Curtis Dyreson, Ben Brandt, and Will Pearse will review the major goals for the Symbiota2 software project.
1) Provide RESTful web services so that data can be easily incorporated into a scientific workflow,
2) Build a plugin architecture to ease the development of new features,
3) Create a database abstraction layer to include a wide variety of backend database management systems,
4) Increase data utility by supporting analytical and visualization tools,
5) Separate the Graphical User Interface (GUI) from other processing so that new GUIs can be used, and
6) Enhance the data collection by making it easier to add new kinds of data and work offline.
