Use case lessons: Components of the SEEK architecture
Robert K. PeetUniversity of North Carolina
Infrastructure components - 1
• In each case could be distributed or centralized,
• In each case need initial data population [use case 3?]; need rules for population and task assignments,
• Can link to outside providers [use case 2]; need design specifications
Infrastructure - 2
1 Party • Registry with GUIDs [GUID assignments
in use case 5]• Use case 4 = registration and
level/rights of authority/expert
2 Reference • Registry with GUIDs• No agreed standard format yet –
perhaps EML format
Infrastructure - 33 Names• Registry with GUIDs • Separate spellings/renderings maintained??
[unique GUIDs ??]• Could be distributed over orgs like GBIF, IPNI,
ZooRecord• Current sources are not complete, not receptive to
additions, not supportive of spellings• Reference for source required (original concept?)• Support accumulating notes with dates and
parties?• Treat rank as attribute• Need agreement on treatment of alternative name
systems (English common, Spanish common, USDA codes, etc.)
Infrastructure - 4
4. Concepts• Registry with GUIDs• Combination of ref GUID & name GUID• Require party submitting?• Require date submitted?• Support accumulating notes with dates and parties ?• Optional additional fields for transfer schema
5. Relationships among concepts by party • Synonyms and acceptance [use case 1]• Components maintained by various authorities
Infrastructure - 5
6. Tools • Submission• Annotation• Dataset markup• Access to registries
Taxonomic workflow - 1
1. Tool for searching for related concepts for researching a taxon.
• May need to limit scope to a particular perspective [use case 3 = select preferred view; use case 4 = display concepts associated with name; use case 9 = display concepts associated with different information sources such as reference or specimens; use case = 10 display details about a concept; use case 7= trace history of chances in concept; new use case = find GUID]
Taxonomic workflow - 2
2. Tool for submission of Parties, References, Names, & Concepts
• Need business rules for who can do this – is it open?
• Use case 11= enter existing concepts from published references.
• Use case 12 = enter correlations from published references.
• Use case 13 = enter informal concepts [e.g., draft taxa. Need business rules]
Taxonomic workflow - 3
3. Tool for managing authority perspectives
• Use case 14 = acquire synonymy from expert or authority
4. Tool for submitting new perspective to authority for peer review / approval
Ecology workflow - 1
1. Tool for ecological dataset or publication markup
• Highlight taxa in dataset for systematic review• Choose preferred authority (e.g., ITIS 2004) • Each taxon for review comes up once in a
form:- List of candidate concepts, most likely
first- If not on list, but well formed concept- If not on list and not well formed
Ecology workflow - 2List of candidate concepts, with most likely listed first:• Entries show name by selected authority: accepted name,
concept name, concept reference, GUID.• Option to expand list to candidates not on authority
preferred list.• Enter note if any.
If not on list but well formed concept:• Search for Name; if none new form for entry; GUID assigned.• Search for Ref; if none new form for entry; GUID assigned.• Enter note if any.
If not on list and not well formed:• Enter one or more correlations with well-formed concepts.• Enter dataset-specific name.• Enter note if any.
Ecology workflow - 32. Tool for ecological dataset or publication
annotation• Select dataset or publication• Annotation probably gets appended to dataset
Form • Enter Party making annotation by GUID (GUID
includes name & affiliation]• Enter date of annotation.• Enter notes if any.• Enter taxon name [GUID] in dataset being
annotated• For new concept complete form as above.
Search workflow
Tool for searching for related concepts for developing search criteria or researching a taxon
May need to limit scope to a particular perspective [use case 3 = select preferred view; use case 4 = display concepts associated with name; use case 9 = display concepts associated with different information sources such as reference or specimens]
