AKS stores your past searches and
allows you to give access to the analyses to others, in the aim
of sharing and discussing them with colleagues.
Example This example guides you
through the AKS management system showing how easy it is to store
and share knowledge among users.
AKS
allows the saving of document's analyses and the visual representations
produced as projects (for more information on document analysis
see Large document set analysis).
Analyses are stored in a practical folder system, in order to keep
them organized. In Fig. 1 we have retrieved a search for the combination
of a drug and a disease. We want to perform an in-depth analysis
of the bioentities featured in the retrieved documents and the
relationships among them. If aiming to achive this goal, we have
to create an analysis. This analysis will be stored as a project.
In Fig. 2 we can see how the analysis is created by simply assigning
a name, the project and the location in the system of folders of
the project. In Fig. 3, the new analysis is created. We can see
in the list that the projects contain one of two types of analysis:
textual analysis (like the case above) or graphical representation
of bioentities and their relationships as graphs.
We can retrieve the folder lists where the previous analysis to
which we have access are stored by clicking on "Project list" on
the upper right side of the AKS window. (Fig. 4)
Fig 1. Documents retrieved by a query. The documents contain both "migraine" and "sumatriptan" at
the same time. By clicking "Create analyses" the creation of the analysis with
this document set begins.
Fig 2. Creation of an analysis.
Fig 3. The analysis is created and stored to the project we have indicated. Note
that the analyses of the project are listed and comprised by types (distinguishable
by the icon on the left side): analyses such as "Migraine and Sumatriptan" (the
one newly created) comes from the documents retrieved by a query. Analyses
like "Biosynthesis_dopamine_intermediate" are graphical representations (graphs)
of the cooccurrences in the literature among genes we have selected.
Fig 4. See how Sam Smith has access to three different project folders. One is
its own project folder, the other is the "Default project" folder shared
by every user of the system, an the third one is Ramon's project folder,
with whom he has a close collaboration.
