This is version 15.
It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.
[Back to current version]
[Restore this version]
- EcoGrid group
- Working on EcoGrid web interface
- EcoGrid 'write' interface partially completed for SRB and Metacat, will be used for archiving Kepler products back on the EcoGrid
- KR/SMS group
- Incorporating ontology-based searching into Kepler
- Highlighted need for some domain ontologies to test with, probably for biodiversity case study
- Need for unique IDs for data sets, actors, services, etc -- is this EcoGrid responsibility?
- Continued work on Growl interface
- Taxon group
- Continued work on taxon exchange schema
- LSID server being brought online
- Should this LSID server serve all of seek, or just taxon?
- Created ontologies(object models) of VegBank and TCS in OWL using Protege
- Kepler group
- New search capability for actors
- Alpha2 release a few weeks ago, along with a CD that was created for distribution at SDSC
- Data query (Query By Example) interface partially integrated into Kepler
- Working for Oct15 as freeze date for new Kepler features, release shortly after testing
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Completed status report submission feature for the SEEK wiki
- Released EML 2.0.1 for better inclusion of LTER data sets in EcoGrid
Current tasks / bugs
- Preparing metacat release to better support EcoGrid client calls
- Preparing for training workshop
- Preparing proposal for _link-up_ with the E-Science program to work together on an ecological data grid
- Draws from KNB, SEEK, AlterNet, and UK Ecological Data Grid
Significant issues
- EcoGrid Registry API and implementation really need to be finalized for work in Kepler and the web client to proceed
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- SeekWikiWebApp version SEEK_WEB_2_0_4 - development completed
- includes new InsertPagePlugin
- includes new build.xml file for Ant
Current tasks / bugs
- Web Interface for Ecogrid Query
- have working prototype input form with validation and related bean with Struts
- work with Duane and Mark to get this working with Metacat via Pathquery (handling query building and displaying results)
- work on getting getting a ecogrid query version (EcoGridQueryLevelOne instead pathquery)
Significant issues
- current ecogrid query work is dependent on Registry which isn't currently available and hasn't been finalized
Current tasks / bugs
- Writing paper on Abstract Model And Exchange Schema for Taxonomic Concepts
- Updating TDWG discussion WIKI on proposed draft standard exchange schema
- Addressing design issues with exchange schema as they arise from SEEK/KU and TDWG community
Current tasks / bugs
- Finishing up a simple ontology/keyword actor/data search for Kepler. Most of the code is done/working. Just need to fit it into what Chad has done. I am using Jena, so I need to work a bit on getting it to go faster as well (Jena appears to be very slow for even simple reasoning tasks).
- Finished up preliminary design for a comprehensive annotation tool. Want to write some code as a quick prototype, and try to get Rich and Dave something they can work/play with.
- Working on hybrid-type theory.
Significant issues
- We still need a mechanism to assign ids to datasets, actors, and workflows. Who is working on this_ Shouldn't this be EcoGrid's job (i.e., assigning/maintaining ids)_ Are actors going to be stored on EcoGrid_
Current tasks / bugs
- Enhancing the GrOWL user interface
- Bug fixes in the GrOWL OWL rendering code
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Created ontologies(object models) of VegBank and TCS in OWL using Protege
- Loading model from OWL file
- Nested panels to show and edit taxonomic data according to specific taxonomic data models
Current tasks / bugs
- Developing data proxy for TCS data
- For test purpose, designing and implementing a database for TCS data
- Developing a proxy that transfers data back and forth in the format defined by TCS model.
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- installed lsid server and integrated it with the taxon server
Current tasks / bugs
- writing paper with nico about guids and taxonomic concepts
- talking with shawn and rich williams about a data set annontation tool
- making lsid server live
- figuring out better output than current
- getting go ahead from Susan Gauch and Jim Beach
- asking KU sysadmins to add SVR record to DNS
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Presented at the 4s conference
Current tasks / bugs
- Preparing for KNB Workshop at end of September
- Complying and preparing evaluation materials for training article
- Research on content management systems for online education modules and distributed graduate seminar
Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- Make the sql engine for data query more configurable
Current tasks / bugs
- Integrate data query interface with sql engine.
Current tasks / bugs
- Starting to write - with Dave Thau & Jessie Kennedy - a draft of the concept/GUID paper.
Significant issues
- Planning a shorter trip to KU on September 23 & 24 to exchange ideas about TES, concepts, GUIDs, etc.
You can see the status reports for other time periods as well.
