Friday? 8:30 - 12:30
- 8:30: Possible breakout session in Natural History Museum Informatics Conference Room (This session would be the only time after the all-day Thursday All-SEEK discussion of project integration, for SEEK Taxon to assess the requirements and tasks involved in the cross-SEEK case studies.)
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
- 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
