Art of Life
Running algorithm
Kyle working on IMA setup. Has access to IA and Woods Hole servers now.
Anthony confirmed he will not come to face to face meeting. Not sure of Nathan. William will confirm
Face to face meeting – invited Joel, haven’t heard anything. Rob is coming Tuesday night 8pm. Trish still needs to set up catering for Tuesday lunch
Macaw - Mike will work on process for ingesting JSON files from Kyle and outputting files for Joel this week

Global Names

• Dima’s names service – trying to get status of where this is at but no response from Woods Hole
• OAI harvesting – basic framework is setup. Have DC parsing set up but not MODS yet.
• We are pushing all the GNA functionality to BHL beta so we can say it’s been done for the purpose of closing out the GNA project. The Exec Committee still has to approve moving functionality from beta to live site. Do we need to get user feedback on GNA functionality in beta? Formal or informal? Not sure - Would need to hear this request from Exec Committee but would need more time to plan for getting user feedback. Connie will be asking for user feedback on 3rd party linkouts at her TDWG presentation
• What’s in beta now? – Button for View article – external but Mike needs to make change so they open in a separate window. Staff suggested creating a page letting users know they are leaving the BHL site before they go externally but tech team will decide if this makes sense – would create problems with back button and other functionality

OLEF
OLEF Format now available on exports page. Will help us share content with other global partners. OLEF includes the METS plus all the names data.
DLF mini hackathon – status ?
William sent a physical file to Connie but she couldn’t open the ZIP file. He will meet with her at TDWG to get her the data. William created a visual to help folks at DLF understand the relationships between scientific names, common names, titles in the biodiversity domain.
Trish will send the Google refine subject list to Connie this week.
9am meeting tomorrow
