Over the last hundred years, science has become an increasingly collaborative endeavor. Scientific collaborations, sometimes referred to as “collaboratories” and “virtual organizations”, range from those that work closely together and others that are more loosely coordinated. Some scientific collaborations revolve around sharing instruments (e.g., the Large Hadron Collider), others focus on a shared database (e.g., the Sloan Sky Digital Survey), others form around a shared software base (e.g., SciPy), and others around a shared scientific question (e.g., the Human Genome Project).

Our work focuses on scientific collaborations that are driven by a shared scientific question that requires the integration of ideas, models, software, data, and other resources from different disciplines. These projects are particularly challenging because they require:
* significant organization and coordination, as people with diverse backgrounds are supposed to first discover one another and then find common ground to collaborate
* retaining users over the long term, since people need clear incentives to remain involved for the long period of time that such projects are active
* incrementally growing the community with unanticipated participants, as they bring in skills or resources needed as the project is fleshed out
For all these reasons, even though such scientific collaborations do occur they are not very common. Yet, they are needed in order to address major engineering and science challenges in our future.

This project is developing the <b>Organic Data Science Framework (ODSF)</b> to support scientific collaborations that revolve around complex science questions that require significant coordination to synthesize multi-disciplinary findings, enticing contributors to remain engaged for extended periods of time, and continuous growth to accommodate new contributors as needed as the work evolves over time.

ODSF addresses these challenges with a collaborative user interface that supports:
# self-organization of the community through user-driven dynamic task decomposition,
# on-line community support by incorporating social design principles and best practices,
# an open science process by capturing new kinds of metadata about the collaboration that provide invaluable context to newcomers.

With ODSF, users formulate science tasks to describe the what, who, when, and how of the smaller activities pursued within the collaboration. The interface is designed to entice contributors to participate and continue involved in the specific tasks they are interested in. The framework is in its early stages of development, and it evolves to accommodate user feedback and to incorporate new collaboration features.

== About this task ==

This task involves a design for user tracking, and the implementation of this design.

<span style="color:#00BFFF">'''STATUS: The design is completed. The implementation not started yet.'''</span>

== The Design of User Tracking ==
Especially to motivate and integrate new community members it’s important to find users with some kind of similar interests or expertise. The new users can probably identify themselves with tasks that are done by persons with the same filed of expertise. Therefor user tracking is helpful to grow up a community. Basically our user tacking concept contains three main parts.
===Personal User Information===
'''Personal user information''' such as the username, a photo and tags of expertise is described within the first block.

===Tasks of User===
All tasks related to the user are visible. Tasks are represented in three blocks the '''currently active tasks''', '''future tasks''' and the '''task history'''. Every block has a small gray counter. All tasks have a pie progress icon in front of the task name and a short description below.

<div style="border:1px solid #eeeeee; width:610px">[[File:Mockup_8_User_Tracking_I.png|600px]]</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; width:610px; font-size:smaller; color:#999999; font-style:italic; padding-left:5px;">User Tracking - General Mockup</div>
<br/>

===Task-Person Visualization===
The '''task and person relation visualization''' helps to understand the process of collaboration. Understanding the collaborative behavior help to find some similarities or start new collaborations on further tasks. For new members it can be helpful to understand an emergent team or project structure.

This page documents how to reorganize tasks in the wiki. All reorganizing actions can be done within the
[[Exploring Tasks#Task Explorer|Task Explorer]] and the [[Exploring Tasks#Subtask Explorer|Subtask Explorer]].
You can [[#Rename Task|rename tasks]], [[#Move Task|move tasks]] or [[#Delete Task|delete tasks]]. All possible
actions for a task are visible with a right click on a selected task.<br/>
<br/>
'''Important:''' <i>Use only operations to create, rename, move and delete tasks which are described here.
The usage of default media wiki operations like delete or move task pages will lead to an inconsistent state.</i>

==Rename Task==
You can '''rename''' a task with a right click on any selected task. Select rename from the pull-down menu, change the name and press enter to confirm the change. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Rename.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
'''Hint:''' With a click on any other task you can abort the action.

==Move Task==
Moving task works similar to the file explorer in the desktop. First you need to ''cut'' a task by doing a right click to open the menu and selecting cut.
In the next step you need to define the destination. Do a right click on the new parent task and select ''paste''. With this
step the move action is complete.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveCutPaste.png|450px]]<br/><br/>
'''Hint:''' The following steps are optional.<br/><br/>
Tasks are hierarchically organized, therefore subtasks should follow the restrictions of their parent tasks.
This means a task target date should be not later than the parent [[Create Task#Time Interval|task target date]].
Similar restrictions exist for the [[Create Task#Task Types|task type]].
If any inconsistency occurs task are highlighted in yellow. The following steps explain how to make tasks consistent. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveProblem.png|650px]]<br/><br/>
The following figure illustrates the inconsistency problem of target dates on a conceptual level. After moving the task, the target date is
inconsistent and it is shown in yellow. There are two approaches to solve this problem. You can postpone the target date of the current task or
you postpone the target date of the parent task. <br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveSolutions.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
This figure illustrates changing the tasks target date.<br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveSolutiona.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
The figure below illustrates changing the parent task's target date.<br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveSolutionb.png|550px]]<br/><br/>

'''Hint:''' The task warnings automatically disappear when the tasks are consistent again.<br/><br/>

==Move Task to Toplevel==
Tasks cannot be [[#Move Task|moved]] by cut and paste to top-level. Instead,
select a task by right clicking and select '''ToToplevel''' in the pull-down menu. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveToToplevel.png|450px]]<br/><br/>

==Delete Task==
Every task can be deleted with a right click and selecting delete from the pull-down menu. Deleting a task means also deleting all of its
subtasks. The system will as you to confirm that you want to delete all these tasks.
[[File:Docu_Delete.png|550px]]<br/><br/>

'''Hint:''' This action can not be undone easily.

