Topics

Strategic issues

  • Vision
    • What are the research support/science impact objectives of SEEK-Taxon?
      • Should we continue with leading edge innovation of concept models, services, identification or turn more toward deployment, iterating on production infrastructure tools?
    • What are the five-year infrastructure objectives of the group?
      • In the context of SEEK's Case studies and SEEk-Taxon's use cases?
      • In the context of broader taxonomic data provider and user community engagement and interactions?
    • How do we sustain the new development and technical maintenance of SEEK-Taxon infrastrcture beyond five-years of ITR funding?

  • Process
    • Are technical interactions within the group synergistic and all that they can be?
    • Can we increase the level of modelling, design and software development collaboration with Taxon?
    • How will SEEK-Taxon collaborate with the other SEEK subgroups on overall architecture integration?
    • How can SEEK-Taxon participants better integrate their own related, collateral research and technical development work to benefit both SEEK (Case studies, software offerings, etc.) and our related research and development objectives?
    • Should SEEK-Taxon now identify and forge cross-disciplinary links and links to other external taxon data management groups?

Implementation issues

  • Case studies in the larger SEEK framework
  • Population of the database
  • Visualization/User interfaces
    • our role vs. Ecogrid/Kepler
    • TCBE
    • Napier tools
    • mesquite (http://mesquiteproject.org)
  • TCS and implementation of it
  • LSID implementation
    • use LSIDs to access Mammal data
    • Knowledge representation/reasoning (using relationships too) in Kepler
    • tool for dataset annotation
  • What IS a concept? :)

Tasks

  • Idealogical
    • connections with KR/SMS
    • community involvement
  • Development
    • update the object model
    • LSID service integration
    • enter data via TCS
    • database population
      • mammals species of the world
      • species 2000
      • plant concepts from Bob
      • angelfish from Rich Pyle
    • service for Ecogrid
    • software outreach/usability
      • DiGIR portal integration
      • Specify integration
