Proposed change for what qualifies for addition of "contributor" annotation #605

Open lpalbou opened 5 years ago

lpalbou commented 5 years ago

Currently, any modification of a model will get a user as a contributor of a model.

Proposal:

distinguish curation vs metadata about a model
a user will only be cited as a contributor of a model if he add or change curation data

Meta Data examples:

node locations
renaming a model

Curation Data examples:

adding/removing/updating a node or edge
adding/removing/updating an evidence

In addition, it is possible to count the number of facts for a given contributor, so any contributor could be credited for a certain percentage of facts/evidences he added/modified to a given model.

Would mostly involve changes to Minerva.

Early on, we decided we also wanted to know who was moving stuff around, etc. The theory at the time was that when it can time to do "real" statistics, the extra noise from the "layout" type annotations would just be ignored.

@kltm we also discussed the statistics indeed and it is a desired feature as well, although we have to think on how to represent it simply in the UI. We can discuss it later as there are a few other priorities before that one.

But it's not entirely unrelated to https://github.com/geneontology/noctua/issues/606 where we also need more control on when to automatically create date & contributor annotations.
