BioSQL release v1.0.0
This is a release of the core BioSQL schema, not including recent extensions.
Note: open questions are in italics. If you have thoughts or feedback on any of the below, please email them to biosql-l@lists.open-bio.org.
- Update license for BioSQL and all its DDL and software scripts. Done. This is now the LGPL license for all schema files. --Hilmar 20:23, 21 February 2008 (EST)
- The current license refers to the 'same terms as Perl' and the Perl Artistic Licence. Not only does Perl now dual-license under Artistic License v2.0 or GPL (because the original Perl Artistic License v1.0 has problems), but also there isn't a good reason to tie the BioSQL license to that of Perl.
- Update, fix, or remove various ancillary files that don't seem to have been touched in a long time.
- Rename biosql-ora to biosqldb-ora for consistency with the other schema versions Done. --Hilmar 20:31, 21 February 2008 (EST)
- Regenerate HTML documentation from schema DDL (using sqlt) Doesn't work, sqlt seems to be broken at present. --Hilmar 21:11, 21 February 2008 (EST)
- Update Changes file. Done. --Hilmar 23:41, 22 February 2008 (EST)
- Update documentation in the repository. Done, for Biopython (see PDF) and BioJava/Oracle. Unfortunately, realized this not before, but only after branching off, so need to merge all changes to the branch. --Hilmar 12:06, 24 February 2008 (EST)
- Create biosql-release-1-0 branch. Done. --Hilmar 23:43, 22 February 2008 (EST)
- Remove from biosql-release-1-0 branch all schema modules or versions and all scripts that aren't release-ready yet, or are not yet or no longer supported. Done. --Hilmar 23:43, 22 February 2008 (EST)
- This includes the following:
- phylodb module DDLs
- phylodb ERD
- phy* scripts (depend on phylodb, and not up-to-date)
- load_itis_taxonomy.pl, tree-precompute.pl scripts (depend on phylodb, and not up-to-date)
- phylodb-topo-queries.sql (depends on phylodb)
- Can the HSQLDB version be tested by anyone for syntactic correctness and compatibility with a current revision of HSQLDB?
- This includes the following:
