Name vs Title for data & DP search #727

Open mslarae13 opened 2 weeks ago

mslarae13 commented 2 weeks ago

NMDC captures a Title and Name field. Name seems to identically match GOLD. We added title when it was JGI + EMSL / a different title was more fitting.

To consider this complete

[ ] Do we need both name and title?
[ ] Query / evaluate how title vs name are populated in mongo & evaluate if we need both
[ ] Do all studies have title?
- If so, NMDC DP string search has name and title, this is confusing. Can we remove name?

We can't remove name because it inherits from NamedThing. All studies have title. So if we were to remove one of these slots it would be title. FWIW we also have alternative_names and alternative_titles
