Show how a tool dependency is used.

[tschaffter]

The information page of the app shows the individual tools used by the PHI Deidentifier (e.g. person name annotator, date annotator). The table shows the type of the tool, e.g. nlpsandbox:date-annotator. When we created the web app, tools were doing a single operation like date annotation. Since then, the NLP Sandbox added the tool type nlpsandbox:phi-annotator, which implements several operations. The issue is that when using nlpsandbox:phi-annotator tools as dependency, the table no longer provide information on which operation we use them for.

A solution would be to add an extra column that shows the type of operation the tool is used for. This is not the same thing as the existing column "Type", which provides the NLP Sandbox tool type, which may implement multiple operation. So we could have:

• Type => Tool Type
• • => Operation Type

We decided:

Turn the ToolDependencies object (from an array of Tool objects) into an array of objects called ToolDependencys. These objects each have two members: a functionalType (e.g. nlpsandbox:date-annotator) and tool (a Tool).
