Hi Arek,
Thank you for your offer of help.
Here are some examples, and if you can do something with them that would be great:-

EMAGE text expression annotation dataset has attribute "Atlas ontology ID of tissue (text annotation) " ie the ID of the anatomy ontology component that has been annotated, but users would like to know the component name, component path, developmental stage and so on for that ID. These attributes are in the dataset Anatomy components (component details), where the common attribute is ID (timed stages).

From the datasets Anatomy components (component details), and Anatomy components (including subcomponents), users would like to know if the anatomy components they are interested in have gene expression annotated in EMAGE. Details of the annotation (gene, strength, pattern etc) are in the EMAGE text expression annotation dataset. As above, the common attribute is the ontology ID.

The EMAGE submission dataset contains data regarding an individual assay submitted to EMAGE. However it does not have details of the detection reagents (probes) used, these details are in the EMAGE experiment dataset. Users would be interested in the probe details for EMAGE submissions that they have found. There are several common attributes between these datasets but the most obvious one would be the EMAGE ID. In the other direction, users might search for probes in the EMAGE experiment dataset and want to know more details about the EMAGE submission.

The EMAGE submission dataset does not have details of spatial expression annotation, this is in the EMAGE spatial expression dataset. It is likely that users would want to know if a submission they had found has spatial expression annotated. In the other direction, users looking for spatial expression might want to know more details about the submission. The EMAGE ID would be the common attribute again here.

I hope that this makes sense but obviously let me know if you need more information.

Regards,
Peter.

Hi Peter,
i did not make myself clear. I was not talking about bringing user defined linking back in. I was more thinking along the lines that there are typically certain datasets and that your users should like to link in order to do their favourite multi-dataset queries. If you tell us what they are we'll be able to preconfigure the interface such that these queries become possible again without users being forced to do the GUI gymnastics as they used to do in 0.7.

We just need concrete examples of multi-datasets queries that your users typically do and we could preconfigure them for you if it makes sense.

As i mentioned in my previoius email, in the future you will be able to do such things on the central portal yourself but this is ... in the future.

For now we need an email from you with concrete examples so we can see if we can help you and keep your users happy :)

    Hi Arek,
    I just meant linking in the v0.7 sense of using
    importables/exportables in order for the user to get attributes
    from separate datasets. I can give details of the
    importables/exportables I used if that's useful. However it sounds
    from the replies from Jonathan and Syed that its possibly not that
    straightforward to bring that type of configuration into a v0.8 model?
    Regards,
    Peter.

            This is a pity particularly for us because the EMAGE
            implementation relies
            on this feature quite heavily.


        Hi Peter,
        it would be helpful if could suggest what type of linking you
        are after.
        This can be pre-configured for you on BMC so your users would
        not be
        affected. In the future we'll be able to do add your source
        yourself and
        configure it in the Central Registry  through our
        configuration tool
        MConfigurator but for now you need to do via email :)

                Hello Peter,

                1. EMAP anatomy ontology database is included: it is
                under the "Search by
                organism" tab, under vertebrates.
                2. User-definable linking is not currently implemented
                in 0.8.
                3. There is a problem with the 0.7 configuration that
                prevents these
                filters and attributes from being imported into 0.8:
                in your configuration
                XML (available at http://biomart.emouseatlas.**
                
org/biomart/martservice?type=**configuration&dataset=**EXPRESSION_TEXT_TB<http://biomart.emouseatlas.org/biomart/martservice?type=configuration&dataset=EXPRESSION_TEXT_TB
                
<http://biomart.emouseatlas.org/biomart/martservice?type=configuration&dataset=EXPRESSION_TEXT_TB>>)


                there is one MainTable/key pair listed at the top of
                the XML:

                
<MainTable>EXPRESSION_TEXT_TB_**_EXPRESSION_TEXT_TB__main</**MainTable>
                <Key>OID_109_key</Key>

                However, certain attributes and filters refer to other
                keys. E.g.:
                <FilterDescription displayName="Experiment ID"
                displayType="text"
                field="oid_108"
                hideDisplay="true"**internalName="oid_108_filter"
                key="OID_108_key" legal_qualifiers="like" qualifier="like"
                tableConstraint="main"/>

                And

                <AttributeDescription default="true"
                displayName="Emage ID"
                field="accession_1037"
                internalName="accession_1037"**key="OID_1037_key"
                linkoutURL="http://www.**emouseatlas.org/emagewebapp/** 
<http://emouseatlas.org/emagewebapp/**>
                pages/emage_entry_page.jsf?id=**EMAGE:%s"
                maxLength="20"tableConstraint=*
                *"main"/>

                Since these filters and attributes refer to keys about
                which no
                information is provided in the XML, they can not be
                recreated by 0.8 and are
                ignored.

                4. and 5. BioMart 0.8 does not currently have these
                capabilities, but they
                are planned for future releases.

                I was looking at http://central.biomart.org/ after
                reading the recent
                paper in Database.
                It's nice work, looks good, and I'm obviously happy to
                see the EMAGE
                biomart included in there.
                However I have some quibbles about how the EMAGE
                interface has been
                represented on there...
                1. The EMAP anatomy ontology database and its 2
                datasets are not included.
                2. There is no mechanism to do linked dataset queries.
                3. EMAGE text expression annotation dataset has
                several groups of filters
                and attributes missing.
                4. There are no default attributes pre-selected.
                5. There is no select all/deselect all in groups of
                attributes.
                I don't know if some of these are technical
                limitations with representing
                a v0.7 implementation in
                v0.8? I recognise some issues from when I tried to
                port to a previous v0.8
                release candidate. Are
                there changes at this end that I could make to help?
                Regards,
                Peter.
