With the Data Catalog’s updated project details page, scientists can engage with project metadata and projects’ data collections in new and exciting ways. They can:
- more clearly discern different metadata categories
- view additional metadata details in the new side panel
- easily cite a given project resources via a new citation button
- more easily identify and access related highlighted resources
- identify relevant data collections by text searching their title, species, specimen type, or modality
- see when a data collection was last updated via detailed time stamps
- navigate back to Data Catalog via breadcrumbs
Project description & data overview
The top of the project details page features a text description summarizing the project.
It also features an overview of the species, modalities, techniques, and specimen types involved.
Other project metadata
A new side panel offers additional project metadata, including detailed links to licenses, funding sources, and protocols.
Note that if a project has both primary authors and general contributors, the primary authors are shown by default.
When the contributors are expanded, both primary author and general contributors are show.
Citation button
Click the dropdown to view the citation.
Then click the “Copy citation” button to copy it to your clipboard.
Highlighted resources
Click the buttons to access the highlighted resources. Project related resources can include:
Data visualizations, e.g. via ABC Atlas
Specimen metadata tables & their file manifest
Links to access raw or processed data files:
Other related resources, e.g. documentation:
Data collections
A project’s data collections are listed at the bottom of the project details page.
Scientists can see the total number of available data collections (20 in the example screenshot) as well as collection metadata:
- Name & description
- Species
- Specimen type
- Modality
- Resources, e.g. a link to an archive to access the files
- Last updated timestamp
- Status, e.g. in progress vs completed
- Accessibility: e.g. open vs restricted
- Number of specimens in the collection
Scientist can text search across collection titles, species, specimen types, or modalities to find relevent collections quickly.
Note that when searching, the indicator changes to how many of the total collections match your query. Remove the search by clicking the circled X in the search field.
Breadcrumb navigation
Breadcrumbs indicate the page hierarchy and allow scientists to quickly get back to the central Data Catalog from a project details page.
