- Guest from NatureServe (Gwynn ...)
- Mike Frame from USGS
- Liz Blood from NSF (not here yet ...)
- NCSA ...
- New Folks
- Laura Downey (unm, usability engineer)
- Jianting Zhang (postdoc, unm)
- Steve Teckell (seek web-developer)
- Mark Serilla (LTER, network information system)
- 9:00 - 12:30
- Overviews, etc.
- Matt Jones
- Kepler
- Goal is to: create powerful analytical tools that is useful across disciplines; ecology, biology, engineering, geology, physics, ...
- Model the way scientists work w/ their data now: mentally coordinate export and import of data among software systems
- Workflows emphasize data flow
- metadata-driven data ingestion
- output generation includes creating appropriate metadata
- Kepler Today
- EcoGrid support: EML data support; DarwinCore data support; EcoGrid registry to discover data sources
- Ontology-based browsing
- Demonstration workflows
- Ecological niche models
- Biodiversity analysis tools
- EcoGrid queries ...
- EcoGrid: EML Data Access
- Right-click data box to get EML metadata display
- Query builder
- QBE style query
- Query execution: EML Metadata + Data -> generate DDL to create temp dbs -> HSQL executes data -> result
- EcoGrid DarwinCore Access
- Actor Search and Browse: support multiple views (tuned to ecologist) ... switchable at runtime
- Kepler for Ecological Modeling
- Biodiversity indices (from Dan)
- R in Kepler
- ROADNet Realtime (Revelle ship)
- Kepler This Year:
- User Interface ... need a full eval and reworking of all UI for our target group
- Semantic annotation interface / ontology browsing interfaces
- Distributed computing / grid computing
- large jobs; lots of machines; detaiched execution
- "Smart" data discovery (as for actors)
- support for data sources that are distributed
- Actor repository / downloadable actors
- Integration and transformation using semantics
- generate required transformation for: data-actor integration; actor-actor integration
- handle "semantics" for R scripts, etc.
- file based buffering reduces our ability to reason about the data flow
- SMB: not exactly sure where the precise problem is here ...
- Finish EcoGrid Access
- full EML support
- support for "large" data and 3rd party transfer
- more data sources and types of data sources (e.g., JDBC, GEON data)
- Provenance and metadata propagation
