Background and Timeline
This section describes important events in the development of the module. Detailed discussion of functionality is a separate section below.
2007
The initial version of the Natural Diversity Module was developed by several people associated with NESCent. The initial application was heliconius research. This first version (and subsequent versions) are directly inspired by the Genomic Diversity and Phenotype Data Model (GDPDM), which comes out of Cornell. The GDPDM has great documentation and is also described in this presentation.
2009
In the fall of 2009, Sook Jung of Washington State downloaded the initial version (becoming the first known user outside heliconius) and started looking at it with the goal of using for GDR, a plant genome database. Sook found that a number of things weren't clear, and her input led to a rethinking of the design, and to the formation of this working group.
2010
January 2010 GMOD Satellite Meeting
Several working group participants met twice during PAG 2010, immediately before the January 2010 GMOD Meeting.

- The beta natural diversity module is in Soureforge. This includes some documentation, and the schema definitions.
- The module is based heavily on the Genomic Diversity and Phenotype Data Model (GDPDM), which comes out of Cornell, and also has nice documentation. The GDPDM is also described in this presentation.
