This is version 4.
It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.
[Back to current version]
[Restore this version]
Finish/improve current work on TOS
- update object model
- finish the parser
- use Hibernate for database abstraction
- add MSW data, changes over time, in TCS format
- make SOAP server more robust (1 week max)
New functionality for TOS
- API's to receive and output TCS and OWL
- Kepler actor?
- Integrate LSID server into
Visualization Browsing and Editing Tools
- Browser within 6 mos
- Editing within 9 months?
- What kind of editing tools are needed?
- single concept
- batch addition, editing
- Should we have seperate tools? There should be coordination between the 2 - not different displays for user to view
- How does current work fit in?
- Xianhua's TaCBE tool, browsing and editing - where does this fit in?
- Napier's (Martin) visualization tool for tree comparison - doesn't edit
Dataset markup tools
- modification of EML taxonomic section
- allow manual markup of dataset metadata
- auto markup
Napier
- tool to define mappings from other dbs to TCS
SEEK Integration Tasks
- Find experts, Mark S. will talk to Jim Richman and ?? about bat data
- Nico - Identify 1-5 taxa to target (with Mark and Deana identifying ecological datasets and markup in EML with Taxonomic Concepts)
- Pre: Dave Thau will look through MaNIS for families with lots of georeferencing data (Nov 12 or so) to help identify taxa
- Pre: Jessie and Trevor will look for eco datasets to help identify taxa
- Populate concepts for those taxa
- Experts to help map relationships b/w concepts we get (who?)
- Nico will help from Taxonomic perspective
- Dave V. will help from Ecogrid perspective
- Need links between APIs and Ecogrid
- Reindex existing datasets - ecological and specimen records, modify EML records
- Query with name for concepts then datasets fro concepts
Specific Assignments
- Find experts, Mark S. will talk to Jim Richman and ?? about bat data
- Nico - Identify 1-5 taxa to target (with Mark and Deana)
- and identify ecological datasets, markup in EML with Taxonomic Concepts
- Populate concepts for those taxa
- Nico will help from Taxonomic perspective
- Dave V. will help from Ecogrid perspective
- Identify mechanism/plan for any given scientific study
- Formulate plan
- Walk the experts through the concept creation steps
- Create TCS doc for import into SEEK Taxon cache (Nico, Jessie)
- historical concepts/relationships
- integrate functionality of TOS with Ecogrid
- Incorporate TOS into current data queries
- term expansion in client for now
- smart searching - currently divided into 2 searches, need to integrate SMS and Taxonn searching, Shawn thinks - bring it in locally
- Aggregation node vs individual providers, regularly scheduled updates
- How do we annotate datasets - metadata generation
- Modify taxonomic part of EML
- Can use additionalMetadata with no changes to EML tools for experimentation
- Could use simple name/rank/publication composite key with/without LSID
- Using only LSID might be best long-term solution
- Maybe use controlled vocabulary (Smithsonian?)
- Modify Morpho tool which is pulling taxonomic names/info from datasets to use TOS for concept matching
- Ecological datasets vs specimen datasets
- How do we interface with ecological dataset creators that don't use Morpho?
- How do we use the rich TOS result to query on DiGIR resources with sparsely populated taxonomic information?
- Annotate Darwin Core records with proxy - LSIDs for specimen records and Concept LSID
- Map between TCS, DarwinCore, EML (Jessie)
