Modify data model to support a Person's location history #21

Closed GeoffFroh closed 1 year ago

GeoffFroh commented 1 year ago

The current PersonFacility model allows for a Person to be associated with multiple Facilitys. This data is used to show how an individual moved between facilities over time; e.g., from a temporary WCCA Assembly Center to a WRA concentration camp. However, it is not flexible enough to represent other geographic history, such as where the person lived just prior to incarceration or immediately following release. The current model also omits camp addresses though there was often movement of people inside a facility.

There is existing data in the current db which can be migrated to this new model.

Draft documentation for the model schema is here, in the PersonLocation sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Kh1uuCtufA2bJTSF_gyAR83Ai4YmeKiiZcwQM3EhNio/edit?pli=1#gid=843779669

@gjost: please copy the existing data from PersonFacilitys to PersonLocation. For now, we can leave PersonFacility in place and just add PersonLocation to the admin ui.

@GeoffFroh will put together a new set of data for import
