SEEK Taxon – Going Forward. Strategic Objective. Integrate concept resolution services with Kepler Embedded within Kepler External to Kepler but provide results to Kepler. *Both require UI since there is some user interaction involved. Still to Do to Accomplish Strategic Objective.
E N D
Strategic Objective • Integrate concept resolution services with Kepler • Embedded within Kepler • External to Kepler but provide results to Kepler *Both require UI since there is some user interaction involved
Still to Do to Accomplish Strategic Objective • Develop algorithms for concept resolution • Acquire data for demonstration purposes • Develop concept-relating tool/services for applying concepts to data • Develop concept-resolution tool/services
Final Goals • Meet strategic objective • Provide broad impact across community needing concept resolution services
Issues • Limited time • Limited developer resources • Which user group(s) should we target to make the broadest impact?
Interim Goals • Identify primary user group(s) for concept relating tool/services. • Identify primary user group(s) for concept resolution tool/services. • Employ a user-centered design process to meet targeted user group needs.
Who are Our Users? • We are trying to solve issues of concept changes across time and/or across geographic regions and just who are the users trying to solve those problems?
Identified Target User Groups • Providers of Data • Taxonomists • Aggregators • Publishers • Users of the Data • Amateur taxonomists • Scientists • Ecologists marking up datasets • Ecologists trying to answer broad-scale global questions • Ecologists trying to help policymakers make decisions

Analysis Set vision Include usability in project plan Multidisciplinary team Usability goals and objectives Competitive product analysis User profiles Task analysis User scenarios User performance requirements Design Phase Brainstorm concepts and metaphors Screen flow & navigation model Walkthrough design concepts Pencil and paper design Low-fi prototypes Usability testing on low-fi High-fi detailed design Usability testing on hi-fi Document standards and guidelines Create design spec User-Centered Design Process • Implementation • Ongoing heuristic evaluation • Work closely with dev • Usability testing • Deployment • Use surveys to get feedback • Conduct field studies on actual use • Check objectives using usability testing
Proposed Plan • Identify primary user group(s) for concept relating tools/services. • Identify primary user group(s) for concept resolution tools/services. • Develop user profiles for both. • Conduct task analysis for both. • Develop scenarios for both. • In parallel, while five previous items are occurring, obtain demo data and develop concept resolution algorithms. • Evaluate • Implement low-fi prototypes. • Evaluate • Construct development schedule. • Implement high-fi prototypes. • Evaluate • Decide how to integrate concept resolution tool/services with Kepler (internal or external?) • Implement concept resolution tool/services with Kepler. • Evaluate
