Notes

1. Accepting Last Week's Minutes: Accepted

   • Ongoing conversation with Gianluigi
   • @Jason will get the presentation for the website
   • SPIM story was created
   • @Jason still needs to talk to Curtis about ImageJ

2. EMDB Demo

   • @mage/webemdb/publications/ for a demo view of the work
   • EMDB Presentations page shows a good number of publications added
   • 'Show All' will display all the entries available
     • Gets XML and Gifs from project for presendation
     • Can view XML directly if desired
     • IMod visualization shows various ways to view the data
       • OMERO viewer shows MRC image
       • Additional annoations viewable
       • Offers a resized map for web-browser viewing
       • Where available, offers PDB protien data
       • Still needs some controls to allow optional viewing modes
   • EMAN2 example entry: @mage/webemdb/entry/1080/
     • Shows particles and raw data
     • Allows filtering and script processing
       • fft, merdian, median2, and log filters
       • nonlinear anisotropic diffusion & movie ROI scripts
   • Discussion:
     • Jean-Marie: Why use this over their existing tools?
       • Richer presentations, collaborative features, online analysis
     • Donald: is it possible to unify the "publication" efforts
       • Three currently: JCB, ASCB, EMDB
       • They all have a central list of entities
       • Nice to have a common presentation/representation between parties
       • cF. AlternativeStorage and RDF
   • Christoph's Presentation
     • Discussed how they handle the XML definiation and use of RDF data
       • Their properties are easier to use then standard XML represenations
       • Easier to add metadata, making it very extensible
       • These additional attributes are very useful for Tomogram data
     • ImageStacks and naming
       • How do we deal with stacks of images?
       • Each image in a stack needs some sort of unique URL for naming
     • Useful relationships to expose would be:
     • Image appears in the same coordinate frame
     • Images related by process steps
     • Will: Would be nice to have a processing/image chain
     • Chris: Need a balance between flexibility and understanding of data types
       • Donald: Would be good to find what is coming between publishing requirements
       • Jason: This would also have scientific benefit
   • Concrete plan:
     • Jean-Marie: Should use the existing EMDB schema as a starting point

3. Other points

   • Will carry on for SPIM converstaion on Thursday
