugs for improving its UI: the windows for 2 schema trees were changed to be individually scrollable in order to be able to visually handle the mappings between very large schemas |
| + |
| + Current Work and Bugs: |
| + * Work on 2 paper drafts |
| + * Fix more bugs of the tool: |
| + ** make details of nodes accessible from the GUI, |
| + ** look for solutions for the conflicted requirements on java version from running multiple threads on windows and the XQuery engine with Kepler. |
| + |
| + Significant Issues |
| + * The second bug is related to making easier connection of our tool with Kepler. |
| + |
| + !! Dave Thau |
| + |
| + Completed tasks/bugs fixed |
| + * Got local version of the taxon server set up in my IDE and running on my home machine. |
| + |
| + Current Work and Bugs |
| + * Working on bug #1597 - the intial user management for the taxon server. Wrote initial tests and some of the code for logging in / logging out and editing user information. Probably will finish this part by Wednesday. |
| + * Working on paper with Shawn Bowers for the Semantic Web and Databases conference. |
| + |
| + Significant issues |
| + * None. |
| + |
| + !! Shawn Bowers |
| + Completed tasks/bugs fixed |
| + * Worked mainly on Bug 1592 "describe Sparrow toolkit interface". In particular, defined a preliminary draft of a Java API for accessing ontological information via Sparrow to support Bug 1546 "dynamic data and actor views using ontologies". I also defined a simple extension to the API (set of derived classes) for Bug 1546, which would take a single concept from an ontology and return a tree-structure representing the appropriate Kepler tree-view for browsing (that is, the result is a data structure that could be used to populate a tree-view, however that would work). Still need to add to the API to fully support bug 1546, since it requires access to information about actors.I'll "release" a stable version of the APIs soon, as Javadocs and UML diagrams. Want to prototype it first. |
| + * Worked on a paper with Dave Thau and Rich Williams to describe the Ant Parasitism SMS prototype. It is due on the 21st. |
| + |
| + Current Work and Bugs |
| + * Need to start working on implementing the API, which means writing the java code and connecting it to the Sparrow code (this work is situated in bug 1592 and 1546). |
| + * Extend API (see 1 above). |
| + * Need to finish writing the paper |
| + * Need to prepare slides for SSDBM paper -- I leave Friday. |
| + |
| + Significant issues |
| + * none |
| + |
| + !! Robert Gales |
| + |
| + Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed: |
| + * Split the taxonomic object service into two interfaces, ITOSQueryable for handling queries to the Taxon cache and ITOSModifiable for adding information to the Taxon cache |
| + * Created a facade object CTOSFacade that implements both interfaces and exposes the taxonomic object service through SOAP. |
| + * Moved the previous CMainTOS to CTOSQueryEngine implementing the ITOSQueryable interface and created the stub class CTOSModEngine implementing the ITOSModifiable interface. |
| + * Implemented the CDetailedName class for handling the complex atomized names |
| + * Moved all classes that are parts of a concept from the tree package to the concept package. |
| + |
| + Current Work and Bugs |
| + * Bug 1577 - Implement AddRelationship |
| + * Bug 1603 - Implement AddConcept |
| + * Bug 1604 - Convert ITIS database dump to TES |
| + |
| + Significant Issues: |
| + * None |
