- # Tool for viewing concepts/relationships
- # Tool for marking up EML datasets with concepts
- ** Ecological dataset functionality
- ** Specimen dataset functionality
- ** Manual markup tool
- ** Auto markup tool
- # Tool to define mappings from other dbs to TCS (mapForce?) (Trevor)

- * Mammal Use Case
- * Longer Term
+ * Tool for viewing concepts/relationships
+ * Tool for marking up EML datasets with concepts
+ ** Ecological dataset functionality
+ ** Specimen dataset functionality
+ ** Manual markup tool ("weird" taxa, loose relationships to known concepts)
+ ** Auto markup tool
+ ** Merge tool
+ * Peer review interactions
+ * Revisit Use Cases
+ * Tool to define mappings from other dbs to TCS (mapForce?) (Trevor)
+
+ !! Integration: TOS with rest of SEEK
+ ! Mammal Use Case
+ * Aquire taxonomic data
+ ** Identify 1-5 taxa to target
+ *** narrow the field by looking at MaNIS datasets (Thau – Nov 12 - DONE)
+ *** further narrow of target taxa to around 5 based on available expertise and taxonomic interest (Nico, Town, Mark, Deanna) - __bats it is! (Dec. 04)__
+ ** Identify and access mammal taxonomic databases (Jessie, Trevor)
+ ** Recruit experts to map relationships between concepts (Nico, Town) - __Dr. Kate Jones! (Feb. 05)__
+ *** create rough guidelines - example driven (Nico, Trevor, Bob, Jessie)
+ *** develop examples
+ ** Work with experts to create taxonomic concepts (Jessie, Robert K)
+ ** Encode taxonomic concepts in TCS (Jessie, Robert K)
+ ** Create TCS from mammal concept data (Nico, Jessie)
+ ** Import TCS into TOS (Aimee, Robert)
+ * Annotate datasets
+ ** Identify likely sources of taxonomic information (Thau, Jessie)
+ ** Test concept dataset generation (name, source) (Jessie, Trevor, Thau)
+ ** Generate LSIDs for concepts within (Thau)
+ ** Annotate EML with test concepts (Matt, Thau)
+ * Build Kepler actors (Robert, Aimee, Thau)
+ ** Learn Kepler
+ ** Determine actors to build (or extend existing Web Service actor)
+ *** identify candidates
+ *** consult for feasability and usefulness
+ ** Create example work flows
+
+ ! Longer Term
+ * Integrate TOS with Ecogrid (Matt, Rod, Susan)
+ ** Incorporate TOS into current data queries
+ *** Integrate SMS and Taxon searching
+ ** Aggregation node vs individual providers, regularly scheduled updates
+ * Modify taxonomic part of EML (Matt, Jessie)
+ ** Can use additionalMetadata with no changes to EML tools for experimentation
+ ** Could use simple name/rank/publication composite key with/without LSID
+ *** Prerequisites: Name Schema Work above
+ ** Using only LSID might be best long-term solution
+ * Integrate dataset annotation with TOS
+ ** Modify Morpho tool to use TOS for concept matching
+ ** How do we interface with ecological dataset creators that don't use Morpho?
+ ** Ecological and Specimen datasets
+ ** Prerequisites:
+ *** SMS annotation for smart data discovery
+ *** EML modification
+ * Evaluate text extraction from primary literature to produce concepts (Joana)
At line 57 added 6 lines.
+ * Concept language - Nico, Bob, Jessie (1 month)
+ * for Ecologists - Trevor, Bob, Nico ()
+ * General SEEK Taxon paper, where the field is going (Beach) (not begun)
+ * Quarterly Review of Biology (submitted)
+ * Concepts and GUIDs (Systematics Biology - Nico, Thau, Jessie) (3 months for internal review)
+ * Technical aspects of concepts and GUIDs (Thau and ??) (not begun)
