Add offcial reference for citing GOAT #786

Closed EPajares closed 3 years ago

EPajares commented 3 years ago

I think it would be beneficial to provide the users an official way how they can reference GOAT when being used in reports etc...

EPajares commented 3 years ago

Better reference data in the application and revive ABOUT section

UJehle commented 3 years ago

Could look like this: about

To Do:

[x] agree on an icon to use for the "about" button (in "i" or "INFO" could be good, as we currently use it for the attributions. For the attributions we could just show a "<")
[x] create the infobox
[x] adjust the config-file to include the date and an extra attribute that defines which layers are shown in the about box
[x] add data (e.g. Census) which is not yet included in the config-file as extra object
[x] define how to cite GOAT (check other tools) @UJehle
[x] Add Information for each Layer @majkshkurti @EPajares

example: Camtasia Studio (Version 8.6.0) [Computer software]. Retrieved from https://www.techsmith.de/store/camtasia

For GOAT this would be: Geo Open Accessibility Tool - GOAT (Version 0.8) [Webtool]. Retrieved from https://muenchen.open-accessibility.org/

--> Version and Link should be variables

@majkshkurti is it possible to automatically set the date of the OSM data?

majkshkurti commented 3 years ago

@UJehle Yes but for that we should store some metadata in the database when the setup is done. Then I can fetch it in the client.

EPajares commented 3 years ago

Yes I can save it in the database and then we can create an endpoint for this.

UJehle commented 3 years ago

Great!

EPajares commented 3 years ago

I forgot that I have already added the date of the OSM data to the variable container. Once we have setup the new API we can easily create an endpoint.
