    • Discussion

      • Data sets, availability
      • Integration
    • Chad / Dan Presented on Kepler
      • Much interface discussion
      • Showed Pred/Prey and Bio index models
    • Rich Williams on ontologies
      • Restricted to certain axis; spatial patterns (naturally occuring gradients); abundance; temporal
      • In a particular control plot, how are things changing, and are those changes in the same trajectory (in the same gradient change)?
      • Ton of data in range management
      • Q: Are most of these datasets freely available on the web; are people sharing them? A: Few available on web ... Q: But is it possible to get them? A: It is a very divergent / diverse community. Q: W

September 22nd

  • Agenda Setting
    • Some overlapping stuff on every biodiversity analysis
    • Methods / Design focus
    • Analysis focus
    • Mark: Goal is to compartmentalize that provides general utility for next project, for some other analysis; a standard type of function that we want to capture and describe to use for others
    • Bob: At one point there was a database with various scripts that provided the full spectrum of data integration
      • They aren't there anymore (they were on KNB bio)
      • Everthing that was done using scripts, no manual work
      • From 16 or so grasslands
      • Raw data that read in the scripts
      • Project technically still ongoing
      • Aug 2002 first working group
      • Then six months of work after that
      • It would be a good test case / use case to look into
      • Steve: Jornado would be the test case

  • Data Integration
    • Start from the question of what data is needed ...
