[Treebase-devel] Metadata forms for minimal information reporting standards

[Hilmar L. <hl...@ne...>]

Hi all,

I thought this may be relevant to some of the on-going efforts at  
building a MIAPA-compliant metadata collection form or tool for  
annotating phylogenetic trees or data, such as for deposition into  
TreeBASE. This is an input form built apparently using Orbeon [1], for  
creating a MIIDI-compliant [2] metadata record:

This is work by Tanya Gray and David Shotton, both of whom are  
involved in the DryadUK project.   One of the ideas here that the  
resulting xml file could then be submitted to Dryad along with the  
data object(s) itself. But that concept may well apply to TreeBASE  
too. (Is Laurel subscribed to this ist?)
