Tagging citizen science datasets #415

Open MortenHofft opened 2 years ago

MortenHofft commented 2 years ago

@ManonGros you have been tagging datasets that seem to be citizen science. We discussed moving it to another namespace, that the website could use to display a label. What namespace should would that be? And could you ideally provide an example - just to avoid misunderstandings and in case you use the name and value for something.

Thanks @MortenHofft! First, Kyle also thought it would be a good idea to display those tags so we can go ahead with that.

I decided to put the tags to display under the namespace citizenScience.gbif.org.

I put the value not_reviewed for the name status as a disclaimer that this tag wasn't reviewed by the data provider (it is just something that I put). I think it is fine to display the machineTag even if the status is not_reviewed. We could display or not those values but it would probably require some context for the users. Not sure what is best.

In any case, would it make sense to add a question mark/FAQ link next to the tag displayed to explain that if the dataset isn't actually a citizen science dataset, please contact heldpesk@gbif.org?

Tagging @ahahn-gbif in case she has anything to add on the topic.

Looks good to me, thanks!

Sounds good to me to have that FAQ entry yes. Not stating how and where it shows (as that will likely change over time), but simple that some datasets are labelled as such (could be an API user that looked it up as well) and that corrections are welcomed?
