Update from Adam and Karen re:DE integration

Interface for standalone version

DE integration

• Adam met with Andy Muir and other yesterday to talk about DE integration

• viz cannot hold whole tree in browser and relies on interaction with underlying database to send tree in chunks

• DE does not currently have a database for trees in its data model (plan is to only store files, not data)

• Future plans include multiple representations / views of a single files, but this will be in place no earlier than the fall

Timeline

• need iPTOL tools integrated for the EOT workshops, also want to publish viewer at some point

• first workshop is early July at BSA, but unclear what is on agenda and whether iPTOL will figure prominently

• likely that we will need some version of integrated viewer before the DE is ready for full integration

Short-term integration

• can we call the standalone version from the DE in a way that seems relatively seamless for the user?

Viz development still required

• lots of open JIRA tickets, many for trait evolution

• need to make sure these are still a priority, and if so, get them done before the workshops

• TE use cases are a priority for the integrated viewer

Subcontracts

• Kris has no time allocation to iPlant due to lack of subcontract

• NSF and U of A approval in place

• KC to submit new budgets and statements of work for Field Museum and NESCent subcontracts
