            This is version 6.  
            It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited. 
            [Back to current version]  
            [Restore this version] 
         
           
      
      
      
Collecting individual reports, will summarize on 15 June
 
 
 
Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed:
 
-  Bug 1594 - Impl revised Resultset XSD for all 3 platforms
 
-  Spent time thinking about the registry and DiGIR and how DiGIR will need to register multiple times. Each time for a different type of data, thus specifying the portal URL and the Consecptual schema namespace
 
 
Current Work and Bugs:
 
-  Start on Bug 1595 - Create Advance Query Builder UI
 
-  Initial prototyping to understand what parts of Swing can be used directly and what part may need to be extended. Next I should have a detailed summary
 
 
 
Significant Issues
 
 
Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed:
 
-  Finished design of Auto-Manager: auto-email, auto-assignment and auto-decision
 
-  Implemented auto-email function 
 
 
Current Work and Bugs:
 
-  developing Auto-Manager for Concept Review System to automatically complete some system administration tasks, such as sending emails,assigning proposals to peer-viewers. 
 
 
Significant Issues
 
 
Completed tasks/bugs fixed
 
-  developed toolbox pane (no icons yet) and enabled raw visual editing of simple owl constructs
 
-  wrote a small section of growl paper
 
 
Current Work and Bug
 
-  functions for editing relations and links
 
-  owl-dl compliance resolution for graphic primitives
 
 
-  enable node property editing
 
-  one more section for growl paper
 
 
 
Significant issues
-  Should we support owl-full? All who responded seems favor support for owl-dl only
 
 
 
Completed tasks/bugs fixed
 
Current Work and Bugs
 
-  Developing an ontology for biodiversity indices, extending existing ontologies to accommodate this, and adding instances for the biodiversity indices and related concepts.  This includes a general model for properties computed in terms of other properties.
 
-  Review/comment on paper that Shawn is lead author on, about the inter-ant parasitism semantic mediation prototype.
 
-  GrOWL editor: updating of the OWL model when the user edits the displayed graph
 
 
3) Significant issues
 
-  I looked into existing work on the semantics of mathematics, potentially for use when defining quantities in terms of other measured quantities.  A useful initiative is www.openmath.org, an emerging standard for representing the semantics of mathematical objects.
 
 
 
Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed:
-  Finished the collaboration and class diagram draft design for bug 1584 and 1586
 
-  Installed and evaluated both windows and linux SAS as sql engine
 
-  Resinstalled and tested Metacat ecogrid server in my local machine after Rod changed the code according to the change of resultset
 
 
Current Work and Bugs:
 
-  Continue to find a good sql engine for data query
 
-  Probably start to code after finding a good sql engine
 
-  Fix some bugs in ecogrid client after the resultset change
 
 
Significant Issues
 
 
Completed tasks/bugs fixed
-  Bug 1602 - Moved the Taxonomic Object Service SOAP service to http://seek.ittc.ku.edu:9080/TaxObjServ .  The WSDL is available from the link there (http://seek.ittc.ku.edu:9080/TaxObjServ/services/TaxonomicObjectService?wsdl).  
 
 
Current Work and Bugs
 
-  Working on Bug 1576 - Implement EnterProviderData.  This includes modifying the architecture somewhat to separate database modification methods from database query methods into separate classes. Also adding a database connection class which will be used by both DB classes.
 
-  Described (in an email to Seek-Taxon) the difficulties we are encountering with the assumption that a GUID-bearing Taxonomic Concept is defined by the current Taxon Exchange Schema.  
 
 
Significant issues
 
-  Taxon Exchange Schema and GUIDs described in seek-taxon email.  This may warrant a  Seek-Taxon teleconference, preferably by polycom.
 
 
 
Completed tasks/bugs fixed
-  Worked on the Kepler poster for SSDBM
 
-  Worked on nightly build systems for kepler (bug 1588)
 
-  Began preperation to go to SSDBM
 
 
Current Work and Bugs
 
-  Hopefully get a nightly build system working
 
-  Leave for Greece
 
 
Significant issues
 
 
Completed Tasks/ Bugs Fixed:
 
Current Work and Bugs:
 
-  Since SEEK Edinburgh, has been writing on a substantial manuscript (with R. Peet as co-author) for the journal Taxon, which deals with concepts and relationships among them.
 
-  The manuscript is about half-way completed; will take another 2-4 weeks to be ready for internal review.
 
-  This work is seen as a precursor to the GUID development, i.e. it's trying to answer the question when/what (something) should get a GUID.
 
 
Significant Issues
 
-  There's been a bit of a quiet in SEEK Taxon after the Edinburgh meetings, but apparently that just ended today, with KU sending out an update/request.
 
-  As the TDWG New Zealand planning is moving ahead, would like to make sure that the concept/relation paper is part of our SEEK Taxon presentation package there. 
 
 
 
Completed tasks/bugs fixed
-  completed specs for IPCC climate data processing as kepler design workflow and accompanying document
 
-  completed specs for sampling actor
 
-  sent notes on Kepler (user feedback) to Rod
 
-  sent GARP output schema to Shawn
 
 
Current Work and Bugs
 
-  planning for new BEAM working group on diversity/productivity
 
-  getting all relevant data for ecological niche modeling project into the SRB
 
-  thinking about user interface design and testing approaches
 
 
Significant issues
 
-  will have to create EML for all of the IPCC data
 
-  need a decision on the useability engineer slot (LOTS of discussion on the lists about the UI & testing) 
 
 
 
Completed tasks and Bugs fixed
 
-  Finalized agenda for upcoming Data Management Tools Workshop
 
-  Finalized GIS agenda for RCN training
 
 
Current Work and Bugs
 
-  Website
 
-  Working on copy for education section of website; attaching links to presentations of former and current trainings.
 
 
-  Trainings
 
-  Need to finalize ecoinformatics agenda for RCN training October 18- 30:
 
-  Composing email for Monthly SEEK Seminar
 
 
-  Conferences and Events
 
-  In contact with Sandy re moprho tutorial for upcoming ESA August 1 - 7:  Workshop; Evening Session
 
-  Working on poster presentation for ESA
 
 
 
Significant issues
