- Status check on three working groups: Biositemaps Resourceome, Scientific Ontologies, NCBC Driving Biological Projects Interactions and Impact

Appendix: Biositemaps white paper
- Biositemaps Resourceome (Ivo Dinov, Daniel Rubin, Will Schroeder, Beth Kirschner, Karen Skinner, Zohara Cohen, Bill Bug, Peter Lyster)
- The biositemaps white paper presents description of prototype for distributed architecture to address (i) locating, (ii) querying, (iii) composing or combining, and (iv) mining software tools and information resources on the Internet. Each site which intends to contribute to the inventory instantiates a file on its Internet site ‘biositemap.xml’ which conforms to a defined schema and is tagged by a resource ontology. The prototype schema may be found at http://www.ncbcs.org/biositemaps/biositemaps-v04.xsd A good reference for XML editors is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml_editor e.g., we are using XMLmind. The prototype resource ontology may be found at http://bioontology.org/projects/ontologies/SoftwareOntology/
- Further postings will be made at the NCBC portal at http://www.ncbcs.org/biositemaps/
- TBD: Long-term plan for maintenance of schema and resource ontology (hosting, versioning, ownership,...). Converge on contents of schema and resource ontology with appropriate parties. This will amount to a v1.0 release (i.e., figure out where to stop now and leave extensions to a later date). Resolve issues of locating the biositemaps content (hard-wired, crawl,...)
- Status of the NCBC iTools, which is uses the biositemaps. (production) http://www.loni.ucla.edu/iToolssvc/ncbc_iTools.html/http://iTools.loni.ucla.edu and (dev) http://netulla.loni.ucla.edu:8080/iToolssvc/ncbc_iTools.html/http://www.loni.ucla.edu/twiki/bin/view/CCB/iTools.
