Filtering by specific key entities

[Jeena-Rajan]

As a data consumer I want to be able to filter by age or specific key entities so that I can easily find datasets that are relevant to my research on the eLwazi data catalogue.

Notable information: The 'specific key entities' are yet to be decided, and will be decided in two main ways.

1. We have a rough idea of what broad categories are relevant, which we will build upon - see columns here - this would be great to demo
2. Which key entities do we want to filter by?
3. Feedback from the eLwazi Catalogue Meeting on January 24th

e.g. (Does your dataset include certain variables?)

Would be great to be able to filter by clicking on icons (low priority / nice to have)

Have a discussion on AND vs OR conditions of filtering for the future

Design discussion about this required

This requires modeling. Is each dataset category (demographic, surveillance) modeled as a separate boolean property or is the dataset's category list a single property it of type list? In case of the latter, there needs to be a configuration that indicates to show each list item as a column with a boolean value.

Pros for list field:

• easier to implement a filter

Cons to list field:

• need to implement making a column for each item in the list with an indicator value for each row

Cons to boolean properties:

• need to implement a filter that gets its values from a list of fields.
