META: Research on how to Show Similar Objects, Works, People and Groups on their respective record pages.

[roamye]

Problem Description: LUX would like to add a feature on records pages such as Objects, Works, and People and Groups where each page will show similar results for that record. However, we are unsure of what is defined as "similar" for each scope.

This ticket serves as a meta and research issue for all "show similar " FE, ML and future MT tickets.

Expected Behavior/Solution: Define the criteria "similar". What should it include for the show Similar Works on Work Pages, Similar Objects on Object Pages, and Similar People and Group on People and group pages?

Example sites:

• https://collections.mfa.org/objects/38909/chestonchest?ctx=557802af-c04a-4b65-bcb9-127c9a3216c4&idx=1
• https://philamuseum.org/collection/object/89219
• https://dma.org/art/collection (probably just a tag)

Requirements: Define "similar" criteria for:

• [ ] Similar Works on Work Pages
• [ ] Similar Objects on Object Pages
• [ ] Similar People and Group on People and group pages

Other req:

• [ ] Define how the UI will appear for "show similar" on record pages.
• [ ] Indicate to users how a "show similar" result is shown.
• [ ] Decide how results with images/no images will be shown.

Req (after above is completed)

• [ ] Update existing FE/ML ticket with information found.
• [ ] Create MT ticket for each scope.

Needed for promotion: If an item on the list is not needed, it should be crossed off but not removed.

• What are the requirements for the UI?
• What do we do with results with images/no images?
