We discussed sending undergraduate student to study for a few months (like Renan did) for example at SLAC. It is regarded as a great idea to give exposure etc. but funding will be hard. There are exchange programs with RMIT in Australia and the University of Warwick in the UK. NUST has exchange students. The students have to pay their own travel.
Renan
Renan has just finished finished the new pingerlod web site. The new thing is that it should be much easier now to modify the info texts. What Renan did was to put the texts into a separate file. It should be able to be easily edit this file without requiring a new war file to be installed on the server. Les has contacted the Apache server administrator to request uploading of the new war file. The admin is in the UK at the moment so there will be a delay. Once we have that we can easily modify the text to go with the web site. Renan needs to document this.The new version has been loaded on the server and some text added to describe how to use the map. However there is a bug that prevents the form executing the map. Renan is working on it.
Renan is writing his thesis paper. Right now, he is writing a Glossary and Taxonomy of all terms used in the Ontology. Later, he will document the ontology (not only the definition of the terms but also their relationship with each other and their properties). Since the ontology is the core of the data model of our semantic solution, this will be very helpful for anyone who uses our system; both a developer of the system and a possible user. He will think of a good way to upload this stuff as a documentation for our Wiki on Confluence.
