Discussion

1. Ecological Niche Modeling pipeline

• Ricardo gave summary of Open modeler, suggested it be incorporated into Kepler
• framework for modeling algorithms, geospatial sampling, etc
• better base for ENM models than current GARP code in Kepler, more OO, has Java bindings, better pipelines, new algoritms would be available automatically
• current algorithms in OM are GARP, CSM (Climate Space Model based on principal components analysis)
• Ricardo would like to use Kepler as the UI for OM

• GIS actors status
• GARP and other model actor status
• presampling actors status
• image display actors for GIS data -- outstanding needs?

2. EcoGrid and data access in Kepler

• Metadata query facility changes needed
• Data query implementation status
• Mammal data access -- and metadata -- DIGIR results status
• Environmental data layer access -- and metadata
• Timeline for completion

3. Ontology-based browsing for actors and data

• Java API to sparrow status
• Design and implementation in Kepler status

4. Saving kepler products to EcoGrid

• Prioritization of 'put' interface work
