short term roadmap

This is a section on the short term development objectives for the physiome project.

Short term goals

  1. Reestablish the ontology-based access to AnatML files in the Physiome Plone website.
  2. Generate information on a Project Page using ontologies for (i) organ systems & organs, (ii) high level organ function and (iii) research groups. E.g. Cardiovascular system + heart + myocardial activation + Auckland & Oxford & NUS ==> a project page for this collaboration Peter needs to come up with suitable descriptions of all current groups for the research group ontology.
  3. Create web editing facility for adding to the high level organ function and research group ontologies.
  4. Create metadata files for each file containing information such as FieldML models, data (including images), graphical cartoons. The top down ontology DAG would perform searches on this 'bottom up' metadata to construct the 'top down' links (effectively a cache to speed up searches).
  5. Create graphical cartoons for all organs based on a cartoon-like rendering of the appropriate FieldML files. This requires work by Shane to create a 'cartoon' rendered in Cmgui. For the organs that we have not yet modelled, these cartoons will be drawn by hand.
  6. Implement MozCmgui within the AnatML pages.
  7. Create transformation com files for orienting a FieldML model component relative to its parent in the AnatML DAG.
  8. Reassess the use of Corba for inter-process communication. Some form of communication will be needed between the physiome software packages (openCMISS, MozCmgui, PCEnv).
  9. Create code for generating MozCmgui user interface buttons from the anatomical ontologies to control visibility of the anatomical models.

For December 4th

Prototype Physiome site product that shows:

  • project spaces
  • uploading of data
  • annotation of data against the ontology
  • member editing of organ systems and function categories
  • dynamically rendered views of projects, organ systems and function categories
  • ontological navigation of physical anatomy and organ systems and function categories

Peter needs a canned demonstration of this by next Monday (a series of screen shots at least).

For 18th December

  • Functioning prototype that completes function not completed in the above. I presume some of the screenshots will be very canned.
  • Description of the relationship between the subversion repository for physiome data and this physiome site products, and especially the permissions of members and how this will fit with read/write rights of the subversion repository.

For mid-January 2007

Public release of Physiome site product. The details of what goes into this release have not been detailed yet. It's important that the site can be used by people for work and the data they load conforms to our expectations of annotation and minimisation of redundancy (this requires the subversion and by reference model of project spaces which is not described in detail yet).
