Chado Natural Diversity Module Working Group
The Chado Natural Diversity Working Group has been established with the aim of getting the Chado Natural Diversity Module into the production version of Chado.

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 was 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
Several working group participants met at a January 2010 GMOD Satellite Meeting during PAG 2010. Discussion has continued in teleconferences and on the Chado mailing list. The design has changed considerable during this time. It has become more Chadoesque: it is a very flexible and generic design.
As of July 2010, the schema is undergoing final tweaks before it is moved into production Chado.
