Dear All, The intention of this discussion was to decide on a list of items for a drop-down list of predefined terms that would be available when choosing 'key words' for a new model and which would be the list of terms used to display models on www.cellml.org/models (together with the

I really don't like the idea of giving a model a keyword of other. Hopefully the repository will be smart enough to automatically add models to the other listing if they don't have any of the other predefined key words. And then if other is taken out of this list of mandatory keywords you can

I think that list is a good start for a top level set of terms. I agree with Andre that other should not be a selectable term. I would probably offer a primary keyword which forces a selection from the current list of terms ('none of these') being one of the items, and then a dynamic set of free

Actually, I'd venture to say that the majority of them aren't models of human biological systems. A lot of them are animal models or based on experiments done in non-human cell lines (for example Xenopus oocytes (frog) are commonplace for cell cycle experiments,) and there are also a number of

A separate phylogeny attribute is probably also needed. It is not clear whether all the models are meant to pertain to human physiology. One example certainly does not: # Baylor, Hollingworth, Chandler, 2002, 'Comparison of Simulated and Measured Calcium Sparks in Intact Skeletal Muscle

So for example someone's trying to build a large model but the only components (or data to build components) available are from non-matching species? So the LFID (I looked it up but it went over my head) provides a way we can do that which is more precise and flexible than simply referring to NCBI

Some of those are subsets of others. You might want to generalise a bit more and then fit some of the useful specifics into that. I would be interested to see what you come up with. cheers Matt On 6/6/07, James Lawson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks, Tommy is currently working on a sorting

One thing I have found useful in other taxonomy/keyword type web interfaces (e.g., see drupal) is that when entering such keywords the interface dynamically completes the terms and/or presents alternatives based on what the user enters. I'd imagine such an interface would work well at pulling
