Development Roadmap

February 2009

  • Incorporate 1/5/09 team feedback on existing interface components
    • Anatomy term search results - reorganize according to sketch
    • Gene search results - reorganize according to sketch
    • Taxonomic phenotype results page - add Order column for taxonomic grouping
    • Present various phenotypic results grouped by custom "character slim"
      • Requires slim development by team members (Wasila, Paula) and service implementation by Cartik
  • Taxon search interface
    • Mockup interface using dummy data within web application - request group feedback
      • Front page search interface and results table - may include intermediate results summary page
    • Design data service schema to be implemented by Cartik
    • Implement using live data service once developed by Cartik
  • Interface demo and feedback session - DECAP meeting, Feb. 27, 2009
    • Present screenshots and mockups
    • Possible live demo depending on data service performance progress
      • Services should return in no more than 2 seconds
      • Evaluate feasibility 2 weeks before meeting

March 2009

  • Mockup publication data interface within web application -- should these mockups be available for DECAP meeting in February?
  • Incorporate publication data into user interface
    • Incorporate publication links into annotation results displays
      • Columns referencing numbers of taxonomic phenotype or mutant phenotype match results will be accompanied by a column including number of publications referencing the search item
      • Link from publication count to a publication listing
    • Publication listing includes brief citation each of which links to a publication detail page
    • Publication detail page(s)
      • Full citation information
      • Display curator credits
      • Display or link to original matrix including free-text data and specimen listing
      • Display or link to all phenotype annotations resulting from publication
    • Requires publication data implementation in OBD by Cartik
    • Requires specimen data implementation in OBD by Cartik

April 2009

  • "Splashy" search entry page - we should have a more graphically capturing entry gateway for exploring the data content
    • One of the following:
      • Hierarchical term explorer
      • Visual explorer, using schematic drawings ("the prototypical fish")
      • Visual explorer using 3D scans of catfish (and eventually zebrafish when done).
    • Should explore various prototypes of these ideas using HTML mockups and get feedback from project team
    • Implement preferred interface
  • Possible user testing session in conjunction with RCN meeting at NESCent

May 2009

  • Taxonomy-based tree-mapped data perspective
    • View taxonomic phenotype annotation results organized by a phylogenetic tree
    • Group phenotypes as simplistic union of descendant nodes, rather than ancestral reconstruction
    • Use taxonomy as basis for phylogenetic tree
    • Develop HTML mockups in web application
    • Implement based on project team feedback
  • Implement appropriate scalable deployment of web application
    • Multiple application instances and load balancing

Release candidate - June 2009

  • Project team testing
  • Bug fixes
  • Overall performance evaluation

Public launch: ASIH meeting, Portland, Oregon - July 22, 2009
