not sure I like the idea of a separate category, seems to me adding some special piece of metadata to models just to make a repository dump look pretty isn't the way to go. It would be nicer to make use of the keywords (which are genuinely useful metadata to more than just the model repository), possibly with the addition of a guided part of the metadata editing workflow which prompts the user to choose at least one of the predefined "category" keywords and a filter smart enough to put models without one of the special keywords into an "other" category. This way the main repository page layout could be easily changed to add or remove keywords that get pulled out as categories without having to change the models. It would also be nice if we can analyse all the repository searching to keep track of the most popular keywords and adjust the categories on the main page accordingly :-) _______________________________________________ cellml-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://www.cellml.org/mailman/listinfo/cellml-discussion
