Re: [Gusdev-gusdev] O'Reilly Life Science conference

[Steve F. <sfi...@pc...>]

Folks-

here are topics i think we might want to cover in a talk about GUS. 
 thought i'd run this by you before i drew up an abstract.

suggestions?

 1. overview
          - applications using GUS so far
          - integrated system: db, schema, app framework, install 
system, wdk
 2. schema
          - the domains it covers
          - normalization
          - strong typing
          - MAGE compliance
          - subclassing
          - sample queries
          - strengths and weaknesses
                - s: completeness
                - s: CVs and strong typing.
                - s: robustness wrt query formulation
                - s: tracking
                - w: lack of modularity
                - w: must use our notion of tracking
          - modularity coming in the future?
          - compare to chado
    3. app framework
          - object layer
          - plugins
          - strengths and weaknesses
               - s: relatively easy to write a plugin
               - s: a number of plugins already available
               - w: doesn't use standards like bioPerl, GFF
               - w: plugins written without an engineering vision or 
standards
     4. wdk
          - show off the massive functionality in Plasmo and epcon
          - describe separation of content from form
          - describe configuration file and queries
     5. installation and documentation
          - install system covers installing schema and software
          - documentation is evolving and improving
          - schema browser
