Scenarios

Implemented (Beta Release)

• Search for pictures or collections (these searches have to be separated as the search result lists will look different)

Not implemented

• Search for albums (this could be connected to the search for collections as the search result list will look the same for both containers)

UC_IM_SR_01 Do simple search

Status/Schedule

• Status: implemented
• Schedule: Beta Release

Description

1. A free text search field is displayed where the user can decide whether he wants to search for pictures or for collections (per default, the system will search for pictures) .
2. When searching for pictures, the system searches through following data:
   • metadata values of all public pictures within released collections
   • [not implemented] metadata values of all private pictures within released collections the user has at least Collection Viewer rights
3. When searching for collections, the system searches through following data:
   • metadata values of all released collection metadata
4. The system displays the search result (see either UC_IM_BD_01 View picture list or UC_IM_BD_03 View collection/album list), together with the search query.

Actors Involved

• User

UC_IM_SR_02 Advanced search for pictures

Status/Schedule

• Status: implemented
• Schedule: Beta Release

Description

1. The user can define several search strings.
2. Each search sting bases on following selection:
   1. selection of a released collection
   2. selection of one or several metadata attributes within this collection
   3. definition of a search string (metadata value) for each metadata attribute based on following restrictions:
      1. when the above selected metadata attribute does not use a list of predefined vocabulary (defined in the metadata profile)
         • one search string entered by the user or
         • for numbers: one search range entered by the user: maximum two values combined by a smaller then (<), bigger than (<), or equal (=), e.g. < 3, > 3, = 3
      2. when the above selected metadata attribute does use a list of predefined vocabulary (defined in the metadata profile)
         • selection of one value from the predefined vocabulary for this attribute (e.g. via a drop down menu)
3. All search strings within one collection can be connected to each other via the boolean operators AND, OR, NOT. A search within several collections is always connected via an OR (as a picture can only be in one collection)
4. When the user triggers the search, the system displays the search result (see UC_IM_BD_01 View picture list), together with the search query, which can be modified by the user.
