[seek-taxon] agenda all hands

[Matt Jones]

Bob,

I've tried to accomodate your requests in the AHM agenda:
   http://seek.ecoinformatics.org/Wiki.jsp?page=AllHandsMeeting2005

We now have a slot in the Taxon subgroup on Thursday morning to discuss 
the taxon changes to EML.  I will need to limit my time there to about 
45 minutes as I need to also participate in the KR group happening 
concurrently, and in particular I need to see Josh Madin's overview talk.

We also have a slot on Tuesday morning's agenda to begin to discuss the 
data integration problem and present some of the taxon perspectives on 
ecological data integration.  I've slotted you for an informal 15 minute 
presentation on Taxon's perspective on data integration, with a 
subsequent discussion.  The SMS group will later be focused on data 
integration Thursday afternoon -- sorry its after you leave, but I 
couldn't avoid it.

Let me know if this fails to meet our needs. Thanks,

Matt

PS I'm working on moving the SynCenter demo to luch to make the Tues 
morning data integration slot longer -- hopefully I'll know that by the 
end of the day.
