Individual Reports

Liu Xianhua

Completed tasks / bugs fixed

• GUI support for editing taxonomic concepts
• Adding new concepts/relationships
• Changing existing concepts/relationships
• Deleting concepts/relationships

Current tasks / bugs

• Editing function of data proxy
• Adding new concepts/relationships
• Updating changes of existing concepts/relationships
• Deleting concepts/relationships

Significant issues

• TCBE will hold a local copy of all concepts/relationships and record the editing operations(adding,changing,deleting) for each concept or relationship. These editing operations will be updated to the data source at the same time as a whole. This could improve the performance and save time by avoiding access the database frequently, especially when internet transfer is involved.
