Discussion topics
-----------------
1. Creating annotations
- See https://code.ecoinformatics.org/code/semtools/trunk/dev/sms/examples/Salmon/
- Problems encountered
Creating annotations with Morpho fails to save locally, and saving to fred fails due to log in issues. Ben - ideas on this? - Ben is looking into bespin being down
- Use Annotations menu to Save locally (unintuitive?)
Annotations are viewable in 'full annotation' view, not 'column annotation' view in Morpho- The <sms:map> dataObject attribute was set to '1', not '0', which was incorrect (zero-based list)
- Hand-written Annotation syntax
- Documentation in the XSD file would be helpful
- Examples should be updated
2. Detailed subclasses vs object properties
- Dilemna - do we create entity classes that are specific to entities that are being observed with highly detailed properties?
- Example: see https://code.ecoinformatics.org/code/semtools/trunk/dev/sms/examples/Salmon/cjones-eml.21.1.xml
- We've created classes such as LiveSmoltSteelheadPopulationSample
- We haven't created LiveHatcherySteelheadNoIdentifierPopulationSample
- or LiveHatcherySteelheadLeftRedIdentifierPopulationSample
- These classes are increased specializations based on the protocol at hand
- Discuss the use of object properties
- PopulationSample and hasMember only Steelhead and etc ...
- example property to discuss
- hasMember
- memberOf (and all other partonomy-type relationships)
- hasOrigin
- originatesFrom (relating to Wild vs Hatchery Origin)
3. Namespaces
4. JMX conclusion
- Write a final explanatory report that includes the oboe-salmon extension as a deliverable (9/30)
- Reschedule trip to WA, perhaps do a presentation at the Wild Salmon Center in Portland instead
- EIM in September, DataONE All Hands in late October. Perhaps November?
