[[http://www.phylo.org/index.html][CIPRes]] is a major multi-institutional research initiative in phyloinformatics and computational phylogenetics. One of their staff, Main.ShirleyCohen, has begun evaluating BDI.SDD_ for its utility to various aspects of the CIPRes effort and has produced a rather interesting spreadsheet, attached, comparing BDI.SDD_ to current CIPRes representations. The spreadsheet is based, where it can be, on criteria elucidated by Mike Dallwitz [[http://biodiversity.uno.edu/delta/www/compdata.htm][comparing DELTA to NEXUS]] facilities.

Shirley's analysis was based on 0.91b16, but most things of interest to her haven't changed. I've spent a little time with her going over some of BDI.SDD_ 0.91b25; the attachment represents a few changes from her original. Herewith I make subtopics for the few issues in the spreadsheet where she couldn't see how to represent the concept in BDI.SDD_. Some we clearly can do and I just ran out of time in our discussion. Some I don't see how to do, some I don't understand what's meant, and some we don't do (but maybe could easily). The major one we agreed(?) not to address in BDI.SDD_ 1.0 is character and state inheritance.

Because a version of this spreadsheet is and may circulate on the cipres-dev list, I have added a local version number in case it evolves here

Note 1: Implicit values are difficult, since in DELTA they have two meanings: a) Default values to be inserted globally into the data matrix (this will not be supported, but replaced with data passed up/passed down features, implicit values are simply those passed down from the root). b) values inserted, but then removed from natural language output because they are considered implicit by the human reader (plants are generally green so the absence of green is reported, but protozoa generally not green, so presence of green is reported!) -- Gregor

For some comparison between DELTA and BDI.SDD_, see [[http://www.DiversityCampus.net/Projects/TDWG-BDI.SDD_/SDD_DELTA_CompComplexity.html][Complexity of BDI.SDD_ versus DELTA]] and [[http://www.DiversityCampus.net/Projects/TDWG-BDI.SDD_/SDD_DELTA_Export2BDI.SDD.html][Exporting DELTA to BDI.SDD_]]). Note that these documents refer to BDI.SDD_ 0.9, some of the outer structures have changed since. I will try to update the documents as soon as I have time. -- Gregor

Please someone add some semantics to <nop>StructureOfTaxonNames in the table above. For me this is too ambiguous: whether an atomization of the name itself, or the arrangement of names into a class hierarchy, or something else is meant - then delete this note! -- Gregor
