PO PlantSystematics conference call 03-11-12

Overview

At the PO PlantSystematics conference call 10-21-11 we talked about mapping files form PO terms to PS.org keywords. This will allow us to establish links in both directions. We can continue work on this mapping, but in the mean time, it might be better to set up curated links to specific images on PlantSystematics.org

Ale has set up a test page with the images that have been scanned for the PO from the Cornell slide collection: CUPAC

Any other issues to discuss?

Links to images from PO

• Curated images vs. keywords.

• What is the best abbreviation for links to images?

See below for an example. This lets people know it is a link to an image.

Other possibilities

Mapping PS.org keywords to PO terms

tasks from the PO PlantSystematics conference call 10-21-11

short term:

• KN will send list of all PS.org keywords to RW at PO.

• RW will work with JP to create a mapping file between PS.org keywords and PO IDs. This will go on PO's SVN and will follow standard mapping file format.

• JP, JE and RW will work create a few test cases of keyword searches (e.g., some with a single word, some with multiple words) and send these to KN so he can figure out the best format for the url.

• JE will create the links from pages on the dev version of PO's AmiGO brower, to make sure they work properly.

longer term

• PO will work on method of automatically adding links to images from PO based on PO term names and synonyms.

• PO will work with KN to devise a strategy for associating PO id's directly with PO.org images. These can then be used to link back to PO.
