- Reports are being submitted and will be summarized on Tuesday.
- If you just submitted a report, it will be at the bottom of this page.
+ * EcoGrid group
+ ** Working on EcoGrid web interface
+ ** EcoGrid 'write' interface partially completed for SRB and Metacat, will be used for archiving Kepler products back on the EcoGrid
+
+ * KR/SMS group
+ ** Incorporating ontology-based searching into Kepler
+ ** Highlighted need for some domain ontologies to test with, probably for biodiversity case study
+ ** Need for unique IDs for data sets, actors, services, etc -- is this EcoGrid responsibility?
+ ** Continued work on Growl interface
+
+ * Taxon group
+ ** Continued work on taxon exchange schema
+ ** LSID server being brought online
+ *** Should this LSID server serve all of seek, or just taxon?
+ ** Created ontologies(object models) of VegBank and TCS in OWL using Protege
+
+ * Kepler group
+ ** New search capability for actors
+ ** Alpha2 release a few weeks ago, along with a CD that was created for distribution at SDSC
+ ** Data query (Query By Example) interface partially integrated into Kepler
+ ** Working for Oct15 as freeze date for new Kepler features, release shortly after testing

- * A
+ * SeekWikiWebApp version SEEK_WEB_2_0_4 - development completed
+ ** includes new InsertPagePlugin
+ ** includes new build.xml file for Ant
Lines 30-31 were replaced by lines 56-59
- * B
- ** B1
+ * Web Interface for Ecogrid Query
+ ** have working prototype input form with validation and related bean with Struts
+ ** work with Duane and Mark to get this working with Metacat via Pathquery (handling query building and displaying results)
+ ** work on getting getting a ecogrid query version (EcoGridQueryLevelOne instead pathquery)
Line 34 was replaced by line 62

+ **
+ * Updating TDWG discussion WIKI on proposed draft standard exchange schema
+ **
+ * Addressing design issues with exchange schema as they arise from SEEK/KU and TDWG community
+
+
+ !!Shawn Bowers
+
+ Current tasks / bugs
+ * Finishing up a simple ontology/keyword actor/data search for Kepler. Most of the code is done/working. Just need to fit it into what Chad has done. I am using Jena, so I need to work a bit on getting it to go faster as well (Jena appears to be very slow for even simple reasoning tasks).
+ * Finished up preliminary design for a comprehensive annotation tool. Want to write some code as a quick prototype, and try to get Rich and Dave something they can work/play with.
+ * Working on hybrid-type theory.
Line 43 was replaced by lines 83-106
- * B
+ * We still need a mechanism to assign ids to datasets, actors, and workflows. Who is working on this_ Shouldn't this be EcoGrid's job (i.e., assigning/maintaining ids)_ Are actors going to be stored on EcoGrid_
+
+
+ !!Rich Williams
+
+ Current tasks / bugs
+ * Enhancing the GrOWL user interface
+ **
+ * Bug fixes in the GrOWL OWL rendering code
+
+
+ !!Liu Xianhua
+
+ Completed tasks / bugs fixed
+ * Created ontologies(object models) of VegBank and TCS in OWL using Protege
+ * Loading model from OWL file
+ * Nested panels to show and edit taxonomic data according to specific taxonomic data models
+
+ Current tasks / bugs
+ * Developing data proxy for TCS data
+ ** For test purpose, designing and implementing a database for TCS data
+ ** Developing a proxy that transfers data back and forth in the format defined by TCS model.
