Community features

(Need update: imported from AgroPortal project management Wiki on 2022-11-17)

AgroPortal features a few “community features” :

• Projects related to ontologies: http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/projects . That is important to see which ontologies are actually used and eventually sort the ontologies “per number of projects” in the Browse page.

• Ontology reviews: for each ontology a review can be written by a logged in user from the ontology “Summary” page. It helps keep track of the quality.

• Manual mapping creation: On each ontology class a logged in user can create a mapping to another class (inside the AgroPortal, or in the NCBO BioPortal or any other ressources that provide URIs)… while being mostly something to illustrate, the real force comes from using the API to put mappings in.

• Notes to ontologies: Notes can be added in a forum like mode to a specific ontology: http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/ontologies/CO_321/?p=notes in order to discuss the ontology (design, use, future, etc…)

• Notes to classes: Notes can be added also to a specific class in one ontology, allowing users to make propositions to change/specify a certain class.

Each time a review, notes or mappings is added to an ontology, the users that have “subscribed” to this ontology with their user account will get a notification by email… so they can keep track of what’s going on for this ontology.