[[Category:Docu]] <table id="wt-documentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="content">
The Organic Data Science wiki framework enables scientists to collaborate in new ways doing what we call “task-oriented collaboration”.
The wiki poses some broad overarching science questions that cut across disciplines and institutions. Answering those questions requires
contributors to formulate and collaborate in a variety of tasks through the ODS framework, such as decomposing the high level questions
into smaller tasks, sharing datasets, describing data characteristics, preparing them, and running models. Therefore, a major aspect of
the framework is to understand how tasks work. Several top-level tasks are formulated to capture the driving science questions, each with
subtasks which have other subtasks in turn<br/><br/>

Tasks of the organic data science framework can be browsed in many different ways.
Depending on your purpose you can choose between the '''[[#Task Explorer|task explorer]]''', the '''[[#Subtask Explorer|subtask explorer]]'''
and the '''[[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]]'''. The best choice to browse within all tasks is the '''[[#Task Explorer|task explorer]]''', which appears on the left side of the screen.
In case you want to browse subtasks of a certain task you should use the '''[[#Subtask Explorer|subtask explorer]]'''.
Alternatively you can use the '''[[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]]''' to browse subtasks and see their time dependencies.
The following figure illustrates these three different task browsing options. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_Overview.png|600px|Exploring Tasks Overview]]

==Task Explorer==
The Task Explorer appears on the left of the screen. It shows all tasks in the wiki organized in a tree hierarchy, with subtasks indented. This Task Explorer works comparable with the file browser in a desktop.
By default all top level task are visible. Every task with a
small triangle has at least one subtask, and can be expanded with a left mouse click on the triangle.
The wiki page for any task can be opened with a single left mouse click on the task name.

===All Tasks Tab===
This tab of the Task Explorer shows all existing tasks in the wiki. You can use this to explore tasks within the wiki.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_AllTaskTab.png|200px]]

===My Tasks Tab===
This tab of the Task Explorer shows all tasks that you own. All other tasks are invisible or greyed out. Parent tasks which are needed to
represent the task hierarchy are greyed out. A red counter behind the tab label indicates how many tasks you have currently assigned to you as owner.
The [[#My Tasks Tab|My Tasks tab]] is only visible for users who are logged in. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_MyTaskTab.png|200px]]

===Task Name Search===
The Task Name Search allows you to search the task names. You can apply this search either
to the [[#All Tasks Tab|All Tasks tab]] or the [[#My Tasks Tab| My Tasks tab]]. All matching results are shown in the Task Explorer.
Parent tasks of matching tasks are shown but faded, just to provide context. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_TextSearch.png|200px]]

===Expertise Filter===
The Expertise Filter works similar to the [[#Task Name Search|Task Name Search]], but it searches for tasks that are marked with the expertise indicated.
It offers a pull-down menu with the kinds of expertise already defined in the wiki.
The pull-down menu shows in brackets a number that indicates how many tasks have that expertise. After
selecting a certain expertise, the matching tasks are shown. The [[#Task Name Search| Task Name Search]] and the
[[#Expertise Filter|Expertise Filter]] can be combined. If both are applied, all results shown will match both criteria. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_ExpertiseFilter.png|200px]]

===Hierarchical View and List View===
The Task Explorer can show two different views of the tasks: the '''hierarchical view'''
and the '''list view'''. The hierarchical view shows the task-subtask hierarchy, and is the default view.
Furthermore the amount of tasks is smaller due to the nested task structure.
The list view does not show a parent or subtask hierarchy. The list view is more convenient when the hierarchy view shows a lot of faded tasks.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_View.png|420px]]

===Resizing===
Some task names are only partially shown because they are simply too long. Therefore you can resize the width of the Task Explorer.
Hover the mouse over the blue rectangle with the white arrows to the left and right. After that, '''left click''', then
'''hold''' and then '''move to the left''' or '''move to the right'''.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_Resizing.png|250px]]

==Subtask Explorer==
The [[#Subtask Explorer| Subtask Explorer]] is basically to browse subtasks of the task currently opened in the wiki page.
The name of the current task shown in the wiki page is larger and the task icon is more detailed
with a number that indicates the percentage of the task that is completed (this will be explained later).
Above the current task name, the '''parent task''' is shown if there is one.
Below it, all its '''subtasks''' are listed and can be expanded.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_SubtaskExplorer.png|550px]]

