Table 2 Operations over the conceptual map
From: Exploring and linking biomedical resources through multidimensional semantic spaces
Operation | Back-end action | Client-side action |
|---|---|---|
drillDown (D i , c) | Retrieve the children of c in dimension D i | Visualization of direct sub-concepts of c and the bridges involved by them. |
contains (D i , c, kywds) | Check if c has some sub-concept c' mathing kywds | If true, the concept c is visualized with a different color. |
drillThrough (D i , c) | Retrieve the ranking of items d annotated with c by rel(d, c) = Rd[c] | Visualization in a tab (one for each indexed collection) of the ranked list of objects with their metadata and cross-references. |
drillThrough (D i , b) | Get the ranking of items d supporting the selected bridge b = (c1, c2) by rel(d, b) = rel(d, c1) ·rel(d, c2) | Visualization in a tab of the ranked list of objects with their metadata and cross-references. |
conceptRemoval (D i , c) | None | Removal of c from D i and all its bridges. |
conceptSelection (D i , c) | None | Removal of all other concepts and their bridges in D i except for c. |
