Here, we re-assess an existing analytical inspection framework, designed for individual information seeking, and then apply it to evaluate a recent collaborative information-seeking interface: SearchTogether.
This is partly due to biologists' tendency to seek simpler interfaces and partly due to the fact that questions in biology involve high level concepts that are open to interpretations computed using sophisticated tools.
"What is beautiful to you?" It's the question that curators will ask participants around the world when they step inside a large gold shipping container for a project titled Portals that seeks to interface with the global art world.
It would link together both fundamental research, as the supramolecular underpinnings of intra/intermembrane self-assembly are still unclear, and applied research that seeks to interface functional vesicles with cells, surfaces and other vesicles.
We conclude that the framework: (a) can still be applied to collaborative information-seeking interfaces; (b) can successfully produce additional requirements for collaborative information-seeking interfaces; and (c) can successfully model different dynamics of collaborating searchers.
In Table 1, four GUI information-seeking interfaces designed for children are compared in terms of user behavior, interface type/display of information node and icon design, and collection type.
Despite the many implicit references to the social contexts of search within information seeking and retrieval research, there has been relatively little work that has specifically investigated the additional requirements for collaborative information-seeking interfaces.
The second alternative concept, and further explained here, is the fast lane, the platform approach in which efficient UXC is sought by interfacing the university system with either a new or already existing collaboration platforms.
There are only a few methods available for studying fluid fluid interfaces which seek to control Ci and allow the interface to respond with changes to Γi. Subphase exchange in pendant drops can be achieved by the injection and withdrawal of liquid into a drop at constant volumetric flow rate RE during which the interfacial area and drop volume VD are controlled to be approximately constant.
From a feature perspective, they would seek a user friendly interface (possibly internet-based) that can be integrated into their content workflow process and that facilitate the comparison of project statuses over time.
