Database Design & Linking with Publications

The next major step is to begin uploading publications and linking to a database. BACH to provide files, descriptions. Dane to create basic Access database (primary fields listed below).

The site can then use the database on a server to facilitate searches by: Author, Title, Date, Journal, Funding, Contact Info, and Affiliated Studies. These fields will be in the database, along with the filename of each publication that is posted. Proposal for 300-400 files. Depending on file size, this could require significant upgrades in server capacity. For short term (estimate 100-200 pubs) upgrade costs should be minimal.

Contract issues:

Naomi will facilitate extending Dane's original contract. He will bill for initial site setup per Phase 2 of the contract. This covered basic page structures, terms, etc. that were originally planned by Dane, John, and Amelia. Phase 1 involves the overall theme design details, which depends on the logo, etc., per item 1 above, and that portion will be invoiced after logo, etc. is provided.

Jan. 24, 2006 Notes

First Posting
The logo above is a "placeholder" version, designed by Dane Tovey. It is understood that this is not an "official" version. When a decision is made on another logo, the entire site design/template will be updated.

Future Plans
The ultimate goal is to allow BACH personnel to update various sections of this site. The web designer will make major design changes, etc., as needed.

SPAM prevention and E-mail addresses.
To reduce possible SPAM attacks, e-mail addresses will be displayed as images. Standard e-mail links on websites are picked up by "robot programs" that generate SPAM lists. The user will have to jot down the email and use their own method. Research will be done on other strategies.

Outstanding Action Items
Note: Completed items will be deleted at next posting.
The following information is needed to enhance the site.
1. Contact information update-done Jan 24.
2. Names and contact information for project managers who wish to post information on their research.
3. Updated Mission Statement--done Jan 24.
4. Updated text for Home page--done Jan 24.
5. Links to websites of interest.
6. List of awards.
7. Employment opportunities.
