[Enhancement] Enhance the results from a K-Link search with open data / information #18

Open shenriod opened 6 years ago

shenriod commented 6 years ago

Short Description of the issue

When performing a public search, the results could also include relevant external data sources (Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, GeoNames, https://data.worldbank.org/, wikicommons, https://archive.org, https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/, http://databank.worldbank.org/data/home.aspx, http://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/home, http://projects.worldbank.org/, etc.).

The trick would be to find a good visualisation of the results, in order to not overload the list of results. Maybe the search results can be split into 2 tabs:

Results from [K-Box or K-Link] Results from other sources
All documents from (if applicable) slippy map showing the location of the place in my search
my k_box or my K-Link network (if applicable) snippet of the relevant Wikipedia page(s) with language switcher
(this is the current behavior) (if applicable) relevant statistics from the World Bank data portal
etc etc

If this is developed in a generic way (i.e., easily possible to add other data sources and visualisation of results in the future), that could upgrade the K-Link API into an aggregator of open data sources

See here the World Bank API: https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889386

This could be a suggestion for the K-Link, moving it to the respective repository
