• NCBC Team Action Items
  • codify API(s) (Csongr-Beth-Ivo)
    • Csongor: I started working on the "Lightweight API", i.e. the REST web services that will process biositemaps and will return an XML representation that can be consumed by iTools...
    • Beth: I've started working on a 'consumer' api that locates and queries biositemaps...
  • document knowledge of Google access to Biositemaps corpus and other access issue (Beth)
  • agree on official location of BRO and IM and easily accessible functions to download them (Csongor-Daniel)
  • finalize process for backward compatibility of BRO and IM (deprecation etc...) (Csongor-Beth)
  • get back to NCBC liaisons and (i) generate full corpus of NCBC biositemaps and (ii) expose biositemaps consistently to the Internet according to practices that Beth will disseminate (Peter)
  • get iTools to consume biositemaps corpus (Ivo)
  • get BioPortal to consume biositemaps corpus (Csongor-Daniel)
  • modify the BioPortal to index biositemaps corpus over more than BRO--see Beth's API (Csongor-Beth)
    • Daniel: ...providing a search box for people to search by tools using text queries... Harpreet might be able to do in conjunction with the CTSA supplement
  • Modify Biositemaps Editor to support multiple resource types (Csongor)
• NCBC-CTSA Team Action Items
