Present: William, Mike, Trish

Trish

Art of Life
- Trying to set up weekly standing meeting
- Doing some testing of uploading of JSON files to Macaw.
- Mike L waiting on Kyle for feedback on export files from IA – current export files from algorithm are different from samples files he sent previously. E.g. Pixel depth, status field. Mike needs to know about those two fields that Kyle eliminated. For example, Kyle eliminated a field of “processing complete” that Mike used.
- Question for Kyle - Where is persistent place where can always go to grab data?
- William asked Trish about the Macaw version performance and Trish said it is acceptable although she hasn't loaded too many. We might need to get additional functionality to see all someone has classified.

William
- Not going to Australia global meeting instead the hackathon for NESCENT in North Carolina. Martin, Nancy & Connie for the BHL-US/UK, Jiri for BHL-Europe, Fenghong and Dr. Cui for BHL-China, Dr. Magdy Nadi for BHL-Egypt, Abel and Fabiana for BHL-Brazil, and of course, Ely and a technical representative for BHL Australia. Hackathon is beginning of Feb, John Mignault will be attending. William going to iproBiosphere in mid Feb in Europe. Out Feb 4th – 12th. What about outstanding issues with BHL-AUS? - Images and metadata synchronization; also the Article information. Mike wondered could we be setup so that Mike can update the AUS data model when we make a change? They don’t have anyone tasked to do this work. Their db serves as a metadata backup for us and because Atlas of Living Australia pulls data from it.
- Will flesh out the IMLS workflow document more identifying the tools and technology
