[ome-users] Handling public data

[Christophe TREFOIS]

Why is it not possible to copy data to a public group ?

It does sound a little bit strange as users will have to break out their data from the structure they created.

Re-uploading is an option, but a little bit silly, as we would duplicate usage space.

Hopefully there will be a solution for that soon :)

Best,

Hi Jake,

 Any user on the OMERO that wants to make some of their data public needs to be added to the 'public group'.
They can then move their data into that group. This will make it visible to the 'public user'.
In OMERO.insight or web, you can right-click on an image in the left-panel hierarchy and choose "Move to group",
then choose the "public" group. You can choose to organise images within Projects & Datasets in the
public group if you wish, but it's not necessary for linking to the image via webgateway viewer.

Unfortunately it's not possible to copy/paste or automatically duplicate the image when you move
them to the public group.
If it's important to keep the original images in their current group, then you may want to
re-import the images directly into the public group.

Apologies that a "one-click solution" isn't yet available, but hopefully the current workflow
isn't too painful.

 Hope that helps,

   Will.

Hi all,

Further to a question or two I had a week or so ago, I've been following this:

http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5/developers/Web/PublicData.html

I'm at the point where I've got a public user and a public group and I've got a string in the OMERO config such that:

omero.web.public.url_filter=/webgateway

But what next?

I can *see* the public user in the OMERO web client. It has Read-Only permissions set on the user/group.

So how does one then (as themselves or a "normal" user of OMERO and not the public-data user) effectively "copy" data into that user/group that lives in the public space?

An example.

* Researcher A wants some of the images he/she has created to be linked to in a paper. He/she wants a one-click solution in OMERO to provide this to a journal or paper.
* The researcher already has plenty of data in OMERO sitting in his/her account under his/her own login and username, but that isn't "public data".

How or what steps in the OMERO GUI does a research take to "copy" their data (or pointers to it, depending on how omeroFS deals with these things...heh) so that it appears in the "public data" area such that it can be linked to like:

http://blah.super.cool.fqdn/webgateway/img_detail/IMAGE_ID/

To put it another way - how do they designate a piece of data to be "public" and then an appropriate or resulting public-data link is produced?

I thought I had it figured out, but when I realised as a normal user (as in, a logged in general protected user of OMERO) that they couldn't simply "copy" and "paste" or "create project" in the public-data area, I realised this might require more thought. I'm effectively trying to help them create an environment where they themselves can designate data public with the click or two of a button and then simply paste a link - but...it doesn't seem to be the case/or is that easy?

Or perhaps I'm missing something!

Talk soon and thank you for your time.

Regards,

-jc
