Structure of collections data #1

Closed despens closed 7 years ago

despens commented 7 years ago

Currently, data for collections within an archive is structure with the URL part of the collection as the key and a description as the value:

collections:
    legislatives_france_2012: 'Elections Legislatives France 2012'
    presidentielles_france_2012: 'Elections Presidentielles France 2012'
    haeu: 'European Institutions – OP and HAEU'
    cern: 'European Organization for Nuclear Research (Switzerland) - CERN'
    nli: 'National Library of Ireland - NLI'
    nrs: 'National Records of Scotland'
    proni: 'Public Record Office of Northern Ireland - PRONI'
    tna: 'The National Archives - TNA'

This is too limiting for adding further info about a collection in the future, should rather be structured like:

Should be changed to this structure:

collections:
  - id: 'legislatives_france_2012'
    description: 'Elections Legislatives France 2012'
  - id: 'haeu'
    description: 'European Institutions – OP and HAEU'

Sure, but it should be id and name to be consistent with the archive list. A description would be separate and maybe something to add later, for example through a self-advertised list #10
