Description
The Postgraduate Education Program in Clinical and Translational Science (PGE) at Harvard Medical School has been offering educational content through their Advanced Curriculum Compendium (ACC) and Educational Video Library (EVL) for many years, through the Harvard Catalyst website. PGE sought to combine the two separate collections into one database, to map their categories to the N-Lighten educational resources ontology and to create a filter-based discovery interface embedded into the PGE web page.
The eagle-i platform was developed in 2009 as an ontology-driven discovery tool for biomedical research resources. In 2018, it was successfully adapted to use the N-Lighten educational resources ontology, including the search and editing tools. Although PGE wanted to keep those tools, they also wanted a search interface for end users that could be incorporated into their presence on the Harvard Catalyst website. The eagle-i team collaborated with PGE to create this new search interface leveraging the N-Lighten proof-of-concept to meet local needs.
Learning Objective: After viewing this poster, a person should:
-Learn the steps needed to adapt a discovery tool platform to local descriptive/search needs
-Understand the flexibility of the eagle-i platform as a discovery tool that can be adapted to different search needs
-Understand the importance of collaboration between the owners of research objects those that design and build the discovery system for them, especially when different data sources require data/ontology mapping
-Know what a requirements document contains and why it is important for successful tool development
