Difference between version 21 and version 13:

Line 2 was replaced by lines 2-3
- [Notes from KU Group May-Sept 2005 work | KUTaxonUpdate_Sept2005]

+ [Notes from Napier Group May-Sept 2005 work | NUTaxonUpdate_Sept2005]
Line 7 was replaced by lines 8-9
- * Laura will ...
+ * Laura will put together a short list of usability topics to discuss and plan for (at the upcoming San Diego AHM) over the next 6 months to a year.
+ * Nico and Bob will put together a document on merging additional taxonomic determination data into EML
At line 14 added 1 line.
+ * Usability plans
Line 20 was replaced by line 23
- *
+ * Jessie - E-Science Research ??? Leaders - exploring diverse scientific interests
At line 23 added 10 lines.
+
+ !! Further updates from UNC/NCEAS members
+ * Nico reported on Cardiff New Taxonomy (manuscript now ready for submission) and NYC Primate Workshop meetings
+ * Update on Taxon publications: Nico will now concentrate of concept relationships paper; Bob will take on paper for ecologists (use concepts instead of names); two other manuscripts (Taxon overview for TREE/concept stability) have been outlined. There is an opportunity for the concept stability paper to be published in Systematic Biology.
+ * Xianhua's emerging ConceptMapper tool should be presented and evaluated in some depth at San Diego.
+ * We need to make progress towards connecting the ConceptMapper tool to the TOS.
+ * In San Diego we should tackle and near-finalize the Taxon update of EML (see above; Nico and Bob will prepare a draft beforehand).
+ * We need a related tool for ecologists marking up a dataset with concepts in Morpho, etc.
+ * Planning and prioritization: we need to dedicate a session at San Diego to outlining a complete workflow involving concept application including concept mapping, concept markup, the Kepler interface (and whatever related steps and services are needed), and various roles and responsibilities in a SEEK-enabled world. How are the tools meant to interact to provide the desired services for taxonomists and ecologist users? This step is necessary at this point to assure we build all the necessary user administrative functions for a prototype system to function.
