[User Interface: Redesign]: Computational Tool card redesign

[gtsueng]

Issue Name

Computational Tool card redesign

Issue Description

We have previously developed a ComputationalTool schema and harvested metadata from a number of software/tool repositories and harmonized the metadata to the schema. During launch, the ComputationalTools were removed from the site altogether as they did not meet standards. WBS discussions following the launch down-prioritized and deferred ComputationalTool-related tasks.

While many ComputationalTool records would be much improved with some standardization and augmentation, these improvements would not mean much if the UI does not display the metadata elements that are useful for evaluating computational tools.

The Ask: We seek approval to start work on redesigning the display of ComputationalTool records in the NIAID Data Ecosystem Discovery Portal.

Based on the discussion during the biweekly meeting dated 2024.05.28 we will move forward with re-designing the computational tool card based on the bio.tools resource metadata.

@leandrocollares regarding this issue, the tool repository with the most organized/complete metadata seems to be bio.tools, so feel free to check out their site for inspiration.

The schema for ComputationalTools can be found here: https://discovery.biothings.io/ns/nde/nde:ComputationalTool

There are a lot of overlapping properties; however, the metadata people might consider filtering on for ComputationalTools may differ greatly from Datasets, so some coverage studies and Lyssna studies may be necessary to prioritize the metadata elements to display and/or include in the filters

Hi @hartwickma, @lisa-mml, @rshabman, @sudvenk,

Three mock-ups for the computational tool redesign are now available here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kkVdSEi-loxmc1aRm8vBcAQyy9Dg99Tfb5Zl0LzEN4c/edit#slide=id.g30742cc30d4_0_0

We ran a convenience sampling (no cost) Lyssna study on the three designs, but the results were fairly evenly split. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1q016iDAvsakEqzq8Y8xG6DIF6I3yBB0Rcoxr48z0jpk/edit#slide=id.g3040c568d7c_0_15

The Ask: Please let us know which (if any) design NIAID would like to move to staging. If there's no strong preference, or if you'd like us to merge some of the designs, just let us know and we'd be happy to do so.
