Web UI first iteration

Specifications for an initial implementation of the Phenoscape web user interface. Drawings of these interfaces can be found here.

Entry page

Start with 4 search entry points:

• Anatomy
• Taxonomy
• Genes
• Publications

After clicking one of the entry points, the page dynamically displays a corresponding search interface.

Anatomy

• User is presented with a search field, which autocompletes terms from the anatomy ontology.
• As terms are highlighted in the autocomplete field, a term info panel displays metadata.
• Once an anatomy term has been selected, the user can press a Search button to retrieve a summary of database results about that term.

Taxonomy

• User is presented with a search field, which autocompletes terms from the taxonomy ontology.
• As terms are highlighted in the autocomplete field, a term info panel displays metadata.
• Once a taxonomy term has been selected, the user can press a Search button to retrieve a summary of database results about that term.

Annotation summary page

Summary is grouped into rows lumped by qualities.

• For each quality, there are 3 columns:
  • n annotations in p taxa
  • n annotations in p genes
  • n annotations in p publications
• There is also a checkbox next to each row - the user can select rows, and view the annotations summary counts for the intersection of the selected rows.
• There are also buttons or links to view annotations for "All Taxa", "All Genes", or "All Pubs".
• All of these annotation count summaries are links to annotation list pages.

Taxonomy summary page

Summary is grouped by anatomy terms, and then qualities within. Within each anatomy term grouping, the display is the same as the anatomy search results.

• The anatomy term "header" acts as a row in the table displaying the union of the results for the qualities within it.
