13 Arctic Data Center Design Session
13.1 Objectives
In this session, we will present new tooling ideas and work collaboratively with researchers to design useful new dat management features, particularly:
- Metadata editing and submission tools
- Custom award and project pages for data collections
13.2 Project view mockups
Mockups allow us to envision a feature before we start the process of implementing it, and therefore let’s us consider several design iterations before we invest in code development.
The goal of the Project Views feature for our data systems is to enable more custom views of collections of data along either disciplinary themes or organizational groupings such as research projects or lab groups. Our initial design supports:
- Custom project pages that can present:
- Specific collections of data that are filtered from the whole
- A project logo and high-level title
- Project descriptions, images, and results in markdown
- Custom filters for subsetting and finding data
- Project View mockups
13.3 Editor review
Similarly, we are constantly evolving the design and features of our metadata editing editing system, MetacatUI. In this session we will look at a new set of features for MetacatUI, and get feedback on what works and needs improvement.
