Open punkish opened 2 years ago

Everyone has a different concept of what is a dashboard, so let's figure this out together.

Please use this issue to brainstorm what dashboards should be available on BLR.

IIUC, BLR is a tool to search for treatments. So on a dashboard I would expect to see the favorite queries and their results. The dashboard user could quickly access their most wanted treatments and see when a new relevant treatment is published.

The dashboard user could quickly access their most wanted treatments

That would require somehow identifying and remembering a particular user, and all the consequent hassles of creating such a system and tangling with GDPR requirements

we started discussing dashboards in 2014 at the last meeting of pro-iBiodiv and continued it to the begin of the BLR website, but then did not follow suit. We have also a series of dashboards done for Jeremey

here are the tools and explanations. Furthermore Marcus build a tool that we used to create dashboards for this article and some presentations. just replace

Still the basic idea is to create a profile for our main users, that is a scientist, a taxon, a collection, a journal for which a series of about six dashboards would be presented, with the options to get more.

We have some notes on this, but I need to get them when I am back next week.

If I am searching for Agosti in TB, and provide standardized charts as well as further options, then there is no GDPR issue.

Yes, that's how I understand dashboards in software, as a customizable surface that provides an overview of the properties most relevant to the user.

and all the consequent hassles of creating such a system and tangling with GDPR requirements

Why? Even if you make it involve server and cookies, I don't see any PII the server would require. That said, there's no requirement for an involvement of the server (and cookies) as this could well be achieved client-side with local storage.

@punkish you mentioned there has been no response from us. In fact there has been, see eg July 27?!

myrmoteras commented 2 years ago

the dashboards are one of the points to be discussed and to be readay the latest for the Disentis meeting. Will be once again a topic at Sprint1, including the definition of the users (author, taxon, journal, institution/collection, etc.) https://github.com/plazi/arcadia-2/issues/42
