After the Cytoscape retreat held in San Diego in 2005, it became obvious that Cytoscape needs to support MetaNodes. A MetaNode is a graph node that contains a subgraph. There are many different ways of modeling and visualizing MetaNodes, depending on the biological application in question. The objective is to: * Clearly identify the biological applications for MetaNodes * Clearly define what type of MetaNode visualization and modeling is needed for each one of these applications * Come up with a project plan to implement these different ways of visualizing/modeling MetaNodes This RFC is a forum for discussing each one of these points. Iliana Avila developed a Cytoscape plugin that implements one possible way of modeling and visualizing MetaNodes. This plugin can be used as a concept plugin, so that everyone involved has a clearer idea of what is a MetaNode, and how it can be used. It is by no means the final implementation of MetaNodes. See "Concept Plugin" section in this Wiki to learn how to obtain plugin. = Biological Applications and their MetaNode Needs= |

Summary
After the Cytoscape retreat held in San Diego in 2005, it became obvious that Cytoscape needs to support MetaNodes. A MetaNode is a graph node that contains a subgraph. There are many different ways of modeling and visualizing MetaNodes, depending on the biological application in question.
The objective is to:
Clearly identify the biological applications for MetaNodes
Clearly define what type of MetaNode visualization and modeling is needed for each one of these applications
Come up with a project plan to implement these different ways of visualizing/modeling MetaNodes
This RFC is a forum for discussing each one of these points.
Iliana Avila developed a Cytoscape plugin that implements one possible way of modeling and visualizing MetaNodes. This plugin can be used as a concept plugin, so that everyone involved has a clearer idea of what is a MetaNode, and how it can be used. It is by no means the final implementation of MetaNodes. See "Concept Plugin" section in this Wiki to learn how to obtain plugin.
