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, and is willing to integrate into Kepler -- this may solve our issues for both pre- and post- processing of the geospatial data
      • need to expose components as standalone actors to whatever extent possible
      • Ricardo will try to implement by Oct 15 with help from Dan (Chad until Dan returns from vacation)
    • GIS actors status
      • GRASS web service completed but needs to be deployed
    • image display actors for GIS data -- outstanding needs?
      • Open modeler provides capability to get both actual image results plus low-res images for display, but Ricardo says only really useful for the ENM stuff -- probably better to use GDAL

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
