| - ! Collecting reports -- will summarize tomorrow |
| + * Kepler group |
| + ** Design of user interface, including new browsing interfaces for left panels and new interface for configuring a data query (see [actor*.jpg screenshots|http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/kepler-docs/dev/screenshots/] and [Query builder|http://129.237.201.166:8080/ogsa/qb/QueryBuilder.html]) |
| + ** Significant contention on how this design process should proceed. Some people are arguing that our design and development process needs to be much more formal, and that it needs to start from ground zero, making no asssumptions about how users should work with the software (i.e., do not take Kepler as a basis for design). |
| + ** New biodiversity actors available in Kepler |
| Line 6 was replaced by lines 9-11 |
| - * Kepler group |
| + ** Continued work on Growl ontology editor. Need to assess how this will be integrated with other applications like Kepler, and whether it is targeted correctly for our users. |
| + ** Continued work on schema matching tool. Need to assess how this will be integrated with other tools -- can it play a role in the Kepler software? |
| + |
| At line 7 added 1 line. |
| + ** Started considering the write (put) interface for EcoGrid |
| At line 8 added 4 lines. |
| + * Taxon group |
| + ** Franz and Peet manuscript available for review |
| + ** Question: have the issues surrounding use of GUID on relationships been resolved? |

| At line 63 added 120 lines. |

| + Current Work and Bugs: |
| + * Installing metacat ecogrid semi-production node in NCEAS |
| + * Implementaion of data query in kepler. |

| + !! Jenny Wang |
| + |
| + Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed: |
| + * Developed a translator that imports XML Schemas into the schema matching tool as Abstract Schemas. But the "Sequence" case in is not handled in an appropriate way yet. Also it may require changes to the abstract schema interface when going further on the design and implementation of schema morphisms. |
| + * Modified the GUI to include an arrow panel for indicating where it is working on. |
| + |
| + Current Work and Bugs: |
| + * Work on 2 paper drafts |
| + * Fix more bugs of the tool: |
| + ** polish the arrow panel for indicating where it is working on in the GUI: adjustable as GUI changes, etc. |
| + ** correctly handle union types of matches identified during matching process. |
| + ** consistently highlight where user attention is needed. |
| + * Implement abstract schemas and abstract schema morphisms to make the tool more general: focus on designing a schema morphism interface and implementing it. |
| + |
| + Significant Issues: |
| + * To include the path context in types emerges as a problem when designing and implementing schema morphism interface. This may require significant change to the abstract schema definition and its interface. |

| + Current work and Bugs |

| + * Helped with critique of Kepler UI for ontology-based browsing and Query UI |
| + * Working on patch release of EML (2.0.1) |
| + * Working on demo of Kepler for meeting next week |
| + * Helped configure new Ecogrid production server |
| + |
| + Significant issues |
| + * Contention about how to design the UI is becoming an issue. Some people are arguing that our design and development process needs to be much more formal, and that it needs to start from ground zero, making no asssumptions about how users should work with the software (i.e., do not take Kepler as a basis for design). |

| + Current Work and Bugs: |
| + * re-read the design document of Ecogrid's put API. |
| + * working on the gwsdl for Ecogfrid's put operation. |
| + |
| + Significant Issues: |
| + * I am not sure if I need to continue my data integration work for Niche Modeling data. I uploaded Niche Modeling data into SRB and created a SRB version of pgm_cut which works very well. Unfortunately there are different opinions about moving the approach into ecogrid level. I personally think it is worth thinking as how we split workloads to server side and client side (especially Kepler actors). |

| + !! Robert Kukla |
| + |
| + Completed tasks/bugs fixed |
| + * structured feedback from meeting and tried to pinpoint critical issues |
| + * visited IPNI people in London and analysed results of meeting |
| + * engaged in discussion about schema issues Gregor, Donald (publications, names) |
| + * set up TDWG wiki page to facilitate discussion |
| + * added new elements to schema/restructured it in answer to comments at meeting; this created several possible versions which are still under discussion: |
| + ** ways to facilitate storage of name info that does not pertain to concepts |
| + ** options for different publication schemas |
| + ** store versions/different views |
| + * introduced abstract types to schema (e.g. for Names/TaxonEntities) |
| + * investigate use of namespace for unified schema |
