JWG Conf Call on Use Cases
--------------------------------------
Jones, Lagoze, Lapp, Schildhauer
Agenda issues
--------------------
1. Background
-- SONet willing to fund meetings
-- Schildhauer, Bowers, McGuiness, Bermudez, Dibner, Gries
-- initial goals, then work on major integration with OGC O+M
-- lots of similarity between OBOE and O+M
-- O+M added mods to O+M to make it closer to OBOE -- specifically "context"
-- Data Conservancy -- Carl plus about 0.5 FTE
-- Semtools
-- Jones, Schildhauer, Bowers, O'Brien
-- http://semtools.ecoinformatics.org
-- discovery, annotation, data integration tools that extend morpho/metacat/eml, will try to fold into DataONE
-- Hilmar -- goals of core model should be very pragmatic, not necessarily a theoretically complete/pure model
2. Potential meetings
-- Focus of potential meetings
-- use cases?
-- see https://sonet.ecoinformatics.org/workshops/data-interoperability-challenge
-- exchange syntax and model?
-- Goal articulated from TDWG: by next TDWG have an exchange specification available for analysis
-- plan a meeting for the spring
-- open hackathon: invitees, plus certain # of slots for open participation, applications accepted
-- product: define one or more specifications for a concrete syntax for exchanging observational data
-- meeting should not be a show-and-tell on existing projects and capabilities
3. Action items
-- Mark: accounts for SONET site ASAP
-- Matt: organize use case page structure on site ASAP
-- use case articulation: use cases for each domain by end of November
-- spring meeting time: April 2011
-- call for participation by end of Dec
