Canned and Constrained UI
As a framework (or suggestion) for the general SRG UI, I'm thinking about something similar to Google Notebook
Sample Screenshot
As per the 'Guide Author Interface' section of Bill's Research Guide document, the Google Notebook UI model provides us with:
- A re-orderable rendering of the current content - using JavaScript drag and drop
- A metadata/properties panel (almost)
- A section-creating area
- A new-item staging area
- A new-item creating "windowlet" (almost)
Canned UI
1 Setup and description
2 Selecting what to add
3 Creating Canned Search Link
4 Link (uneditable)
5 Link (editable)
Constrained UI
Similar to Canned Search, but end with a search box (plus additional fields, perhaps).
