Explore document database for managing metadata #15

Closed jonmjoyce closed 6 months ago

jonmjoyce commented 2 years ago

One goal is to get a centralized view of the data. In order to do that, we need to be able to query across all data elements in the system. Although the metadata is intended to be decentralized, a document database such as MongoDB can serve as a data warehouse for exploring available data.

We should load metadata from several different sources and see how we can more easily aggregate and find commonalities among the data.
