Expansion of source metadata fields #25

Open sadiekelly opened 7 months ago

Currently the url for the source document is captured. The information obtained from the source for the case record can be buried within the document, perhaps requiring translation. In addition there can be more than one source per case and curator decisions made upon which part of which source document should be used in the line list. It might be useful to somehow provide an audit trail for this, to show where the information came from in the source and how the line list was created to help others understand the data. Perhaps something for discussion with the curation team.

Most important item to capture is whether the source is official or not official. Do not want to create additional work for curators. Can ensure that multiple sources are linked within the final dataset and the originator of the data is cited. Curation process and how discrepancies are dealt with as a general procedure could be made available.
