[Linux-aus] Question around UX related grants

[Rowland Mosbergen]

Hi there,

I was curious if the previous Stemformatics grant means that I'm
disqualified from suggesting another grant.

If not, I thought about an idea around the UX related grants mentioned in
conjunction with Cartesian Creative.

The idea is around providing a stand alone application of a metadata
annotation validation and excel spreadsheet like functionality. It would
allow users to annotate large volumes of metadata while still providing an
ontology/validation system. Eg. 1500 samples need to be annotated in
Stemformatics. These samples need to be annotated against a controlled
vocabulary called an ontology.

The idea is that a standalone application could be connected into other web
based systems. I have received some feedback from other providers that this
might be useful.

I first suggested this for the 2016 Health Hack (attached) but I didn't
communicate my ideas very well. Since then I have provided a mockup to help
communicate this idea
<https://app.moqups.com/rowlandm/1xlCPCReH9/view/page/a6c9e06c4>

The concern I have now is that the solution/idea that I described
previously isn't scalable for the new world of single cell RNASeq (over
10,000 rows in a web based application is a lot). I think I would need to
get a UX expert to work with our team and the other interested providers to
define the outline of a solution. I'm unsure of the costs of this and even
if this would be considered worthwhile.

Would it be worthwhile to discuss this further with someone?

I have cc'ed the linux-aus mailing list because I am worried that something
might also exist that I don't know about. When I did look last year, there
didn't seem to be many out there. Most of them were specific solutions:

   1. Sufia (based on Hydra and PDCM) is for uploading files
   2. Picture Park is commercial and doesn't have an excel like interface
   3. AirBNB has a workflow process but not really a stand alone data
   annotation tool
   4. It's actually hard to find a batch annotation tool


Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Rowland