==Timeline Explorer==
The [[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]] can be opened with a click on the blue '''Timeline''' tab on the top right.
Similar to the [[#Subtask Explorer| subtask explorer]], all subtasks of the current task are shown. The Timeline Explorer
shows all subtasks in a time context comparable to a Gantt chart. The x-axis represents the time, and each bar shows a subtask. A number within
a bar represents the progress of that subtask. Today's date is marked with a vertical red line. Every task can be
opened with a simple click.<br/><br/>

Exploring Tasks

2014-09-12T14:13:03Z

Admin: Creating new page with Category: Docu

[[Category:Docu]] <table id="wt-documentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="content">
The Organic Data Science wiki framework enables scientists to collaborate in new ways doing what we call “task-oriented collaboration”.
The wiki poses some broad overarching science questions that cut across disciplines and institutions. Answering those questions requires
contributors to formulate and collaborate in a variety of tasks through the ODS framework, such as decomposing the high level questions
into smaller tasks, sharing datasets, describing data characteristics, preparing them, and running models. Therefore, a major aspect of
the framework is to understand how tasks work. Several top-level tasks are formulated to capture the driving science questions, each with
subtasks which have other subtasks in turn<br/><br/>

Tasks of the organic data science framework can be browsed in many different ways.
Depending on your purpose you can choose between the '''[[#Task Explorer|task explorer]]''', the '''[[#Subtask Explorer|subtask explorer]]'''
and the '''[[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]]'''. The best choice to browse within all tasks is the '''[[#Task Explorer|task explorer]]''', which appears on the left side of the screen.
In case you want to browse subtasks of a certain task you should use the '''[[#Subtask Explorer|subtask explorer]]'''.
Alternatively you can use the '''[[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]]''' to browse subtasks and see their time dependencies.
The following figure illustrates these three different task browsing options. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_Overview.png|600px|Exploring Tasks Overview]]

==Task Explorer==
The Task Explorer appears on the left of the screen. It shows all tasks in the wiki organized in a tree hierarchy, with subtasks indented. This Task Explorer works comparable with the file browser in a desktop.
By default all top level task are visible. Every task with a
small triangle has at least one subtask, and can be expanded with a left mouse click on the triangle.
The wiki page for any task can be opened with a single left mouse click on the task name.

===All Tasks Tab===
This tab of the Task Explorer shows all existing tasks in the wiki. You can use this to explore tasks within the wiki.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_AllTaskTab.png|200px]]

===My Tasks Tab===
This tab of the Task Explorer shows all tasks that you own. All other tasks are invisible or greyed out. Parent tasks which are needed to
represent the task hierarchy are greyed out. A red counter behind the tab label indicates how many tasks you have currently assigned to you as owner.
The [[#My Tasks Tab|My Tasks tab]] is only visible for users who are logged in. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_MyTaskTab.png|200px]]

===Task Name Search===
The Task Name Search allows you to search the task names. You can apply this search either
to the [[#All Tasks Tab|All Tasks tab]] or the [[#My Tasks Tab| My Tasks tab]]. All matching results are shown in the Task Explorer.
Parent tasks of matching tasks are shown but faded, just to provide context. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_TextSearch.png|200px]]

===Expertise Filter===
The Expertise Filter works similar to the [[#Task Name Search|Task Name Search]], but it searches for tasks that are marked with the expertise indicated.
It offers a pull-down menu with the kinds of expertise already defined in the wiki.
The pull-down menu shows in brackets a number that indicates how many tasks have that expertise. After

How to use this organic data science wiki

2014-09-07T21:01:56Z

Admin: /* Categories */

This is a reference guide on how to use this semantic wiki to add structured information.

== Getting an Account ==

To get an account in this wiki, please [mailto:gil@isi.edu send email to] [[Yolanda Gil]] with subject like "REQUEST FOR ORGANIC DATA SCIENCE ACCOUNT."

== Adding New Text to Existing Pages ==

This wiki allows basic editing by adding regular wiki text and content. When editing, and before adding any text, click on the "Save Page" button at the bottom. After that select a category. Then you can either: 1) add structured properties by clicking on the "Add" button, or 2) add text and figures as in any other wiki by clicking on the "Edit" button at the top right. To format text and figures,
see the [[Quick_Guide_to_Using_a_Wiki | Quick Guide to Using a Wiki]], or the detailed [//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide].

=== Specifying Mathematical Formulas ===

It is possible to specify mathematical formulas within the text of any page. See [[Math_Formulas | this page]] for more information.

=== Adding comments ===

You can add comments to text by having a column every time you want to indent. Choose a unique color from [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help this palette] and use it in your comments.

:<span style="color:#FF0000"> This user makes a comment in red -- User1 </span>
:: <span style="color:#006400"> This user responds to the comment in green -- User2 </span>

== Adding and Editing Pages ==
=== Creating a new Page ===
Just go to http://www.organicdatascience.org/index.php/New_Page

[Replace "New Page" above to the name that you want for the page]

Then, either select a [[How_to_use_this_organic_data_science_wiki#Categories | category]] for this page:

[[File:Category.png|thumb|200px|none]]

or, just click on the "Create" link to create a page without any category

[[File:Create.png|thumb|200px|none]]

=== Deleting a Page ===
Go to http://www.organicdatascience.org/index.php/Name_of_Page

[Replace "Name of Page" above to the name of the page to delete]

Then click on the "Delete" link, and delete the page.

