Filter ontology term suggestions by ontology during experiment creation

[sven1103]

This feature was originally requested by Daniel S.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not all ontology terms are relevant for the researchers current use case, when creating an experiment. At the same time, the system cannot make any assumptions yet (e.g. based on keywords in the title or project description)

Describe the solution you'd like
Might be good to be able to select one particular ontology, e.g. if I work with environmental samples I would know I'd like to use ENVO.

@Shraddha0903 we can of course list the available ontologies from the TIB service (214 atm!), but I think that is overkill. Of course, we can maintain our list of active ontologies in the application, but it might not be in sync with the TIB remote service.

TIB offers collections, a set of ontologies suggested by a community. Unfortunately, many NFDIs are not represented there yet. Thus, this is not yet an option for us.

So for the time being we might need to maintain a whitelist of ontologies we want to query from the TIB service.

How could a UI element look like for that?

[Shraddha0903]

@sven1103 So our requirement here is to be able to select one category item from a list.
We already have a design which we can use for this case - a combobox on the left side of the search bar.

@Shraddha0903 the user wants to only see term suggestions from ontologies of their choice (1 up to N) and not see results from ontologies, that are not used in their research domain.

For this feature we should investigate on how to best subgroup the ontologies for easier selection convienence. Additionally, how do we handle the selection locally and remotely? Additional information for ontology entries could also help decide the user to select the one he's most interested in which is tackled here #887
