- Ecogrid authentication service for Metacat
- put and authentication interface metacat implmentation
- Working on EcoGrid Registry and EcoGrid Web Queries
- Kepler group
- Darwin Core features in data tab and search
- new actor "KeplerImageReader" for uncached/dynamic images
- KR/SMS group
- preliminary generic data model and annotation language
- Added rdfs:label support to classes only in ESD Applet
- Taxon group
- Preparing for TDWG meeting
- LSID server running
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Help bug fix and Metacat 1.4.0 release
- Install and test put and authentication interface metacat implmentation
Current tasks / bugs
- Ecogrid node registry search interface in kepler
- Polish SQL Enigne in kepler for data query
Current tasks / bugs
- Made a lot of progress on getting Darwin Core into the "data" tab and be part of the search. I have items populating the result list in the tab and they can get data and emit the data on the port when the workflow is executing.
- I have nearly completed the DarwinCorDataSource object, more testing and a couple of smaller issues to resolve
Significant issues
- I will very soon be blocked by the completion of the Registry work. For DiGIR this is more of an issue because the Metadata in the registry will enable the DiGIR service to configure itself to access any portal instead of the currently hard-coded one.
Current tasks / bugs
- GrOWL: fixed bugs when saving new graph structure without "is-a" relations
- GrOWL paper: worked on GroWL paper that Serguei is lead author on
- Ontologies: fixed bugs in ontologies - they now correctly load into OWL
- Ontologies: wrote up notes on biodiversity, productivity and experiments from San Diego workshop
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- taxon lsid server available and running - urn:lsid:bioguid.org:seek:<int>
-
Current tasks / bugs
- improve metadata on lsid server
- work on TDWG GUID talk
- work on TDWG ontology talk
- implement getKnownURI() method in LSID server
Current tasks / bugs
- Documenting IPCC climate data in EML
- Writing up a kepler publication for IJGIS
- Working on logistics for Dec ENM meeting
Significant issues
- need correct syntax for pointing an EML document to the SRB
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Created a new actor "KeplerImageReader" to correct problems with the PTII ImageReader. Specifically, the image is NOT cached so that a workflow can be run several times and will display newly created images. In addition, changes were made to insure that image display will occur even if the image is dynamically created and the file does not exist before workflow execution.
- Updated the R CompositeDataFileReader workflow to make the R script more apparent (moved out of Composite actor to top level) and cleaned up soe of the path dependency problems.
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Finished up the notes for the Beam working group, which this time can be found here Beam Working Group_BeamKnowledgeRepSept04?
- Finished the preliminary generic data model and annotation language (currently as powerpoint slides) -- still working on the formalization of some aspects. The goal of the data model is to be generic enough to support a wide range of annotations, including the semantic accumulation problem results, like for nested transpose, which was discussed at the beam meeting.
-
Current tasks / bugs
- Extending the ontology search to new identifier approach in kepler
- Intending to create a white-paper from current slides on the generic data model
- Looking into query answering as a first application of the language (besides the simple actor-based search).
- Would still like to look into existing EML tools (didn't get a chance to do this last week)
- Would also like to go further with the id/file-system work for kepler; but not sure if i'll get to that this week.
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- traveled to KU on Sept. 22-25 for discussions on implementing the taxon concept transfer schema; preparations for the TDWG New Zealand meeting
Current tasks / bugs
- working on the "concepts & GUIDs" manuscript (about 1/3 done); with Dave Thau, Jim Beach has received a print-out of the first sections; Jessie Kennedy is envisioned as co-author as well; we will coordinate these issues in New Zealand
- preparing talk for TDWG New Zealand meeting, on how to understand concept relationships; will use examples from own thesis to illustrate how the new annotation system is suitable to compare concepts from a modern systematic publication to other in older monographs, on-line checklist, etc.; essentially the entire range of "concepts out there"
Significant issues
- still waiting (!) for co-author to finish reviewing manuscript on concept relationships so that it can be submitted to TAXON
- a meeting is in the planning with Bob Peet and Xianhua Liu to design the "taxon concept browser and editor"; dates and location are being discussed now
Significant issues
- sorry Matt; I forgot this: the SEEK Taxon group is starting to actively look for use cases relevant to SEEK's BEAM/Kepler prototyping efforts; Town Peterson, Bill Michener, and Dave Vieglais have been contacted regarding the North American mammals distributional dynamics Use Cases; so far we have not received a response, but some encouragement from others that the concept approach may be applicable and useful in this Use Case; if there are other SEEK Use Cases with a clear taxonomic component, we would like to see the relevant data sets for possible translation into concepts
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- made a publicly accessible build of the EcoGridWebApp (Web Interface of Eco Grid Client) - a work in progress
Current tasks / bugs
- EcoGridWebApp - Web Interface of Eco Grid Client
- begin work to properly handle and display results
- begin work to support multiple/different query nodes
Significant issues
- back-end performance of EcoGrid-Metacat queries too slow
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Fixed several bugs in ESD applet
- Added rdfs:label support to classes only in ESD Applet
- Prepared Growl presentation for UVM CS Seminar Series
Current tasks / bugs
- Change icons in tool panel, to accomodate resently implemented distinction between object and data properties
- Add editing support for rdfs:label
Significant issues
- Up to what extent we should support rdfs:label? Do we need foreign language support? Perhaps not now?
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Finished implementation and testing of Ecogrid authentication service for Metacat (Monday Sept 27, 2004)
- Finished design and the gwsdl of ecogrid's registry service
Current tasks / bugs
- Designing the Ecogrid authentication service with Matrix project in SRB
- Working on implementation of Ecogrid's registry service
