Kepler Breakout #1

Action items

Actor repository

  • Actor repository (Chad organizes, Laura and Shawn participate)
    • Need to determine how to display remote results in tree
      • Remote actor names in italics? or some other cue?
      • Probably should be a separate package manager for installing 'actor packages'
      • differentiating remote and local should make sense for both actors and data
  • Remote actor display in Kepler library (David)
    • Get documentation to display

UI redesign

  • Icons
    • Need policy guide for how to extend the icon set in a visually consistent way (Laura)

  • Dialogs
    • Workflow, Actor, Director dialogs (highest priority; developer TBD)

  • Semantic annotations (Shawn)
    • take out ontologies that are there now, add better ones
    • make a GUI for adding and removing ontologies from Kepler
    • keep the annotation dialogs in Kepler if possible
    • need semantic annotation of data, different than for actors

  • Query Builder
    • "Display" label -- discuss and decide how to change (Jing)

  • Actor configuration dialog
    • Need more space for identifier (LSIDs are long)
    • Double-click == open actor == look inside
    • Right-click then Configure to configure
      • Consider possibility of the IDE motif with a selectable property palette
    • Parameters -- should be scrollable list
    • Question about relative priority of UI tasks versus other tasks
      • Dialogs are not a show-stopper for Kepler, but still are very important from a user-acceptance perspective
