OntoCAT

What is OntoCAT? OntoCAT is a framework for dynamic web form creation that assists biologists in creating their own forms. This framework will allow biologists to create their own forms without needing the guidance of a computer scientist. The lack of dependency means that biologists will only need to have an ontology on their domain, and they can create their own form specifically for their data. How does it work? OntoCAT uses a given ontology to allow biologists to select specific triples that they want in the form as data fields. These triples, and eventually any given data, are stored in a triple store for future retrieval and editing. Storing the data in triples allows it to be queried using SPARQL queries. Tarleton Web Forms The Tarleton Web Forms are web forms developed specifically for the Tarleton Research Group. These forms are static forms that store given data in RDF format to allow for easier querying through SPARQL. Tarleton Web Forms Readme GENE FORMS New Data 1. Go to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/GeneKOForm.html" 2. Fill information out on both tabs 3. Click a field's corresponding help button to have the field explained (Note: "Date Completed" and "Date Started" are for future editing, and are not accessable at the time of data entry) 4. Click "Enter Knock-Out Content" (The browser will redirect to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/AlleleKOForm.jsp") 5. Fill information out on both tabs (Note: The second "Gene ID" field is there for implementation of future features, it is currently locked) 6. Click "Add Allele Entry" to save the data for that allele (Note: If more than one allele exists for a given gene, repeat steps 5 and 6 until all allele information is entered) 7. Click "Done adding Allele's" to save all the information (The browser will redirect to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/DisplayPage.jsp") 8. If the entered data is not correct, click "Edit Knock-Out Details" at the bottom of the page to edit the information Edit Data 1. Go to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/GeneInfo.jsp" 2. Click on the desired KO ID to edit 3. Edit information, and submit (Note: This process will be like entering new data, except all the fields will be populated with the existing data) STRAIN FORMS New Data 1. Go to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/StrainForm.jsp" 2. Input information 3. Click "Submit Strain Entry" (The browser will redirect to"http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/StrainCloneForm.html") 4. Input information 5. Click "Submit Clone Entry" (Note: If inserting multiple clones, repeate steps 4 and 5 until all desired information is submitted) 6. Click "Go to Plasmid Form" (The browser will redirect to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/StrainPlasmidForm.jsp") 5. If there is a KO Plasmid to submit, select it and click "Submit Plasmid Entry" 6. Cick "Select Clone Designate" (The browser will redirect to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/CloneDesignate.jsp") 7. Select desired clone, and click "Enter Designated Clone" (The browser will redirect to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/StrainDisplayPage.jsp") 8. If there is any incorrect information pertaining to the selected clone, click "Edit Strain Details" Edit Data 1. Go to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/StrainInfo.jsp" 2. Click on the desired Strain ID to edit. 3. Edit the information, and submit (The browser will redirect to "http://knoesis1.wright.edu/TarletonFormManager/StrainDisplayPage.jsp") 4. Click "Edit Strain Details" to change the desired information (Note: This process will be like entering new data, except all the fields will be populated with the existing data)
