Thanks Morten! Here is what I propose.
For institutions: | Field | API parameter | visibility |
---|---|---|---|
Text search | q | default filter 1 | |
Code | code | default filter 2 | |
Country or area | country | default filter 3 | |
Number of Specimens | numberSpecimens | default filter 4 | |
Specimens in GBIF | occurrenceCount | default filter 5 | |
Name | name | Under "More" only | |
City | city | Under "More" only | |
Alternative code | alternativeCode | Under "More" only | |
~Identifier~ | ~identifier~ | ~Under "More" only~ | |
Active | active | Under "More" only | |
Type | type | Under "More" only - I think it would be useful as default filter but only a few hundreds institutions are tagged | |
Discipline | discipline | Under "more" only - We might change the vocabulary we use for that one but I think it should be available under "More" | |
Identifier type | identifierType | I am not sure, I think it is useful mostly for me so I wouldn't put it on the website for now | |
Institutional governance | institutionalGovernance | I think it might be important for US federal agencies, not sure how useful it is for other people, I wouldn't put it on the website for now |
For collections: | Field | API parameter | visibility |
---|---|---|---|
Text search | q | default filter 1 | |
Institution | institution | default fiter 2 | |
Code | code | default filter 3 | |
Country or area | country | default filter 4 | |
Number of Specimens | numberSpecimens | default filter 5 | |
Specimens in GBIF | occurrenceCount | default filter 6 | |
Personal Collection | personalCollection | Under "More" only | |
Name | name | Under "More" only | |
City | city | Under "More" only | |
Alternative code | alternativeCode | Under "More" only | |
~Identifier~ | ~identifier~ | ~Under "More" only~ | |
Active | active | Under "More" only | |
Content type | contentType | Under "More" only - not sure about this since so few records have the info but maybe we could try? | |
Preservation type | preservationType | Under "More" only - same as the content type |
@MortenHofft I have assigned you the issue for implementation. I put it on the milestone for making the website public (mid-october) but if this isn't realistic, let me know.
@ManonGros They have been added. But could you please provide me with a description for each of the filters that I can add as the about text for each filter?
Thanks Morten! This is really cool!
I think you are right, the identifier filter is confusing. I agree that we should remove it.
Here are some descriptions for the different filters:
Field | API parameter | description |
---|---|---|
Text search | q | Free text search across several fields. |
Code | code | The primary code that identifies the institution as a whole. If you get no result, try the Alternative code filter. |
Country or area | country | Country in the institution's address. |
Number of Specimens | numberSpecimens | Number of specimens hosted by the institution. |
Specimens in GBIF | occurrenceCount | Number of specimen occurrences published on GBIF and linked to the institution entry. |
Name | name | The name of the institution. |
City | city | City in the institution's address. |
Alternative code | alternativeCode | Any additional code that is already in use for the same institution in other contexts (for example, historical codes). |
Active | active | Whether the entry correspond to an active institution or a historical listing for an institution that no longer exists. |
Type | type | Institution type (Museum, Herbarium, etc.) |
Discipline | discipline | The research disciplines the the institution houses. |
For collections: | Field | API parameter | description |
---|---|---|---|
Text search | q | Free text search across several fields. | |
Institution | institution | The name of institution hosting the collection. | |
Code | code | The primary code that identifies the collection. If you get no result, try the Alternative code filter. |
|
Country or area | country | Country where the collection is hosted. | |
Number of Specimens | numberSpecimens | Number of specimens in the collection. | |
Specimens in GBIF | occurrenceCount | Number of specimen occurrences published on GBIF and linked to the collection entry. | |
Personal Collection | personalCollection | Selects private or personal collections. | |
Name | name | The name of the collection. | |
City | city | City where the collection is hosted. | |
Alternative code | alternativeCode | Any additional code that is already in use for the same collection in other contexts (for example, historical codes). | |
Active | active | Whether the entry correspond to an active collection or a historical listing for an collection that no longer exists. | |
Content type | contentType | The type of objects available in the collection. | |
Preservation type | preservationType | The method used to preserve the objects available in the collection. |
I've updated the texts, but some of those that are almost the same for institution and collection I made into one. That might not be ideal, but I think I had a bug that requires fixing before I can differentiate. I will look into that.
E.g. instead of Alternative code: Any additional code that is already in use for the same collection in other contexts (for example, historical codes). I write Alternative code: Any additional code that is already in use in other contexts (for example, historical codes).
Thanks Morten!
@ManonGros could you please review what filters we have for institutions and collections in the UI and tell me which you believe should be added? Machine tags for example is something that we probably do not want to expose. But what about content types - I think is somewhat dependent on how that field is used in practice. If only 1 percent use it and it is complete nonsense, then we should think twice before adding it one could argue.
And secondly which should be the default visible and in which order?
