Semantics In Kepler

Difference between version 27 and version 26:

Line 29 was replaced by line 29
- Second, we would like scientists to be able to discover semantically compatible actors and data while composing a workflow. This type of search would involve two possible GUI mechanisms. First, a toggle could be used that allows the user to only display actors and data in the left-hand pane that are semantically compatible to the current workflow displayed in the Kepler canvas. When a user selects the toggle, the system would impose a constraint in which each potential actor or data set is screened to see if it could be connected in any "semantically compatible" way, based on I/O signature annotations, to actors and data in the workflow. When the workflow canvas is blank, all actors and data would appear in the list, but as actors and data are added to the canvas, constraints are imposed that reduce the number of actors and data displayed in the left-hand pane. Second, the user should be able to select any combination of one or more actors and data sets that are currently on the canvas (i.e., part of the current workflow) and right click to "Show compatible actors and data sets." This search effectively launches a semantic query against the I/O signature annotations of the selected actors and displays compatible actors and data in the left-hand pane.
