Status Report 19 July 2004

Difference between version 15 and version 9:

Line 3 was replaced by lines 3-6
- ! 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?

+ * 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).
+
At line 153 added 14 lines.
+ !! Rod Spears
+
+ Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed:
