Data use conditions and querying

[anuradhawick]

Greetings,

I am implementing a querying capability that honours data use conditions attached to datasets. Following the documentation at https://github.com/EBISPOT/DUO, I was not able to identify a correct way to call API around this.

Ideally, the querying party should be able to explicitly specify their intended data use scenario using DUO terms (AKA data use category) which shall then be matched against the DUO terms attached to datasets. Using these terms right within filters does not seem appropriate as they behave in a significantly different manner.

Would you be able to comment on this?

What would be nice is to have an attribute to specify them as below;

{
    "query": {
        "filters": [],
        "requestedGranularity": "record"
    },
    "dataAccess" {
        "duoDataUse": [
             {
                  "id": "DUO:0000018",
                  "modifiers": [ { "id": "MONDO:0005105" } ]
             },
        ]
    },
    "meta": {
        "apiVersion": "v2.0"
    }
}

Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks

IMHO, querying DUOs fit in the filtering terms for datasets, BUT not that much with the AND boolean operator Beacon principle.
Although I don't see that option totally blocked, I believe it is worth to explore how to address the DUO querying using requestParameters, like in genomic_variations endpoint.
Do you want to give it a try?

Yes. I will give it a go. I'll share my solution when I'm done. Thanks for the feedback.
