Requirements

 * Storage of query history (i.e., URLs) in a user’s Dryad profile.
 * Scheduling of pre-constructed queries (i.e., query URLs), with email alerting.
 * Support for user collections (i.e., stored, viewable, annotatable, exportable, publishable/DOI-able sets of datasets).

Back-end processes
The addition of functionality to user profiles to allow users to store their query history (a dated list of the URLs for queries run while logged in).

User interface
The image below shows a simple implementation of a search history. Next to the date are the terms used in the query; user terms in black, system-supplied filter terms hyperlinked to that term in the browser also suggested for this phase. The direct links should simply launch a new frame/window and pass the stored URL into it. Note that this system does not return a fixed results set as the underlying data will change. It does however offer the opportunity for users to construct and re-run queries carefully tuned to their needs. ""
