[seek-taxon] concept mapper scenario for review

[Robert Liu]

    I sent this email some weeks ago to seek-taxon at ecoinformatics.org. I am not sure if all of you did not receive it. In the previous email, I attached the installation program msi file directly. The email server might reject it because of security issue. Now I changed it into zip file. Hope it could go through this time. 
   
   
  Hello:
   
  Here enclosed please find the new version of ConceptMapper. Follow instruction below for a quick test.
   
  1. installation & configiration
  Download and save the attached ConceptMapper.msi file to yor local computer. Double click it to run the installation program. Accept default values in the popup windows. After you install the program, you can launch ConceptMapper by choosing start->all programs->ConceptMapper -> ConceptMapper. You can also open the help document by choosing  start->all programs->ConceptMapper ->Help. You can also open the help document by clicking the question mark on the toolbar or choosing Help->ConceptMapper Help from the main menu. 
   
  Follow the quick start section in the help document to setup the database connection.

  b. open 'buttercup' example database
  c. select 'Kartesz 2004' as the According to. Names will be retrieved for the selected According to and Names list will be updated with the returned names.

  d. Select 'Ranunculus' from the Names list and click 'Get'.
  e. click in the right side concept tree to make it the active one to accept concept.

  g. select any concept from the left tree ('Kartesz 2004'), the related concepts in 'FNA-03 1997' will be surrounded by blue rectangles. The associted relationships will be shown the relationship list with different colors for concepts from different According TOs. The currently selected concept will be surrounded by blue rectangle too. If there are more than one relationship author, you can also choose a specific author from the dropdown list on the top of the relationship list to show relationships created by that author.
  h. Select a concept from one of the concept tree, and right click to popup the context menu, choose 'Edit Concept' to popup the tabbed dialog window where you can explore detail information about the selected concept.
