BiOnym paper

To be discussed on Thursday 17 Aapril 2014.

Notes

User Interface

• Casey succeeded to make it work on her own computer.
• However, she encountered difficulties to compile it in one of the FB/SLB mirror server in UBC, Vancouver, Canada ([[1]]). So we can see the interface and select te option, but we cannot submit.
• It seems that there was a confusion about this installation on .ca: FIN used that server for testing, but the interface was never thought to be installed outside the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative./iMarine infrastructure. Since the beginning, the goal was to develop a portlet that would be incorporated in the Biodiversity Research VREVirtual Research Environment., to complement the two data exploration tools on species and point data.
• Casey developed the application as a tool for the infrastructure, with the technologies recommended by CNR, not as an application for FIN servers. Indeed, the first developments were made on FishBase website but it was merely for [prototyping, and develop the GSAy approach.At the beginning, the collaboration with Fabio using his environment was not planned.
• After discussion posterior to the meeting, having the interface outside would allow it to be accessible without registration in the BR VREVirtual Research Environment..
• However, Leo stressed the point that having a dedicated BiOnym VREVirtual Research Environment. would make the activity and product more visible, and would not prevent to use the same portlet in the BR VREVirtual Research Environment.. It could be made available without registration then? (I suppose in that case, people will have to save the result on their own computer).
• GP proposed the plan for implementation.
  • 2 phases for the application implementation>
    • Create a virtual server in CNR (?) where the application coud be deployed as it is.
    • Start with one word entry, then uploading a csv file.

Next meetings
