Needs and Goals

Last updated on 2017-04-03

Before we can even think about adding data visualizations we need working examples of Kinetic Models. So to that end I need to write a script to create and import Kinetic Models. This currently requires the creation of several new Kinetics model types (Arrhenius, Chebyshev, etc.,). Only when actual Kinetic Models are in the database can we then write search functions and good visualizations for Kinetic model detail views.

So based on my meeting with Nate, these are the most important features to add to the website:

Nate is mostly interested in the graphing capabilities of the website so far. He would like the ability to display two models graphed against each other, with the kinetics of each reaction in the models as a data point an a linear regression running through the scatter plot.

He would also like the ability to take a graph of all models for a certain reaction (natural log of K vs Temp) and selectively remove one or more reactions and watch how that affects the average.

In terms of useful searches, he feels that the most useful parameters to search by would be reaction, source, year of publication, and author.
