Possible new parameters for annotations endpoint #19

Open hollyel opened 7 years ago

hollyel commented 7 years ago

Possibly include parameters for quality_score and annotatedBy in the annotations endpoint.

Including quality_score so that a user can search for annotations giving high value quality_score, which would show matches between specimen records and publications with high probability of being valid.

With variation in types of annotations and in people adding annotations, having a parameter for annotatedBy would enable someone to find particular annotations added by a known, verified, user. EG someone adding suggestions on edits or updates to specimen records.

Other possible use cases: With a combination of searches, or possibly composited endpoints, and improved search on institution and collections codes... search for all USNM (Smithsonian Natural History Museum) specimens that have an annotation for a matching publication with a high value quality_score. This search could help a collections unit identify publications for their specimens or with a second tool utilize the matches to compare data between the specimen record and the publication record to make suggestions for backfilling missing data points in the specimen record.

I've added param for quality score ( filters greater than value entered ) I'll push when I'm able to access the API server again. Drexel is blocking outbound traffic to that port.
