| - Bob wants to invite Alan Wheatley - doing Flora of North Carolina - to the May meeting. He has already done this type of work. If we invite him, should it be to the pre-meeting in Denver with Laura, or Wed, May 4, following the Estes Park meeting? |

| + (The following reflects edits made by Bob after consultation with Aimee.) |
| + Bob wants to invite UNC Herbarium Curator Alan Weakley - author of the "Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia" draft - to the May meeting because he is already treating taxonomic information as concepts and providing relationships among concepts. In short, he represents our still almost nonexistent active user community. You can learn more about Weakley's 875 pp. volume of plant concepts at [http://www.herbarium.unc.edu/flora.htm] The fulltext of the 90% that is complete is available at [http://herbarium.unc.edu/WeakleysFlora.pdf] |

| + An example of his current annotation is: "Ranunculus arvensis Linnaeus, Corn Crowfoot, Hungerweed. Pd (GA, NC, SC), Mt (NC): fields, disturbed areas; rare, introduced from Europe. April-June. = RAB, C, FNA, G, GW, K, X, Y; > R. arvensis var. arvensis – RAB; > R. arvensis var. tuberculatus (Augustin de Candolle) Koch - RAB" (where RAB, FNA, X, Y...are previous treatments). |

| + In short, Weakly is already using SEEK Taxon's terminology (=, <, >) for expressing concept relationships. |
| + |
| + Bob and Aimee propose that Alan present early on Monday before hearing our deliberations, that he then listen to our deliberations, and then meet with at least Jessie, Nico, Bob and Xianhua on Wednesday morning to consider design issues for tools that persons mapping concepts and their relationships might need. Specifically, this would apply to tools 2, 3, and 5 on our list [http://seek.ecoinformatics.org/Wiki.jsp?page=SeekTaxonTools]. Weakley would need to depart by 1 to catch a flight back to NC that day. |
