The workshop does not need to start from scratch. After the discussion at the pilot meeting there is a first approach available here: Providing Lists of Authors.
Summary of Workshop Results[edit]
Workspace/General[edit]
- Needs to be displayed in the short and medium list even if the select box shows a state - obviously the select box is not recognized by most of the participants
Actions menu
- most participants regard the action menu as confusing - actions can be put to the item version view
- delete should be separated from all other menu options to prevent deletion accidentally
View Item
- View Item is regarded as redundant
Use as Template - New from template
- The term 'new for template' caused irritations
- Varieties for 'Use as Template': Store as Template, Mark as Template, Copy to Template
- Varieties for 'New from template': Fetch Template Item, Copy from Item
General Application Layout[edit]
Help
- Participants can not distinguish between help (manual) and help (context) because both are part of a menu. Menus appear to be more general.
- The context help should be part of the H1 Header again
Tooltip [1]
- All participants wanted tooltips
- Participants are asked for genre, but they all agreed to have a different understanding
- Genre needs to be explained from the MPDL point of view: The expectation of all participants was that we should define what we understand by certain genres. After PubMan gives his definition of genre, they would be able to decide whether it fits their understanding
- e.g. Article
- It is not clear how the search is related to (workspace, general)
- A workspace search was proposed (or should just be called 'restrict to workspace')
View Item by State
- Drop down appears to be ok 2(drop down) : 1(checkbox) : 0(Radio)
- 3 drop down (with multiselect = +CTRL)
Providing Lists of Authors (Functional Prototype Submission)[edit]
- Add Creator List
- Rough Import Step1: The source media where creators are pasted from might be very different. Cut & paste is only the first most simple approach. It is only feasible for well structured lists.
- Define Structure Step2: The user should be able to choose the delimiters or even a citation format between Name, Family Name and between Creators
- Sorting Step3: Properly detected creators should be sortable afterwards
- To handle creator in a list was seen as a good improvement for the next version
Remark: The idea of locating creators in a map view was suggested
- Matching Creators to Affiliations
- The list of organizations was seen as too long to do a fas manual mapping. The mapping should happen with a preselected organization list.
Remark: A personal address book is regarded as very useful (Scientist pages)
Advanced Search[edit]
- Keywords search was requested (Functional issue)
Icons (Func. Prototype: Browsing and Displays)
- Proposals for various icons:
- Add User, Cancel, Edit, Help, Info, Search, Save, Released (Traffic Light Metaphor is already applied): All Participants agreed (3)
- Upload, Pending, Submitted: Most Participants agreed (2)
- Add File, Add Organization, Remove, ListView, Under Rework: Participants did not agree (1)
- Add Source, Add Title, Withdrawn: Need to be replaced
Methodology
- The work with an empty paper, glue and predefined components is quite challenging and slow. For further workshop a prototype screen shot is provided to work with
- Cut & paste is optional
- Questionnaire can be done with simple web forms or pdf forms
