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 infrastructure 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

    • tool for dataset annotation
  • What IS a concept? :)

Tasks

    • connections with KR/SMS
    • community involvement
