Decisions made¶
- Bob recommended the Canadian arctic plot data he has as an additional data source for testing.
- Reiterated that normalized VegCore is not part of the workflow for October.
datasources to include in final product¶
- the list of these should be e-mailed out to the wider BIEN group for comment
- just send to people marked Core/PI in the BIEN Role column
To do for Brian, Bob, Brad¶
Prioritize the list of data sources. [Martha suggests sending an email with the data sources grouped into “High”, “Medium”, and “Low” priority.]see 2013-10-03 conference call > datasource validations > order- https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegBIEN_datasources
- The desire is to have all the data sources that are listed imported into VegBIEN.
- The prioritization is to help Aaron prioritize his efforts given the time constraints.
- Recommend one of the data sources, that is already on our list, to use for streamlining the import process.
- Find an example plot datasource to test the datasource adding process
To do for Aaron and Mark¶
Create a more fine-grained timeline.see timeline (I have split the tasks up by week instead of month, and added task breakdowns of the priority tasks)Send Martha the link as soon as it's available.
To do for Aaron¶
In 1-2 sentences, clarify what “waiting on Aaron” means in the Data Sources table and indicate the difficulty of accomplishing the task.
To do for Mark, Brian¶
- Draft the announcement about the BIEN database becoming available in mid October.
- Include:
- List of data sources (https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegBIEN_datasources)
- Short paragraph of progress over past year and (maybe) challenges faced. We are still dealing with issues on some of the data sources.
