The case statement

Dear All,
please find below a proposal new work plan which takes into
account the RDA TAB report that I forwarded to you last week. I
did not receive any feedback from you, so if you need more time,
please let me know.
Would you please notice the 2 main changes I made in the "form and
description of final deliverables": I considered the decision tree
as a part of the cookbook and added a new deliverable which should
be a prototype reusing an existing semantic framework. The idea
here is to base this prototype on the COEUS framework but we can
use another one. We should just be careful to choose a streamlined
framework with the less coding requirement. If you wish I can plan
a presentation on the COEUS framework in one of our RDA plenary
work sessions .
Would you also please have a deep look at the planning and tell me
if it seems realistic to you or not.
Warm regards.

.... Work plan
* Form and
description of final deliverables
* A report on the survey of
existing standards
* A Wheat linked data framework
specification (cookbook). The cookbook is intended for the
Wheat data managers community, and should provide them
with guidelines on what metadata, vocabularies and
ontologies they should use to describe, represent and
link different types of Wheat data. The cookbook will
include a decision tree for describing/representing data
based on:
* data and metadata
description recommendations
* file format
recommendations
* Library of linked vocabularies and ontologies in machine readable formats
with
respect to the Linked Data standards.
* A prototype which should be
based on an existing Semantic framework such as COEUS
(COEUS:http://bioinformatics.ua.pt/coeus/ [1]) and should
include the set of ontologies recommended in the
pre-mentioned cookbook. The goal of the prototype is to
propose a ready to use and streamlined framework for:
* integration of
heterogeneous Wheat Data,
* publishing Wheat
Linked Data that facilitate the reuse of the mashed up
data by programs and Humans.
* Months/Deliverables
* Months 1 to 2: Survey of existing standards
and recommendations (vocabularies, ontologies, existing
types and formats of wheat research data). Plus
identification of end-user categories and relevant
platforms.
* Months 3 to 7: Identification of a set of
minimal metadata for each data type and discussions on
how to move from a set of unrelated ontologies and
vocabularies to a Linked Data framework.
* Months 8 to 10: First version of the Wheat
linked data framework specification (cookbook).
* Months 8 to 11: Prototyping - Configuration of
an existing Semantic framework with selected ontologies
+ documentation for selected Wheat Data integration use
cases through the prototype.
* Months 12 to 14: Evaluation of the first
version of the cookbook and the prototype by the
adoption groups.
* Months 15 to 16: Final version of the Wheat
linked data framework specification (cookbook) + update
of the COEUS prototype.
* Months 15 to 18: Promotion: workshops in
connexion with an RDA meeting and the Wheat Initiative
events + webinars.

I find this an excellent work plan! I am apologizing for not being more active in the discussion, but during restructuring here in FAO I had to take over more responsibilities and I am simply overwhelmed.
But I am looking very much forward to participate in the meeting of the working group in Dublin.

· Form and description of final deliverables
o A report on the survey of existing standards
o A Wheat linked data framework specification (cookbook). The cookbook is intended for the Wheat data managers community, and should provide them with guidelines on what metadata, vocabularies and ontologies they should use to describe, represent and link different types of Wheat data.

Dear All,
As mentioned in a previous email, I sent the new version of our case statement to the RDA TAB and council. It turns out that there was a report for the previous TAB review of our case statement that we did not receive in spite of all the efforts I made to have the correct feedback. This report has been sent to me today. It contains clear recommendations which are relevant from my point of view. I forward you the report so you can have a look at it and give feedback or edit the case satement at the following address : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yx3HbSg5zC40lXv3OS5Q3QmlVE3AJEzi38Ef....
To summurise, we should:
* clarify the nature of of deliverables (paper product, technical solution or whatever)
* be more practical in our work plan: the TAB suggests to envisage a 4-months digest phase after the survey in order to come to an agreement on how we move from a set of unrelated vocabularies to a linked data framework. Include a step to discuss the minimal metadata set
* envisage a kind of demonstration of interopeability accross different vocabularies and/or ontologies we will identify and recommend
* envisage a 2 stage work group with membership coutinuity with our current delivrable as satge 1 and a 2nd stage that takes the results to demonstrably usable Linked Data Solution
I know how busy you are, but it would be good if we could come to a new version for the TAB by the end of next week.
Please, also let me know if you are available for a skype on monday, or tuesday, or wednesday at 13:00 Paris time. Thank you.
Warm regards,
Esther

Dear all,
Here are my proposals in green.
