Parameter Search #1

Open ashepherd opened 3 years ago

Consider how we want to represent parameters with the new changes coming to the parameter conceptual model with the work @jsaunders and @kblumberg are doing.

@sauuyer suggested reviewing how ICPSR presents their parameters from a perspective of interoperability https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/search/variables?start=0&sort=score%20desc%2CVARLABEL_SORT%20asc&EXTERNAL_FLAG=1&ARCHIVE=ICPSR&rows=50&q=cat

TO-DO: 1) Flesh out a new conceptual model for parameters 2) Map this conceptual model to UIs in the web redesign considering

Commenting to add that the ICPSR parameter (or variable search) focuses more on submitter-provided metadata to be searched, rather than data manager entered data. This helps shape search results so they show all of the ways in which a concept is represented in present variables. So for the cat example linked above, related parameters could be "type of cat," "age of cat," "do you have a pet?," etc. (note: the data stored in ICPSR is predominately social science and policy-related survey response data.)
