Make Templates searchable for authors or institution

[frsommer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Make Templates searchable for authors or institution, so i can look for e.g. proteomics templates created from someone specific or from e.g. RPTU i rely on some more than on others since they have more the same workflow as me, gets especially interesting if templates start to accumulate...

Describe the solution you'd like add tag creator/submitter and affiliation to templates

Describe alternatives you've considered none

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Does search by tags (b) cover this case for you? If you create a template you can freely choose what tags to include and even create your own.

Or do you want this handled differently?

[frsommer]

perfect, just never submitted a template, until now all templates have just a methodology tagged as i see it?

[Freymaurer]

The data stewards used methology, substrat and also enpoint repositories as far as i know. But there might be more @Brilator @omaus

To my understanding, there are currently four layers:

• organisation: DataPLANT (=curated) or others (=community)
• endpoint repository (ER): backed by ontology
• tags: any free-text tag you would like to add (could at some point be backed by ontology)
• authors: a block of info about the main contributors

Two things that were under discussion at some point (and I've lost the thread to that discussion) are Protocol Type and Protocol REF. Those are special kinds of building blocks (i.e. part of isa.assay sheet itself, not the metadata). However, I think they somewhat also relate to "methodology".

Actually, back to your original question whether templates are "searchable for authors or institution". They are currently not.

@Freymaurer can you implement that fields organisation, authors, ER are searchable? This might require a redesign of the search fields. Rather than two fields "Search by protocol name" and "Search for tags" make it one and add a radio button selection for filters or the like.

Question: Why don't you encode the required fields as tags... The advantage would be not to change the search field whenever we need additional metadata. Would this be an option?

[Brilator]

Why don't we back the tags with an adaptable ontology?

[Freymaurer]

Added an option to search authors or organisations. Will be part of Swate 0.6.4 🎉

Can be triggered by typing "/o" or "/a" for organisations and authors respectively. Normal mode is triggered by "/n" or "/reset". Will add docs for this :books:
