another similar utility of iterative search is: after you compute signature enrichment with a query signature, proceed to a second query where you search for other compounds (or diseases, etc.) with similar signature enrichment. There the filter is not compound == gleevec, tissue == kidney, or other specific metadata, but rather the existence of metadata property names such as compound, disease, ...
Given signature query, various results are returned. Allow metadata filter to apply to the results. This answers questions like: Among signatures that are most similar to my query signature, identify the kidney ones.
One step further, is to count results by various metadata tags, and sort top metadata filters that can be used by the user.
Thanks a lot!
