System ArchitectureDocument Analysis

Status Update• Scoping: drop “Learn About a Species” process

• Progress so far

1. Interviews

2. Document Harvesting

3. Component Harvesting

4. Identifying Codesets

5. Process Identification

6. Identifying Documents Used in Processes

Interviews• Talked to one amateur and one researcher

• What we learned

• Researchers have higher accuracy demands

• Researchers derive more data from amateur observations than simply the identity of the thing observed

• Amateurs consider enforced structure a hindrance

• How would YOU identify an organism?

Component Harvesting

Component Harvesting

Consolidating Components

Codesets and Controlled Vocabularies

Processes

What’s Next • Compare with existing

schemata (e.g. DarwinCore)

• Establish a vocabulary

• Card sorting?

• Design a data model

• Service exploration and implementation suggestions
