Key agenda items were discussions around the use of Fedora as a repository for BHL content. Chris Freeland provided an overview of the BHL applications, staff from the Encyclopedia of Life discussed possible integrations, and development desiderata were explored.
The planning work on BHL Europe as well as other international partners and their impact on BHL technology were covered.
The out of town group all stayed at the Sheraton Commander in Cambridge. The "She-Raton" was a regular haunt for BHL meetings in Cambridge. One of my favorite photos is below, capturing participants walking from the Commander to the Museum of Comparative Zoology. I call it, "March of the Bioinformaticians".