[[File:Delete.png|thumb|300px|none]]

[[File:Delete2.png|thumb|500px|none]]

=== Renaming a Page ===
Go to http://www.organicdatascience.org/index.php/Name_of_Page

[Replace "Name of Page" above to the name of the page to rename]

Then click on the "Move" link, and set the new name

[[File:Rename.png|thumb|300px|none]]

[[File:Rename2.png|thumb|500px|none]]

== Adding Structured Data ==
All pages in this wiki (except the Main Page) have a "Structured Data" Section.

[[File:StructuredData2.png|thumb|500px|none]]

=== Asserting Property Values ===
A user can click on the "Add" button to add a Property and Value pair. Matching properties in the wiki are suggested to the user as he types. In case the user decides to write his own property, this property is then automatically added to the wiki.

[[File:StructuredData.png|thumb|500px|none]]

=== Deleting Property Values ===
Click on the [x] link next to the Property Value pair that you want to delete.

=== Setting Property Type ===
The type of a property is guessed by the value that the user puts in while asserting a property value. In case, the user wants to set the property type himself, he can go to the property page ( http://www.organicdatascience.org/index.php/Property:Name_of_Property ) and edit the wiki text to change the type.

For example, if one goes to [[Property:Resolution]], he sees the following.

[[File:PropertyType1.png|thumb|500px|none]]

On Editing the wiki text

[[File:PropertyType2.png|thumb|400px|none]]

=== Directly creating a new property ===
Create a new page for the property by navigating to http://www.organicdatascience.org/index.php/Property:Name_of_New_Property

=== Deleting a property ===
Navigate to the property page ( http://www.organicdatascience.org/index.php/Property:Name_of_Property ), and Delete it. (Refer to Deleting a page above on how)

Note: Deleting the property page will not automatically delete assertions of that property in other pages. That will have to be done manually.

=== Renaming a property ===
Navigate to the property page ( http://www.organicdatascience.org/index.php/Property:Name_of_Property ), and Move it. (Refer to Renaming a page above on how)

Note: Renaming the property page will not automatically rename assertions of that property in other pages. That will have to be done manually.

== Categories ==

=== Task Category ===
A Task category page allows the user to describe a Task and specify its subtasks and answers.

[[File:Task.png|thumb|300px|none]]

=== Answer Category ===
An answer category page allows the user to describe an Answer

[[File:Answer.png|thumb|200px|none]]

=== Person Category ===
A Person category page is associated with a Wiki User ID by the "Has User ID" property. Add this in the Structured Data section.

[[File:Person1.png|thumb|500px|none]]

Once, this is done then the Person Category page will have the following UI to show the user's contributions to the wiki:

[[File:Person2.png|thumb|500px|none]]

=== Workflow Category ===
This category page allows a user to import a Workflow Description as stored in OPMW. Example URL:
http://www.opmw.org/export/page/resource/WorkflowTemplate/AQUAFLOW_NTM

[[File:Workflow.png|thumb|300px|none]]

After importing:

[[File:Workflow2.png|thumb|300px|none]]

=== ExecutedWorkflow Category ===
This category page allows a user to import an Executed Workflow's provenance as stored in OPMW. Example URL:
http://www.opmw.org/export/page/resource/WorkflowExecutionAccount/ACCOUNT1383027155436

[[File:ExWorkflow.png|thumb|300px|none]]

After importing:

[[File:ExWorkflow2.png|thumb|300px|none]]

=== UserProvidedData Category ===
This category gives the user a UI to upload data to the wiki and then add Structured Data assertions about it.

Click on "Provide Data Name", and enter the data name.

[[File:UPD1.png|thumb|400px|none]]

Once the Data is entered, you will see the following:

[[File:UPD2.png|thumb|200px|none]]

Click on the name of the Data file to upload/view the file. (Note: The [x] link can be clicked to delete this data name.)

[[File:UPD3.png|thumb|300px|none]]

[[File:UPD4.png|thumb|400px|none]]

In addition, Data Columns can be described [[#Describing_Data_Columns|as shown below]]

=== UserDescribedData Category ===
This category allows the user to describe data present somewhere on the internet.

Click on "Add Link to Data", and enter a link to the data.

[[File:UDD1.png|thumb|400px|none]]

Once the link is entered, you will see the following:

[[File:UDD2.png|thumb|400px|none]]

Click on the link to view data. (Note: The [x] link can be clicked to delete this data link)

In addition, Data Columns can be described as shown below.

==== Describing Data Columns ====
Data columns can be described for both UserProvidedData and UserDescribedData.

[[File:DataColumns2.png|thumb|200px|none]]

A Data column can be added by clicking on the "Add Data Column" and entering the name of the Data type. Matching Datatypes in the wiki are suggested to the user as he types. In case the user decides to write his own Datatype, this page is then automatically added to the wiki with Category DataType.

[[File:DataColumns1.png|thumb|300px|none]]

== Credits for Users ==
At the bottom of each page (except the main page), credits are shown to show which users have edited that page.

[[File:Credits.png|thumb|400px|none]]

== Using Structured Content to Dynamically Create Sections of Wiki Pages ==

Those properties can then be used to answer queries that aggregate automatically those properties and pages. Below are some examples of how a query can be stated using those structured properties, and the automatically generated table that answers the query. These queries can be used to create dynamically generated content.

