Approach for dealing with notes but making them as machine-readable as possible? #67

Closed joethorley closed 4 years ago

joethorley commented 4 years ago

Perhaps the biggest remaining issue is the tension between having machine-readable information and the plethora of notes some of them which are quite extensive.

A possible solution is to have various Note categories - we already have ConditionNotes, LimitNotes - but add things like for example MethodNotes which are additional information on the method used to generate the limit etc.

Computers could then search by note type and value to do useful filtering.

And we could append all the note types together and provide them in a single Note box for the shiny app.

Thoughts?
