AQUA

AQUA enhances search and retrieval within the SPARC Portal to accelerate discovery of datasets, models, and resources that support anatomical and functional mapping of the peripheral nervous system.

Key Features:

• Near-Real-Time Auto-Completion: Performs near-real-time prediction of query term completions to accelerate query formulation.
• Close-Matches Suggestions: Generates suggestions of closely related terms or datasets when exact matches are not found.
• Multiple Filters: Applies multiple filters to refine and sort result sets according to specified criteria.

Scientific Applications:

• SPARC dataset discovery: Improves retrieval of relevant datasets, models, and resources housed in the SPARC Portal.
• Peripheral nervous system mapping: Supports locating data relevant to constructing anatomical and functional maps of the peripheral nervous system.
• Comparative and integrative analyses: Enables identification of related datasets and models for comparative analyses and model development in peripheral nervous system research.

Methodology:

Implements near-real-time auto-completion, close-match suggestion generation, and multi-criteria result filtering.