{{ #ask: [[Is a::model]]
| ?author
| ?software_license
| ?language
| default=No models are described in this site
}}

{{ #ask: [[Is a::researcher]]
| ?expertise
| ?affiliation
| default=No researchers are described in this site
}}

Human Centered Computing to Support Organic Data Science

2014-09-05T18:09:13Z

Admin:

[[Category:Task]]

Our research on human-centered computing to support organic data science centers in three major areas:

# The use of social computing for collective problem solving, where scientist contributions will be driven to answering science questions, as we believe this is a great incentive for participation. Answering these questions will be the overarching shared goal, and will require contributors to formulate and collaborate in a variety of tasks such as decomposing the high level questions into smaller tasks, sharing datasets, describing data characteristics, preparing them, and running models.
# Contributor credits. Our goal is to understand how to enable ad-hoc collaborations and contributions of any size and form, while exposing the credit for all forms of contributions in the context of the final publications.
# Study of emerging normalization and standardization agreements as contributors describe their data, models, and other science products to integrate them in service of collective tasks. We are analyzing the drivers for convergence on agreements, and their effect on productivity, data reuse, and facilitation to new contributors.

Admin: Creating new page with Category: Docu

[[Category:Docu]] <table id="wt-documentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="content">
This page documents how to reorganize tasks in the wiki. All reorganizing actions can be done within the
[[Exploring Tasks#Task Explorer|Task Explorer]] and the [[Exploring Tasks#Subtask Explorer|Subtask Explorer]].
You can [[#Rename Task|rename tasks]], [[#Move Task|move tasks]] or [[#Delete Task|delete tasks]]. All possible
actions for a task are visible with a right click on a selected task.

==Rename Task==
You can '''rename''' a task with a right click on any selected task. Select rename from the pull-down menu, change the name and press enter to confirm the change. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Rename.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
'''Hint:''' With a click on any other task you can abort the action.

==Move Task==
Moving task works similar to the file explorer in the desktop. First you need to ''cut'' a task by doing a right click to open the menu and selecting cut.
In the next step you need to define the destination. Do a right click on the new parent task and select ''paste''. With this
step the move action is complete.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveCutPaste.png|450px]]<br/><br/>
'''Hint:''' The following steps are optional.<br/><br/>
Tasks are hierarchically organized, therefore subtasks should follow the restrictions of their parent tasks.
This means a task target date should be not later than the parent [[Create Task#Time Interval|task target date]].
Similar restrictions exist for the [[Create Task#Task Types|task type]].
If any inconsistency occurs task are highlighted in yellow. The following steps explain how to make tasks consistent. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveProblem.png|650px]]<br/><br/>
The following figure illustrates the inconsistency problem of target dates on a conceptual level. After moving the task, the target date is
inconsistent and it is shown in yellow. There are two approaches to solve this problem. You can postpone the target date of the current task or
you postpone the target date of the parent task. <br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveSolutions.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
This figure illustrates changing the tasks target date.<br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveSolutiona.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
The figure below illustrates changing the parent task's target date.<br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveSolutionb.png|550px]]<br/><br/>

'''Hint:''' The task warnings automatically disappear when the tasks are consistent again.<br/><br/>

==Move Task to Toplevel==
Tasks cannot be [[#Move Task|moved]] by cut and paste to top-level. Instead,
select a task by right clicking and select '''ToToplevel''' in the pull-down menu. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_MoveToToplevel.png|450px]]<br/><br/>

==Delete Task==
Every task can be deleted with a right click and selecting delete from the pull-down menu. Deleting a task means also deleting all of its
subtasks. The system will as you to confirm that you want to delete all these tasks.
[[File:Docu_Delete.png|550px]]<br/><br/>

'''Hint:''' This action can not be undone easily.

[[Category:Docu]] <table id="wt-documentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="content">
The '''Task Alert''' shows all tasks which are overdue. A task is overdue when the target date is past by and the progress is not 100 percent.
On the top of the wiki, a '''red alert bell''' indicates that you have at least one overdue task. Hover or click on it and all overdue tasks are listed. With one more
click you can open the task page.
You can modify the [[Create Task#Time Interval|target date]] if you need more time.
As you do more work, change the [[Create Task#Progress|progress]] until the task is 100 percent completed. <br/><br/>

Create Task

2014-08-29T21:19:30Z

Admin: Creating new page with Category: Docu

[[Category:Docu]] <table id="wt-documentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="content">
This page explains how to '''[[#Create Plain Task|create new tasks]]''' and how to
'''[[#Add Task Attributes|add task attributes]]'''. It also explains how to '''[[#Add Additional Properties|add additional properties]]'''
and how to '''[[#Add Content| add new content]]'''. Remember to login before creating an new task.

