Dear all, Another thing Peter has asked me to seek input on is the need for a detailed, realistic curation specification that I can follow. Andre's 'thoughts on model curation and model repositories' goes some way towards this but it isn't formalised and this kind of document probably needs the input of more than one person. The proposed document also needs to take into account the current and future state of the repository, and provide guidelines to follow that will result in significant, consistent progress being made in curating the models in the repository. We need to define what is the job of the CellML team, and what is the job of the model authors.
In the 'current development' document on the CellML site, Matt has said that he would draft such a document, but that it was postponed until Andre arrived "Model curation document - matt will write an initial draft. (postponed till Andre gets here - somewhere between the 8th and 18th)" - what month was this? Is Andre coming again or was this referring to the CellML workshop? Regarding how I am approaching my work at the moment, different people are saying different things about how the models should be curated. So I am basically trying to figure out what I think the consensus is, and trying to be consistent with what I am doing. If I could work off a specification that tells me what I need to do and how to do it in a specific way, I think I could be quite a lot more productive. It would also allow me to identify what I have the skills to achieve and what I don't, and therefore what skills I need to develop. I'm primarily using skills that I've learned in the last 14 weeks or so, so perhaps we could identify how I could use the skills that I have learned in my studies more. Please comment.
