We believe that non-IT-based biologists are unlikely to make use of interfaces with significant learning curves or excessive complexity in the interface. Consequently we see a requirements for tooling/support for e.g. group-based bioinformaticians to make workflows available to the colleague biologists as simple web pages.

This page will gather existing examples of web page interfaces and other requirements and storyboards, to inform the design/development process.

I have a set of results from the williams workflows used in the ISMB paper but these can not, under any circumstances, be put on a webpage, used in presentations, or made public in anyway what so ever - they are too sensitive and can only be used for practise. If people want to look at the results they can email me (h.j.tipney@stud.man.ac.uk) or Robert and I can send you them. Also I'm working on some storyboards - will be posted soon...

I've attached a powerpoint presentation which I have been working on with the intention of showing May and other Williams biologist to get their feedback on results presentation, have I met their requirements, how they find they layout, is it intuitive to them etc.... this means it is very specific to the Williams workflows I have been working on, but is very point and press with not many options to play with, although I intend to add some kind of 'advanced' query page at a later date. Also, none of the other biologists have seen this in full so the input has mainly just been mine I'm not sure if this is what you ment when you talked about storyboards but it is how I've been showing other biologists what some of the final tools might do. Hopefully it will be of use and you can see what is going on - if not let me know and I'll try to explain!