==Create Plain Task==
A new '''root task''' can be created via the '''[[Exploring Tasks#Task Explorer|Task Explorer]]''' and '''new subtasks''' via the
'''[[Exploring Tasks#Subtask Explorer|Subtask Explorer]]'''. Start by clicking on the plus button, an input
field appears. Type the name of the new task and press enter to confirm. If you have an expertise keyword selected when you create a new
root task, then the system will automatically add that expertise keyword to the task. If the My Tasks tab is selected when you add a new task, the system will set you up as its owner.<br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_CreateTask1.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_CreateTask2.png|200px]]<br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_CreateTask3.png|450px]]<br/>

==Add Task Attributes==
Task '''attributes''' are useful to describe tasks. Attributes marked with '''M''' are '''mandatory''', because they are
used by the wiki to organize tasks.
'''Attributes''' can be added after a task is created. Click on a attribute row to enable editing.
The following sub sections explain all task attributes in more detail. Different [[#Attributes States| attribute states]] are explained in the last section. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttributes.png|450px]]

===Task Types===
Task types are used by the system to estimate '''[[#Progress|progress]]''' of tasks in different ways. The framework provides three
different task types that imply a hierarchical order. We use a different shade of green in the task state icon for every task type.

'''Different task types:'''
<table style="font-size:smaller;">
<tr>
<td><span style="color:#b7db7b; font-size:17px;">�</span><b>High</b></td>
<td>
High abstraction level → High uncertainty in the estimation of task completion.<br/>
<span style="font-style:italic;">Tasks at a high level for a project may have uncertain duration and end date.</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="color:#76b531; font-size:17px;">�</span><b>Medium</b></td>
<td>
Medium abstraction level → Medium uncertainty in the estimation of task completion.<br/>
<span style="font-style:italic;">Tasks representing an activity within a project may be split into several subtasks.</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="color:#448200; font-size:17px;">�</span><b>Low</b></td>
<td>
Low abstraction level → Low uncertainty in the estimation of task completion.<br/>
<span style="font-style:italic;">Small, well-defined tasks that can be accomplished in a short time period.</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>
'''Task hierarchy examples:'''<br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttribute_Type_HierachySample.png|550px]]<br/><br/>
'''Rules for assigning a task type:'''<br/>
<b>
<span style="font-size:smaller;">
<span style="color:#b7db7b; font-size:17px;">�</span>High ≤
<span style="color:#76b531; font-size:17px;">�</span>Medium ≤
<span style="color:#448200; font-size:17px;">�</span>Low
</span>
</b><br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttribute_Type_SelectType.png|400px]]<br/><br/>

===Progress===
The progress of a task indicates how much work has been done as a percentage. The system automatically estimates
progress depending on the '''[[#Task Type|task type]]'''.
The level of progress of high-level tasks is estimated based on the start date, today's date and
the target date. For medium-level tasks, the progress is estimated by aggregating the progress of their subtasks as an average. The progress of low-level
task is always set by the user. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttribute_ProgressCalculation.png|350px]]<br/><br/>
'''Hint:''' Medium-level tasks will hardly ever get done unless you decompose them into clear smaller low-level subtasks.<br/>

===Time Interval===
This section summarizes the meta data attributes '''start date''' and '''target date'''. The time intervals for a task and its subtasks
follow a strictly hierarchical approach. Therefore, the start and target dates of any task must be within the time interval of
the parent task. This leads to a time funnel illustrated on the figure below. If any inconsistency occurs
it will be highlighted in yellow in the Task Status and the Timeline View.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttribute_TimeFunnel.png|300px]]

===Owner===
A task '''owner''' is responsible for coordinating the activities for a task and overseeing its completion.
Therefore the system expects exactly one owner. All task which are assigned to you as owner are shown in your My Task
tab and on your [[Person Page|person page]]. Persons who have a wiki account are shown in blue and linked to their wiki page.
Persons who do not have an account are shown in red. See [[#Participant|participant]] example. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttribute_Owner.png|100px]]

===Participant===
Every task can have many participants. These persons may represent a team or just a working group for the task. Participants
who have a wiki account are shown in blue and linked to their [[Person Page|person page]].
Persons who do not have an account are shown in red. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttribute_Participants.png|200px]]

===Expertise===
Expertise keywords are used to indicate the knowledge you might need to accomplish a task. Several expertise keywords can be assigned to a given task. You can easily recognize
expertise keywords in any page by the grey rectangle around them. The [[Exploring Tasks#Task Explorer|task explorer]] allows to search for tasks with certain expertise keywords.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddAttribute_Expertise.png|140px]]

===Attributes States===
The task attribute state is represented with different colors for the attribute icons.
<table style="font-size:smaller;">
<tr>
<td><span style="color:#cccccc; font-size:17px;">�</span><b>Not defined</b></td>
<td>
No value for this attribute set.<br/>
<span style="font-style:italic;">You can set this attribute value.</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="color:#b7db7a; font-size:17px;">�</span><b>Valid</b></td>
<td>
A valid value for this attribute is set.<br/>
<span style="font-style:italic;">You can modify the value.</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="color:#fed800; font-size:17px;">�</span><b>Inconsistent</b></td>
<td>
A value that is inconsistent with the parent task is set.<br/>
<span style="font-style:italic;">You can change this value or value of the parent task. Hover over icon to get more instructions.</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

==Add Additional Attributes==
Adding additional custom attributes allow to structure any page content with '''key value''' pairs. These additional attributes help to make page content searchable by
custom properties. You can add a new property by clicking on the add button. Click on the cross to remove a certain property.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Create_AddProperty.png|550px]]<br/>
'''Hint:''' You can add more attributes with the same name and a different value. E.g. this content could be led by two persons.<br/>

