+ !! Monday Morning
+
+ ;Kepler Status:target user definition, no taxon specific topics at next meeting. will discuss API for Kepler to make integration easier. Look at future Kepler (non-SEEK) proposals. Bridge different ITRs. Target audience for Kepler will probably expand dramatically. Laura thinks Kepler user is domain scientist __combined__ with a programmer.
+
+ ;Kepler Actor: ENM workflow. Given a name, authority, return set of all names at specific rank below that. That list is then used to expand Digir query. Currently stubbed in - hardcodes and canned response, no TOS interaction. Just need to add 2 soap calls, then ready for ENM. Probably should have some interaction in 2 places: 1)allow to choose which concept to be root before traversing down to rank; 2) allow user to decide how to handle overlaps - selectively remove?.
+
+ ;:Similarities between Taxon and SMS. Same thing, but basically all done with database in Taxon. May Meeting - Taxon hash out decisions on our interactivity needs, then present to larger group
+
+ ;:Check with Deana about use case for Biodiversity
+
+ ;ConceptMapper Demo, React (10-12): import from __either__ TCS __or__ 3 tab delimited/csv files with specific fields.
+
+ * 11:30 SPNHC planning, ESA planning
+
+ Planning for ISEI, Dec, Santa Barbara
+
+ All hands Dec 10-15 SEEK
+
+ ;Update on projects:
+
+ !! Monday Afternoon
+
+ ;1-3.30 Taxon Tool Evaluation, Split into two rooms:
+
+ ;3.30-4.30 Summary of Taxon Visualization Evaluation: January 23 of Martin's viz tool
+ See Laura's report in cvs at:
+ Ecologists much more positive. Collection managers might benefit more from small plugin to Specify instead. Both groups really wanted some geographic functions integrated.
+
+ ;GUIDS:What gets a guid? Specimens - should go on biological object, not multiple treatments, preparations, etc. Possibly versions for different collection objects connected to same biological object.
+
+ ;Kepler:
+
+ ;EML Revisions:
+
+ ;Rob’s stub actor:
+
+ ;Morpho:
+
+ ;Review of Project Integration:
+
+ !! Tuesday morning
+
+ ;GUIDS: See Jessie's powerpoint
+
+ ;Kepler: After stable, Taxon group play with Taxon actor. Non-interactive version.
+
+ ;Remaining Issues: ESA (August 7-11) - will probably do something for booth
