LabScene:Todo

=Interface changes=

Simplify interface
 * Get rid of dropdown menus and change view
 * Header will contain a small Logo, Search Bar, More dropdown, and User Dropdown
 * Footer will contain only Contact Us, About, Advertising, Disclaimer, and Privacy Policy
 * Provide a sidebar which allows adding relations and changing layout
 * Have a default layout for each namespace
 * Provide alternative layouts for each namespace
 * Provide customization of the content view for each Namespace (user specific - dynamic templates)
 * Sidebar allows users to add data to page
 * Integrate Query into search bar
 * Include advertisement bar

=Advertising=

ref: LabScene:AdvertisingModel


 * For now incorporate Google AdWords into the site as a place holder
 * Create separate database for storing advertisers sensitive information (create new wiki)
 * Create dynamic advertisement creator
 * Have advertisements show up where the AdWords are currently

=Semantic Datamodel=

ref: LabScene:Datamodel


 * Implement Form:Research
 * Implement Form:Experiment
 * Implement Form:Measurement
 * Implement Form:Observation
 * Implement Form:Entity

=Query Interface=

This interface would be similar to the Firebug extension for firefox. It has also been implemented for WikiData... for example click on console:

http://wikidata-test-client.wikimedia.de/wiki/Main_Page

This should provide a way for querying and manipulating data from the website in a very similar way that you can with programs such as Firebug and especially like Matlab! It means there should be functions available for manipulating data and users can also create their own functions.


 * Interface should always be accessible (dynamically)
 * Queries will be used for specific purposes
 * Retrieving data for Manipulation (Provide functionality)
 * Numeric Calculations
 * Data representation (Plotting)
 * Retrieving data for knowledge (Exploring URIs directly or through various representations or mappings)
 * Information about different researchers
 * Information about specific research
 * Information about Instrumentation
 * Information about Theories
 * Information about Hypothesis'
 * Information about Research Facilities
 * etc.

=Social Networking=


 * Clean up profile page
 * Fix profile layout (scroll bar on side?)
 * Change 'Friend' to 'Labmate' (slightly more professional)
 * Generate a newsfeed according to research interests, labmates updates, group updates, watchlist updates... etc.
 * Fix new user message
 * Fix points system to be more meaningful (should represent status within research fields)
 * Establish point ranking system Labscene:RankingSystem
 * Integrate a lab notebook (User when a user wants to organize their data but cannot make it public)
 * The lab notebook will be a private notebook for the user
 * Will allow the user to create notes from experiments
 * Anything published in their private notebook cannot be removed
 * Content from the private notebook and be made public at anytime
