<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi there,</div><div><br></div><div>I was curious if the previous Stemformatics grant means that I'm disqualified from suggesting another grant.</div><div><br></div><div>If not, I thought about an idea around the UX related grants mentioned in conjunction with Cartesian Creative. </div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.<br></div><div><br></div><div>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 <a href="https://app.moqups.com/rowlandm/1xlCPCReH9/view/page/a6c9e06c4">help communicate this idea</a></div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Would it be worthwhile to discuss this further with someone?<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have cc'ed the linux-aus mailing list because I am worried that something might also exist that I don't know about.
