AHM 2004 Meeting Notes

Technical needs discussion:

Mammal project

1. Data
• DiGIR data source for occurrence data
• matches; mammals: Anderson, Martinez
• other species occurrence data sources
• Mammal name resolution needed: TAXON integration task list
• IPCC: needs EML for future scenarios (Deana); resolve SRB read problem (Deana/Raja/Dan)
• Hydro1k: needs EML (Jianting); resolve SRB read problem (Deana/Raja/Dan)
• Access to David Stockwell's database
• EcoGrid access to data via query; grid registry interface
• Local file read
2. Actors
3. Integrated/separated workflows
4. Documentation
• Actor metadata
• Talk about GARP I/O documentation. We need to come up with a comprehensive set of documentation for the GARP pipeline.
• Derivied data metadata
• Workflow metadata
5. Compute resources
• Parallel processing plans

Dec BEAM/ENM meeting

1. Agenda
2. Tech support

Tasks

1. bug 1722-change/check formats of output digr data (Rod)
2. Get list of unique DIGR names to Town to circulate (Deana)
3. name resolution databases (Dave V.)
4. lat/long repatriation (Town)
5. paleoclimate data (Deana/Town)
6. actor for converting climate data to grids (Dan)
7. if network is unavailable, ensure data is available through caching (Jing/Rod)
8. if possible, support more gis formats for input---lowest priority (Dan)
9. bring other data in ascii raster (Deana)
10. wrap gdal for file transformations bug #1727 (Chad, Ricardo, Dave V.)
11. bug 1728 climate change data is lower priority than present data/full run
12. Create mask: input is output from convex hull and either a) default bounding Area Of Interest or b) input AOI
13. Insert create mask after clip
14. test convex hull actor (Deana/Chad)
15. clipping occurs withing the layer integration/resampling actor
16. Regridding actor, output ascii raster, GDAL: (Chad)
17. create kepler-users (Matt)
