WP10 - Data Mining and Visualization

Presenter: Gianpaolo Coro (CNR) - Slides

• Status of the Statistical Manager platform
• Algorithms currently supported
• Distributed R support
• Missing bits

WP6/WP11 - Portal and common tools

Presenter: Massimiliano Assante (CNR) - Slides

• Portal gCore free
• Status of the components
• Features that will be released

Rather than wait for gCube 3.1, a specific gCube release can be dedicated to the new maven-portal-BOM

The "news feed" portlet should be enriched with a facility to publish any post on social networks, e.g. LinkedIn and Facebook

WP6/WP3 - VME-DB

Presenter: Erik Van Ingen (FAO/CNR)

• Status and Plan

VME - RSG - CMS

Presenter: Erik Van Ingen (FAO) - Slides

If the VME-DB is successful, FAO is planning to exploit the same approach so serve similar scenarios (see Aureliano slides).

Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems database (VME-DB)

Presenter: Aureliano Gentile (FAO) - Slides

The plan is to go in production in July, however in March there is an event Japan.

The latest release (currently in dev), will be available in production in March.

Aureliano is going to further test the facility.

VME-DB and iMarine Reports

Presenter: Massimiliano Assante (CNR) - Slides

Presenter: Fabio Fiorellato (FAO) - Slides

Suggestion: it should be better to replace the UML Diagram of the DB with an ER Diagram, this should enhance the readability and highlight the main classes of information managed ... in the UML classes are repeated.

The report in the workspace and its materialised version in the DB should be "aligned":

• a proper strategy should be identified, e.g.
  • on commit update both the DB and the report in the Workspace (the problem is that changes in references data might lead to changes to the "report");
  • on commit drop the report from the workspace;

VME GIS Input Flow

Presenter: Emmanuel Blondel (FAO) - Slides

WP6/WP3 - COTRIX

Presenter: F. Simeoni (FAO) - Slides

• Status and Plan

A code list discovery facility should be in place, e.g.

• during the publication phase a user is requested to select the code list he/she is willing to publish; a browse mode seems impractical;

COTRIX plans to develop workflows management facilities. Please, do have a look at the Documents Workflow Management facility to verify on the eventual reusability and feedback.

WP6/WP3 - SmartFish

Presenters: FAO / CNR

• Presentation of the current Chimaera portal, from SWIOFC recommendation to harmonize existing Information Systems in the region to an innovative technical solution to access seamlessly SWIO information and data from an unique entry point, including services provided by the iMarine infrastructure such as hosting facilities, indewing and annotation services and search web services - Y. Laurent (FAO) ~ 10 min + 5min discussion
• SmartFish as a provider of tools being integrated in the iMarine infrastructure: JavaScripts (search/map) integration / portlet - E.Blondel (FAO) / M. Assante (CNR) ~ 10min + 10min discussion
• SmartFish web services and use of xSearch: improving SmartFish sustainability by integrating xSearch facilities? - Y.Laurent, C. Baldassarre (FAO) / discussions with NKUA + FORTH ~ 10min presentation + 15min discussion

Smartfish-iMarine project

Presenter: Yann Laurent (FAO) - Slides

Web Components-Portlet Integration
