+
+### Shared Field Measurement Protocols
+
+- Review [draft document of sampling protocols](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iP8b97kmOyPmETQI_aWbgV_1V6QiKYLblq1jIqXLJ84)
+- Interest in sharing across teams?  Dave Lee can circulate among the other TERRA teams and work to get feedback after the Traits Standards Committee and the Cat5 team are satisfied with the document.
+- Interest in additional measurements at MAC?
+
+### Data and meta-data formats
+
+- Planning to support ICASA / NARDN, BRAPI
+- Developing a cross-vocabulary thesaurus
+- Review / comment on drafts:
+  - [list of available ontologies, vocabularies and meta-data formats](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qu3LYomGIiC4Lmzler-bH8jvyfR-GA6lDl5Go0NhO2c/edit#gid=0)

+Scientific legacy workflows are often developed over many years, poorly documented and implemented with scripting languages. In the context of our cross-disciplinary projects we face the problem of maintaining such scientific workflows. This paper presents the Workflow Instrumentation for Structure Extraction (WISE) method used to process several ad-hoc legacy workflows written in Python and automatically produce their workflow structural skeleton. Unlike many existing methods, WISE does not assume input workflows to be preprocessed in a known workflow formalism. It is also able to identify and analyze calls to external tools. We present the method and report its results on several scientific workflows.
