 ===== Definition ===== ===== Definition =====
-The purpose ​is to search for similar [[proteingroups#​protein groups]], i.e. protein groups+Context ​is a central notion in hEIDI. Basically, it contains identification results, i.e. a set of proteins identified by a set of peptides.\\  
-  * having the same set of proteins +There are two types of contexts in hEIDI
-  * identified ​by a same set of peptides+  * Search context: each identification result from Mascot, or from any other identification engine, is automatically "​encapsulated"​ into one Search context. 
 +  * User context: it is created ​by the user in order to gather together several identification results into User context. In order to have non-redundant sets of proteins for a given context, proteins need to be grouped to build "​Protein Groups"​.
  
-The Dice coefficient is used to measure similarity (result ranges from 0 to 1).+===== Context tree view =====

 +A User context is represented by {{:​usercontext.png|}}.\\ 
 +A User context contains either child contexts or identifications but can't have both at the same level.\\
  
-==== Compare two contexts with each other ====+There are multiple reasons for grouping several identifcations under the same User context: 
 +  * Same biological origin 
 +  * Same gel 
 +  * Same culture condition 
 +  * Same chromatographic column 
 +  * ...
  
-{{:​contextComparison.png?​260 }} +==== Search Context ====
-It compares every protein groups of the first context with every protein groups of the second context.\\ +
-Comparing two protein groups each other means: +
-  * Checking the similarity of their protein sets (FIXME sameset and subset) +
-  * Checking the similarity of their peptide sets +
-  * Checking if "​master"​ proteins are identical+
  
-==== Compare N contexts ==== +{{:​searchcontextshierarchy.png |}} 
-This comparison ​is similar to the previous onesimilarity measure and FIXME "best alignment"​\\ +Search context ​is represented by {{:context.png|}}.
-Each context ​is compared with a "​unique reference"​First of all, this reference is built from the identification union, i.e. the parent context.+

-===== GUI: Compare contexts each other ===== 
- ​{{:​compareeachother.png |Compare contexts each other}} 
-  - Select the two contexts (for which protein grouping has been executed) you want to compare each other 
-  - Right-click and select "​Algorithms->​Compare with->​Each Other" 
-  - The comparison window display the result 
-  - You can save results as a .xls, .pdf or .html file using the "​Export"​ button

-===== GUI: Compare context with its children ===== 
- 
-{{:​comparewithchildren.png |Compare a context with its children}} ​ 
-  - Select the context of your choice (first, protein grouping needs to be run for this context and its childs) 
-  - Right-click and select “Algorithms→Compare with→Children” 
-  - The comparison window display the result 
-  - Select the characteristic you want to compare ​
