Overview
geWorkbench provides several mechanisms by which descriptive information about particular data nodes can be viewed and added. These include "hover text" in the Project Folders component for certain dataset types, and several text windows for different types of information. These later components are displayed in the Command and Analysis area of geWorkbench.
Information Panel: Dataset History, Annotation and Experiment Information
After any operation on a data node, such as analysis, normalization, or filtering, certain information is stored to that data node's Information Panel. The Information Panel is divided into three sub-windows.
Note - prior to geWorkbench v2.3.0, these three windows appeared as separate tabs in the geWorkbench Commands area.
Dataset History
The Dataset History window logs the settings used for analysis, filtering and normalization. Dataset histories are part of the workspace and are persisted when the workspace is saved. Data in the Dataset History pane is non-editable.
Dataset Annotation
The Dataset Annotation component allows users to attach comments to Project Folders nodes. A user first selects the node of interest in the Project Folders tree and then enters the desired annotation (in the form of free text) in the Dataset Annotation pane. Annotations are stored along with their corresponding Project Folder nodes when the workspace is saved.
Experiment Info
Experiment Info is a non-editable component intended for viewing information associated with a Microarray dataset. What constitutes "experiment information" varies depending on the source of the microarray dataset. E.g., for Affymetrix MAS5 files the file preamble (the part just before the data lines which provides various experiment execution parameters) becomes the experiment information.
