Description

From Shawn:

5. I still think we should display the current drop-down term
selection as a panel in the right-hand side portion of the editor
(where the plain old metadata is viewed now). There are multiple
reasons for this: (a) currently when it is viewed as a drop down it
hides the table (i.e., what we are trying to annotate); (b) it
prohibits any kind of static interaction with the component, e.g., i
can't search it or look through it without performing an annotation;
and (c) I think we could add more features to the panel to make it
easier to search and see search results if it were a static widget on
the canvas, as opposed to a drop down. I think we could make this
context sensitive, but not "focus stealing". So, e.g., if I were to
click on the <characteristic> in the madlib, i'd only see active in
the "ontology palette" the characteristic portion.