==Add Content==
After you have added some attributes, you can start adding content to the task page. Click on '''edit''' in the top navigation.
The page editor opens and shows the current page content. Note that even empty pages may already have content generated by the system. This is shown on the example below.
'''<span style="color:red;">It is important that all system-generated content remains untouched</span>'''. You can add your content between the '''<code>[ [Category:Task] ]</code>''' line and before
'''<code>{{#set ... }}</code>'''.<br/><br/>

Basic Task States

2014-08-29T21:19:22Z

Admin: Creating new page with Category: Docu

[[Category:Docu]] <table id="wt-documentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="content">
This page explains representation of the most common task states. More advanced task states are explained in the section
'''[[Extended Task States| extended task states]]'''. Tasks can be '''[[#Underspecified Tasks|underspecified tasks]]'''
or '''[[#Fully specified Tasks| fully specified tasks]]'''. At the end of this page we include a diagram to illustrate how the task state changes over time.
<br/><br/>

==Underspecified Tasks==
Tasks are underspecified when important information is missing, such as the start date or the owner (these are '''mandatory attributes''').
All underspecified tasks are shown
with rings. The green portion of the ring represents the progress in adding the mandatory task attributes. Mandatory attributes
are the task '''Type''', '''Progress''', '''Start date''', '''Target date''' and the '''Owner'''.
Tasks missing other attributes such as '''Participants''' and '''Expertise''' are not considered underspecified, so they do not affect the ring symbol.

===Task created===
<table>
<tr>
<td>[[File:Docu_StateNormalCreated.png|30px]]</td>
<td style="vertical-align:middle">
<p style="margin:0px;">
This is the first task state after creation. A wiki page with the task name exists, but no mandatory attributes have been specified.

<td style="vertical-align:middle">
<p style="margin:0px;">
A task has some attributes specified. The proportion of attributes specified is visualized in
this state.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

==Fully specified Tasks==
Tasks are fully specified when all mandatory attributes have been set. This state is shown with a pie chart.
The grey part shows work left to be done as a percentage, and the green shows the work that has already been done. The colors can differ depending on
the task state as we explain next.

===Task in Progress===
<table>
<tr>

This page documents how you can be a participant in any task with only few simple steps. Once you '''[[#Add yourself as participant|add yourself as a task participant]]''',
you can start '''[[#Add Content|to add content]]'''. After you have added content you can '''[[#Set Progress|set the progress]]''' on the task so far.

==Add yourself as participant==
It is important to add yourself as participant before you start working on a task. This helps everyone see who is involved and contributing.
Open the task of your choice. Every task page has a '''task attributes''' section. This section contains an attribute named '''participants'''.
Click on this row to open the edit mode. Type your '''<code><firstname lastname></code>''' and press enter to confirm your participation.
If you want to remove yourself click on the red delete button next to the name.<br/><br/>

==Add Content==
After you have added yourself as participant you can start adding content to the task page. Click on '''edit''' on the top of the page.
The page editor opens and shows the current page content. Note that even task pages that appear empty already have content generated by the system.
This is shown on the example below.
'''<span style="color:red;">It is important that all system generated content remains untouched</span>'''. You can add your content between the '''<code>[ [Category:Task] ]</code>''' line and before
'''<code>{{#set ... }}</code>'''.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Participating_EditContent.png|375px]]

==Set Progress==
After you have added content to the task page, you can adjust the progress on the task to reflect how much of it has been completed.
Go to the line that has the '''progress''' attribute and edit the percentage shown.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Participating_SetProgress.png|375px]]<br/><br/>
'''Hint:''' A lock next to the progress attribute indicates that the system adjusts the progress automatically.

Depending on your purpose you can choose between the '''[[#Task Explorer|task explorer]]''', the '''[[#Subtask Explorer|subtask explorer]]'''
and the '''[[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]]'''. The best choice to browse within all tasks is the '''[[#Task Explorer|task explorer]]''', which appears on the left side of the screen.
In case you want to browse subtasks of a certain task you should use the '''[[#Subtask Explorer|subtask explorer]]'''.
Alternatively you can use the '''[[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]]''' to browse subtasks and see their time dependencies.
The following figure illustrates these three different task browsing options. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_Overview.png|600px|Exploring Tasks Overview]]

==Task Explorer==
The Task Explorer appears on the left of the screen. It shows all tasks in the wiki organized in a tree hierarchy, with subtasks indented. This Task Explorer works comparable with the file browser in a desktop.
By default all top level task are visible. Every task with a
small triangle has at least one subtask, and can be expanded with a left mouse click on the triangle.
The wiki page for any task can be opened with a single left mouse click on the task name.

