This is version 65.
It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.

- Carl Ferrarres (all catfish species project, systematist)
- Dan Graf (Philadelphia) bivalves, systematics
- Mike Catarino (SB, California beetles) (Ronald persona)
- nomenclature, phylogeographic,
- Paul Valence Scott (Santa Barbara, marine bivalves)
- Jim Beach, Laura Downey, Nico Franz, Xianhua Liu, Bob Peet, Jessie Kennedy, Martin Graham, Robert Gales, Susan Gauch, Aimee Stewart
1. TCS creation function
- create TCS from user input data
2. Viewing in multiple ways (for scientists/policy makers too)
- Interactive function for viewing existing matching concepts and decision making
3. Visualization Function (Small scale)
- Filter by different attributes, View and edit info in TOS in different manners
4. Multi-classification Visualization function (Large scale down to small)
- Several trees - see multiple matching concepts from a query within their classification trees
5. EML taxonomic data creation - function to create whatever EML group decides upon (EML group)
6. Other Schema to TCS mapping (behind the scenes)
7. Merge datasets (later)
- need input from SEEK
- unified concepts for 2 datasets containing taxa that can be analyzed together
- important, but later, many issues
8. Peer Review function (low priority)
- Way to filter for UNPUBLISHED data in the TOS for particular user/editor community
- Use visualization function
- Only one concept for a group of similar concepts with different forms of author string, etc, should have an LSID. Algorithms should resolve concepts to longest form.
- Community ecologist
- Taxonomic expertise in particular taxa in geographic region
- keep track of community
- use taxonomic data available to improve classification of community
- capture info
- datasets persist over time for monitoring and consistency in treatment
- data compatible with similar efforts in other geo areas
- ITIS is not useful, concept and how it was developed is wrong
- currently looking at data just at face value, names only
- looking at old data, changes over tiime
- Sharing, integration of data, names, is that a problem? - yes, it's our job
- If can determine relationships b/w different uses of a name, will correct
- Distinguish between nomenclature and usage
- JK - how do you separate names vs meaning?
- lots of times concepts introduced in papers, with no name attached
- a name with no author string can be assumed to be the original concept
- poorly annotated names cannot be resolved - won't bother
- Need a collaborative tool to look at differences of opinion over time - literature, images, type specimens
- Don't care to document geographic and typological? changes of concepts over time - provide the references for those who are interested in this. Perhaps JK is overestimating the importance of this historical information
- Paradox - want all the info, synonymies, etc available, but also want a single, simple list
- Who is going to populate this database?
- Bob - start fresh, with new info (ask about his point here)
- don't give too much authority to "online", this data is transient, don't confuse with archived data
- Dan - revisions of his species are just reshuffling, table of valid species, maintain separate family, genus, species, Fritz Haas and Simpson, http://mussel-project.net
 , valid species assoc with an author, attached to nomen,
- Paul would like our tools to not only handle quagmire of legacy data, but help us go forward
- Brian Fisher - ants in Madagascar - several kilos of ants every month for 7 years - very few identifications completed. Now can objectively identify from DNA overnight.

1. Populate database
- harvest
- P1/E2 help relate concepts
- First 4 functions above
- Tasks
- add known concepts
- create new concepts
- relate existing concepts
- Want old datasets, old treatments/classifications of bats
- Has mappings (digital format) b/w names as in Wilson/Reeder with valid names 1993
- some geographic ranges - difficult with past names
- will find out what others do wrt identifying species from old data
- Nico: want to track species naming for a group back to Linneaus (she laughs)
- Interesting: Pipistrellus genus, red bat, Molossidae
- different type of migration
- insectivors
- ecological issues
