Meeting with Helen White-Cooper on 29/06/2007

For the browsing interface

• what Helen wants is quite similar to the interface of BDGP (http://www.fruitfly.org/cgi-bin/ex/bquery.pl?qtype=report&est_id=LP09189):
• she wants to have an overview page listing all the images by the gene ids, in order to assist users who have no knowledge about what the repository has, similar to the view on http://www.fruitfly.org/cgi-bin/ex/bquery.pl?qpage=entry&qtype=summary
• she wants users to brose the images by gene ids. After choosing a gene id, the interface will present a collection of images of this gene id and group and order them by the strain. The images of each strain should be grouped together. This is similar to the view on the page http://www.fruitfly.org/cgi-bin/ex/bquery.pl?qtype=report&est_id=LP09189.
• ideally there should be some hyperlins with FlyBase through the gene ids, or something else.
• IMPORTANTLY: there are images from certain strains that she would like not to be published at this stage.

For the searching interface

• Helens wants a "search by gene id" interface. This should be the most basic searching facility.
• For the advanced search, Helen expects something similar to http://www.fruitfly.org/cgi-bin/ex/basic.pl

For the controlled vocabulary

• Helen has provided the list of strains whose images could be published.
• Helen has provided a clarification of the "stage description" and "comments" columns.
  • These two columns contain a mix of information about the stages and the description of the strength of the signals.
  • No controlled vocabulary is used for the description, although the team agrees with the terms.
  • It might be expected that Liz could provide a quick clean-up of the records.

Strain pattern (not complete)

• No signal
• spermatocytes to elongation
  • early spermatocytes
  • early-mid spermatocytes
  • mid spermatocytes
  • mid-late spermatocytes
  • late spermatocytes
• all spermatocytes
• somatic
  • AG
  • SV
  • terminal epithelium
• other
  • comets
  • cups
  • really

Actions

• The outcome of this meeting drives the first customisation of the browsing interface to the standard of BDGP:
  • browse information by the gene ids
  • group images of the same gene id by the strain name.
  • collect more feedbacks from the scientists on the meeting on 09/07/2007.
