We are pleased to report that CEDAR template creators can now import from over 60,000 of NCI’s caDSR Common Data Elements (CDEs) to build new Fields in CEDAR. Using CEDAR’s search, browsing, and viewing services template builders can easily build a form based partly or entirely on CDEs from caDSR. Over the last 18 months, […]
After providing contributions to the GO FAIR project over the last 18 months, CEDAR will be a significant participant in GO FAIR’s FAIR Funder Implementation Study. This collaborative project will demonstrate a new level of integrated and FAIR metadata, making data projects funded by research agencies demonstrably more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. As one […]
We released version 2.4 of the CEDAR Workbench on September 6, providing more user features and enhancements. OpenView offers public option for CEDAR artifacts Did you ever want to show your template or metadata values to a colleague, without logging in? Do you want to view all your metadata on the web? Or maybe you’d […]
We released version 2.3 of the CEDAR Workbench on May 1, offering significant new user features and internal capabilities.
We significantly updated CEDAR’s value recommendation capabilities in this release. The new approach adopts a powerful mechanism to suggest new values for fields in a templates as users fill in those fields. If the template creator enables the value recommender for at least 2 text fields (using each field’s SUGGESTIONS tab), CEDAR will find patterns across all the previously entered values for recommendation-enabled fields. If those patterns are strong enough over many metadata instances, CEDAR will recommend values to a user based on the (enabled) values that the user has already filled in.
This functionality is documented in more detail here.
CEDAR now provides Shared With Me and Shared With Everybody modes on the workspace to let users see globally shared resources, or just resources explicitly shared with them. The default Workspace view just shows the files you own and administer. Shared with Me shows content that someone shared with you directly; and Shared with Everybody shows content that all CEDAR users can see (there are a lot of those!).
Your searches will always find everything you can see, no matter how it was shared.