===All Tasks Tab===
This tab of the Task Explorer shows all existing tasks in the wiki. You can use this to explore tasks within the wiki.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_AllTaskTab.png|200px]]

===My Tasks Tab===
This tab of the Task Explorer shows all tasks that you own. All other tasks are invisible or greyed out. Parent tasks which are needed to
represent the task hierarchy are greyed out. A red counter behind the tab label indicates how many tasks you have currently assigned to you as owner.
The [[#My Tasks Tab|My Tasks tab]] is only visible for users who are logged in. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_MyTaskTab.png|200px]]

===Task Name Search===
The Task Name Search allows you to search the task names. You can apply this search either
to the [[#All Tasks Tab|All Tasks tab]] or the [[#My Tasks Tab| My Tasks tab]]. All matching results are shown in the Task Explorer.
Parent tasks of matching tasks are shown but faded, just to provide context. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_TextSearch.png|200px]]

===Expertise Filter===
The Expertise Filter works similar to the [[#Task Name Search|Task Name Search]], but it searches for tasks that are marked with the expertise indicated.
It offers a pull-down menu with the kinds of expertise already defined in the wiki.
The pull-down menu shows in brackets a number that indicates how many tasks have that expertise. After
selecting a certain expertise, the matching tasks are shown. The [[#Task Name Search| Task Name Search]] and the
[[#Expertise Filter|Expertise Filter]] can be combined. If both are applied, all results shown will match both criteria. <br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_ExpertiseFilter.png|200px]]

===Hierarchical View and List View===
The Task Explorer can show two different views of the tasks: the '''hierarchical view'''
and the '''list view'''. The hierarchical view shows the task-subtask hierarchy, and is the default view.
Furthermore the amount of tasks is smaller due to the nested task structure.
The list view does not show a parent or subtask hierarchy. The list view is more convenient when the hierarchy view shows a lot of faded tasks.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_View.png|420px]]

===Resizing===
Some task names are only partially shown because they are simply too long. Therefore you can resize the width of the Task Explorer.
Hover the mouse over the blue rectangle with the white arrows to the left and right. After that, '''left click''', then
'''hold''' and then '''move to the left''' or '''move to the right'''.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_Resizing.png|250px]]

==Subtask Explorer==
The [[#Subtask Explorer| Subtask Explorer]] is basically to browse subtasks of the task currently opened in the wiki page.
The name of the current task shown in the wiki page is larger and the task icon is more detailed
with a number that indicates the percentage of the task that is completed (this will be explained later).
Above the current task name, the '''parent task''' is shown if there is one.
Below it, all its '''subtasks''' are listed and can be expanded.<br/><br/>
[[File:Docu_Exploring_SubtaskExplorer.png|550px]]

==Timeline Explorer==
The [[#Timeline Explorer|timeline explorer]] can be opened with click on the blue '''Timeline''' tab on the top right.
Similar to the [[#Subtask Explorer| subtask explorer]], all subtasks of the current task are shown. The Timeline Explorer
shows all subtasks in a time context comparable to a Gantt chart. The x-axis represents the time, and each bar shows a subtask. A number within
a bar represents the progress of that subtask. Today's date is marked with a vertical red line. Every task can be
opened with a simple click.<br/><br/>

Task Representation

[[Category:Task]]

== About this task ==

This task involves a new design for wiki pages for Tasks, and the implementation of this design.

<span style="color:#00BFFF">'''STATUS: The design is completed. The implementation is in progress.'''</span>

== The Design of Task Pages ==

A task has a '''task name''', which is the name of its wiki page.

A task has a '''unique identifier''' which is the URL of its wiki page, which can be used to refer to the task within the wiki or outside the wiki.

Task pages have four major features: the task context, the task content, the task properties, and the task answers. These features are explained below.

The mockup below illustrates the visualization of task pages.

<div style="border:1px solid #eeeeee; width:610px">[[File:Mockup_1_Task_Representation.png|600px]]</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; width:610px; font-size:smaller; color:#999999; font-style:italic; padding-left:5px;">Task Representation Mockup</div>

== Task Context ==

To ensure that all task participants know the context, the '''parent task''' is placed above the task name.

Below the task name, the '''subtasks''' are listed.

== Task Progress ==

The '''task progress''' is an estimate of how far the task is from completion. Making task progress transparent helps those responsible for tasks that depend on an earlier task because they can see the task progress and have expectations about when the results will be completed.

The system generates automatically estimates of the task progress based on the start and end date of the task, which are task properties. These estimates are shown as pie chart icons in front of each task name represent the current progress. The details of how these estimates are generated are described in the [[Progress Tracking| Progress Tracking]] page.

== Task Content ==

The '''task content''' describes the work being done for the task, explains important related knowledge, and provides links to other related wiki pages or external sites.

== Task Properties ==

'''Task properties''' help to organize task information. These properties are structured, which allows users to create queries for tasks that have similar properties.

All Task pages contain the following Properties:

* '''Type''': high, medium, or low level task

* one or more field of '''expertise''', used to show users tasks relevant to their expertise.

* '''Start date''' and '''end date''' are important properties, used to track the [[Progress Tracking| task progress]].

* Every task has exactly one '''leader''' who is responsible for this task and many participants who contribute.

: <span style="color:#5F9EA0"> I think we should state the criteria for the "type", i.e., what makes a task medium vs low level -- [[Yolanda_Gil | Yolanda]] </span>
:: <span style="color:#808080"> Typical types for certain tasks explaind on [[Progress Tracking#Typical task samples for certain task types| Progress Tracking]] -- [[Felix]] </span>

Contributors can add new properties.

== Task Answers ==

'''Task Answers''' provide a brief summary of the results of the task. Task answers are normally added after the task content is elaborated. Task answers can be added before completion while the task is being worked on.
