FilteredPush Team Meeting 2012 Sept 05
Present: Bertram; James; Heather; Bob;Lei, Paul, Maureen, David, Ed Gilbert.
- iDigBio and SCAN integration
- Communication mechanisms - lists, code forges, wiki etc.
Ed set up with email list and sourceforge FP site, needs FP wiki account.
- Progress on Test VM for SCAN Symbiota-FP integration.
Ed: Alex has VM set up. Email sent last week to david and maureen.
Maureen and David haven't seen details. (usernames emailed)
Maureen to send Ed list of usernames.
Ed: To do installation of FP-Lite. David to help with install.
- Progress on FP-Lite (fp2) and FP-Medium (fp1) test VMs.
David: Have sent list of packages to Alex. Can access fp2.
Maureen: Will need domain names for morphbank and morphbank images. Specify database and symbiota on, morphbank on but not working yet.
Maureen to Contact Alex about need for domain names.
- Status of Taxonomic Heirarchy and Experts
Ed: Neil has started an effort, but not rolling yet.
- Target dates for rollout of functionality
Discussion: Contact Neil, Nico, Ed, Jim, next week to set timeline for fall.
Bob: Also consider presentations in timelines. DataOne gatherings?
Ed: iDigBio summit, TCN meeting, iDigBio public outreach.
Bertram: DataOne meeting in September: 9/18-9/20 in ABQ. Provenance-WG is meeting, continuing work on workflow provenance model, and interactions with DataONE/CCIT (Dave Vieglais' developers' team) to develop end-to-end use case where data is pulled out of DataONE, goes through a workflow, then is put back into DataONE with provenance about the whole thing.--> related to the Kurator story!
We'll also be talking with Semantics WG (Deborah McGuiness) and Metadata and Preservation WG (John Kunze of the CDL..)
Ed: No work on DataOne authentication services yet in Symbiota.
- TDWG Abstracts
Paul to put together draft on annotation interest group for James, with mention of w3c OA work.
Bob: Can provide figures for presentation for James.
Maureen: Haven't quite come up with angle yet.
Bob: Just needs to be a right angle...
David: Spent some time reviewing documentation for RDF handler - looking for parts most important.
Bob: Story is perhaps about generating annotations, humans are given a nice form, then through magic are generating annotation documents.
Discussion. David and Maureen to talk with Bob tomorrow, start getting on paper, then review on Friday with Paul.
- NEVP Kickoff Meeting
Paul may try demo (firuta).
James will send Paul screen shot backup.
- Friday Call Time Change
Maureen: How is 1:30 or 2 PM Eastern time? 10:30 or 11 CA time. Early afternoon sounding good, Maureen to email Bertram to check.
Normal time this friday.
- Annotation Paper
Bob: Making diagrams using OA, using OA for parts we agree with, OAD for parts not yet supported in OA. Replacing rdf N3 examples with diagrams per reviewer.
- Collaborations
- Kepler
Bertram: State of Kurator code as Kepler modules?
Lei: Kepler Kuration module released, recent code from Paul in repository in this module.
Jim: At Harvard has gone in to grants people, haven't heard back yet other than processing. Proposals are linked.
- Apiary
Jim: Same applies, documents are in process. Lots of other logistics to be done on other sides.
- Specify/Symbiota
Jim got funding at Kansas, will involve some of us in a meeting, no details yet.
- SCAN TCN
Nothing additional.
- NEVP TCN
Nothing additional.
