Mockups
Databasket in Tab
Basket in a permanent tab allows maximum space
- Highlight the row under the mouse in yellow (rollover).
Click on the row does View Bookmark - Each item type has an icon, and the type name is shown in tooltip.
Some match the tools, others are new (Text Snippet, Web Link) - Image Preview is only displayed for types of data where it is possible to do this
- The URL is shortened; the full URL is shown in tooltip.
URL is clickable to show the item in original location (tool) - Filter is similar to Annotation filtering (available in Tab and in Popup)
- Sort is a dropdown and sorts immediately (available in Tab and in Popup)
- Action menu on each item: View (same as clicking the row), Edit, Delete
- (Not for now) Tags panel can be sorted by popularity (shown) or A---Z
Data Basket as Popup
For use when inserting item into RTF editor (eg in a comment)
- An additional display method needed for the system
- Clicking on an item inserts it in the RTF
- No actions (cannot edi
- All the rest is the same as Databasket in Tab
Filter Dialog
This shows the filtering controls. It's made with SALT, a text-to-UI macro that has its limitations, so the look is not faithful.
The look should be similar to image annotation Filter, eg the two buttons should be on the right.

View Bookmark
Shows bookmark details
- We only have a single pop up (for detail and edit) rather than a double pop up for edit
Edit Bookmark
Add Text Snippet
Very similar to Edit
Add Web Link
Advanced interactivity when URL is added:
- fetch page, get <title> tag and Web Preview (if we find such a server)
Icons
Labels:
None

I like the economy of these designs. If you click on the "preview" of the object in the popup window do you open a new tab and go to the object record/annotation?

Yes this is how it would work in the details pop up (the URL link works as well, again opening the item in a new tab on the tool applicable).

How do you add an external link?

dominic.oldman
The action menu for each item should have its own individual export. It would be useful to have a decription of how an item is inserted into a tool. For example, someone taking text and an image from a forum post into a tool (like annotation). Would this all be done through action menus so that in the annotation tool, for example, that action menu would have, "import selected databasket item". Or would it have, "import data basket item", which then brought uip a pop up which then allowed a selection. In external web sites that have underlying semantic data would the databasket automatically take back the RDF and the human readable web page link. (semantic data is often provided with a human readable page (which a user is directed to) when browsing semantic data. With external links I presume that the link will take you back to the web page in question (as with the Korbo tool). The data basket should operate in a similar way to korbo but support both normal and rdf data.

The export is covered by the action menu. We should decide exactly what else is in there together with Maria.
The action menu should be present in the forum as well.
To add add item to the basket (where action menu present) choose option in the action menu. This opens the add pop up.
On the external website question, I think Ontotext are better placed to spec this functionality in collaboration with yourself. Adding could be done similarly, dependant on exactly how you get the data in the first place.

It would be good to see a mock up with example action menus to show the databasket process. This should include the annotate option (annotate from with basket).
The databasket should distinguish between internal sources (icons) and external sources.

Current action menus have "add to data basket". Will the databasket also support, "Add current item to databasket" from the databasket tab i.e. Can it pull items in as well as items be pushed into it. It would have to do a pull when going to external web pages because they will not have action menus.

I would be interested in comments regarding the Korbo tool and its applicability to the RS databasket.
see the KORBA API http://korbo.muruca.org/api.php
and API function
Basket SPARQL PROXYWhen a basket is created a sparql-endpoint is automatically created with a dedicated url. Developers can use directly this feature to develope application. This feature is under development but is not yet stable.

Question: Should we provide a basket system that allows organisation into multiple sub baskets (see korbo)
Jul 23, 2012

Tagging allows you to create groupings within the basket. This is more flexible as items can belong to two tags, as they may be relevant to one or more thoughts. Maria do you agree?

Comment from Ken Hamma
Are the 'Edit' and 'Save' buttons at the top and bottom of the pop-up window redundant? I assume they are but because they exist in different layers - the top one as part of the pop-up window, implying save everything; the bottom one more associated with the text in the white space that belongs to the data, implying save that bit - it could be confusing?

Topped an tailed for ease. Can just be at the bottom if you want.

Hollie, Tom
There are some comments on the databasket in confluence.
Just to confirm – The first image has a comment number and an action menu at the top. Is this where the annotation can take place. If so please confirm that the annotation will then appear within the annotation tool when looking at the object. I wonder whether people should be able to see a view of the annotations attached to the databasket item if they exist and perhaps this would be another popup box
I will paste this along with the other comments.
Having a confirmation of items on the actions menus would be good.
I am on leave from Wednesday. Can will go through the comments as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Dominic

From our point of view adding the annotate from the data basket complicates the UI and may not actually be useful to that many users. You can annotate by opening the original item and annotating there, this is a very easy way to do it without complicating the databasket with additional functionality.
We will add a button to create new data basket item (would cover external URLs). The add pop up would be very similar but the URL field would be editable. If you paste a Researchspace URL the system should recognise it and fill in the other fields automatically.

OK. This seems correct
