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
 * http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#Entity vs
 * http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/Entity
 * http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe-ext/salmon.1.0/oboe-salmon.owl#ChinookSalmon vs
 * http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe-ext/salmon.1.0/ChinookSalmon

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?
