Agenda

  • Clarification of the plan (Mark, Brad)

October Deliverables

  • VegBIEN populated with the current list of data sources and online
  • VegCore schema for new providers to map to
  • Complete documentation of VegCore schema

Specifications for October deliverables include:

  • Ability to add (and remove?) individual data sets
  • Ability to change a data value in place in VegBIEN
  • Ensure that future datasets are loaded by mapping through VegCore?
  • Not require Aaron to go back and refactor the normalized datasets that already are mapped directly to VegBIEN at this time.

Next steps after October

  • Community will use VegBIEN db and VegCORE schema and provide feedback for improvement.
  • Mark, Brad, Bob, Brian: Please discuss and provide the major deliverables that are the next priorities for the project. (in the next couple of weeks?)
