| - * Cleanup tasks for Robert/Aimee |
| - * Xianhua will look into scraping websites for data - Susan will send some generic code |

| Lines 27-28 were replaced by lines 24-25 |
| - !! Misc Discussion |
| - * Only one concept for a group of similar concepts with different forms of author string, etc, should have an LSID. Algorithms should resolve concepts to longest form. |
| + Application software development work on the four identified priority functions will proceed based on the findings of the usability analysis led by Laura Downey culiminating in a task analysis with Kate Jones in April. The results of the analysis will be presented at the May meeting in Estes Park, where prototype design will be discussed and software development objectives will be formulated. April 26/27 meeting will produce user interface requirements, then need scoping from developers |

| + * Laura Downey will: |
| + ** advise on the materials needed for the April 26 meeting with Kate Jones to undertake a task analysis of her taxonomic concept management practices. |
| Line 33 was replaced by lines 32-39 |
| - !!Other proposed topics |
| + * Aimee/Robert will: |
| + ** work on fixing the link from the LSID server to the TOS. |
| + ** finish installation of Hibernate to map data objects to relational database design for the TOS, |
| + ** will work on getting more data into the system as data is provided to them from Nico and Xinhua. |
| + ** Aimee will attend the SMS meeting in Davis as an advance party to divine the potential interaction between the Taxon and SMS working groups. Aimee and Rob's recent phone call with Shawn at UC Davis, concluded that SMS viewed Taxon as just another Ecogrid service for concept resolution, and that the SEEK-Taxon database approach would handle the queries and operations that a Kepler Actor would seek to execute. |
| + ** Send out links to TOS demo soon, when all working together |
| + ** Open dialogs with SMS (include Matt)in preparation for the May meeting with them. |
| + ** Rob will work with Xquark to make mappings between xml schemas and relational databases, so that xml documents can be put in without parsing. He will try to get that promising technology to work for one week, then move on. |
