Work Completed

  • I completed and closed Bard-59:  create the necessary UI and history tracking to go forward and backwards when traversing the RDF Page View.  This was completed with help from Nathan.
  • Added an additional task to Bard-56 (create a formatted RDF page for Raster data), which is started and is a work in progress.  Some changes had to be made to the Raster Ingester to add the additional metadata (see Bard-45).  I also continued adding metadata for Feature Datasets and the Schemas and updated the RDF Pages for these types to display the new information.  I spent some time reviewing information about Eclipse Forms since I was unfamiliar with them and that is what the RDF Pages are based on.  In addition to this, Jong found a website for describing GIS data with some already defined metadata elements and a few of its own, called Dublin Core Light 4G.  I added this set of elements to Bard's GIS plugin.
  • I spent 1.5 hours on an ACM Skillsoft course about XML (an introduction course about DTD, XML, etc) on Friday (mostly over lunch) since this seemed appropriate as we move towards adding metadata to Bard/MAEviz

Work Planned

This week went as planned.  Working on the formatted RDF pages required me to dig into some basics about eclipse forms.  I also continued a course I had started a while back to continue learning more about XML.
