Still todo

• Check with frontend whether provided information is enough

Looks good already :) I added two small comments. Otherwise, Let’s wait for the frontend

2 things I noticed in the GET /api/publications API:

• A dataset contains the information about a publication, which is redundant.
• An annotation has the id in the form of annotations: [{ "id": { "id": "...." }, ... }, ...], which seems to be unnecessarily nested.

I need the name of the annotations for the UI.

I would argue, we can remove the publication field from the GET /api/datasets route

That’s good news, we weren’t sure if the front-end needs this in some other place (i.e. to link back to the publication from the dataset page or something). But if that is not needed, that will simplify the json and the backend code :)

unnecessarily nested

That’s probably just the objectid wrapper, @leowe you can un-nest it by passing annotation._id.id to the json

[normanrz]

I fixed the annotation id and added name and description to the annotation object.

So, what is left is removing the publication from the datasets.

@philippotto please review the frontend part :-)

@fm3 I now also removed the publication field in 22bfe14. Can you please check that I did that correctly?

[philippotto]

the front-end looks great 👍 nice clean up! didn't test, though, since I don't know how to do that. maybe you could prepare a dev instance where some publications are available?

[fm3]

Backend LGTM

Here you go: https://publicationsannotations.webknossos.xyz/ or https://publicationsannotations.webknossos.xyz/publications/5c766bec6c01006c018c7459
