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
- Finalize participant and trainer numbers for September KNB Data Management Tools training -- conference call scheduled for June 22.
- Finalize ecoinformatics agenda and logistics for RCN training October 18- 30
