New Features, Improvements and/or Bug-fixes
General
IMPROVEMENT eagle-i has an updated look and feel. See Prerequisites for Upgrading for important information related to this update.
IMPROVEMENT The embedded search bar has a new look to match the update. There is no longer a "browse" link as part of the search bar. See Prerequisites for Upgrading for important information related to this update.
- It is now possible to customize the link(s) for the search bar, i.e. text of link.
Search application
Applies to both central and institutional search, unless otherwise specified.
- NEW FEATURE CENTRAL iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cell) search now available. This feature issues a federated SPARQL query to all institutions in the network that have iPSCs. Users are able to download results as a csv file. No additional configuration is required to set up this feature.
- PUBLIC SPARQL ENDPOINT This feature accesses the public SPARQL endpoint at each institution to determine availability of iPSCs and to execute a SPARQL query. Institutions who would like to have their iPSC lines searchable through this feature must install the public SPARQL endpoint.
Website

- IMPROVEMENT Website now checks to make sure institutions have a public SPARQLer before listing them on the export page.
- PUBLIC SPARQL ENDPOINT If an institution does not have a public SPARQLer version 2.0MS3.07 or later, they will not be represented on the export page.
