\[Note that there was no meeting last week; UNIMAN was busy with workshops.\]
h2. Attendees
* Donal Fellows (UNIMAN)
* Finn Bacall (UNIMAN)
* Markus Plangg (TUW)
* Rainer Schmidt (AIT)
* Michael Kraxner (TUW)
* Carl Wilson (OPF)
h2. Notes
Started review preparation. General plan is to have:
# some slides to show setting of component work within wider SCAPE project
# live (but possibly offline) demo
#* Will include looking inside some components
#* Would be nice to illustrate some components based on SCAPE tools (coordinate with PC) and showing multi-step contents too
There was some discussion of the myExperiment query system, including whether results are generated as XML or RDF (old RDF generator is PHP and uses historical data --- daily database dumps --- for aggregate queries).
New SPARQL query engine will restrict results, only allowing specific types to be returned (workflows, components) and only permitting a user to see the workflows they're permitted to. When not logged in, only public workflows/components will be visible.
Discussed typing of ports (file vs url). Particular case was whether a component might need a directory name, which would be relevant in a PDF to TIFF conversion (directory would hold multiple TIFF images, one per page of input PDF). Was pointed out that the component could produce a list of produced images as an output in this case, and that adding code to a component to allow it to select where to write output files by default would not be difficult (though allowing an override would make a lot of sense).
h2. Actions
h3. From last time
{{ACT.130307.04}} _Finn_: Allow myExp to tolerate anonymous nodes; mustn't crash\!
*DONE*: No longer crashes. Advanced query work in progress.
{{ACT.130307.05}} _Finn_: Solution for how to do SCAPE-specific queries for review.
*DONE*: Use existing query engine
{{ACT.130307.07}} _Markus_: Use jplyzer as example to create comprehensive CC component. (coordinate with Carl, Johann, TUW)
*ONGOING*
{{ACT.130307.11}} _Alan_: Update plugin (0.9?)
*DONE*
{{ACT.130307.12}} _Alan_: SCAPE-specific GUI for migration path & parameters
*ONGOING*
{{ACT.130314.01}} _Donal_: Ask Sean for assistance with ontology writing
*ONGOING* (Sean away)
{{ACT.130314.02}} _Finn_: Create brief feature list of myExperiments regarding components
