As we ingest metadata from 3rd part repositories we need a means of promoting certain metadata such, as the URL to the source, and displaying it prominently as part of the dataset view. We envision a panel on the right hand side that will display all these promoted metadata fields prominently for the user. Additionally when we access clowder through the API from other applications, we can include this promoted metadata as part of the information returned, not requiring a second query to get this information. For example if we have a field in the metadata that links to the remote location of the data (say url) and this is promoted in the space, when the user requests information about the dataset, besides the normal information such as name, author, it will also return this additional field (in this case url).
-------------------------------------------
Michael Bobak do we want to create additional proposals to capture the following as well? It is easier to have a single page per proposal.
Presently our users have something like a focused google-dataset-search, (via aggregated metadata), that given a query returns potential hits with: Title (w/link to the page w/the data), Abstract, & a metadata ('details') link.
...
2: Since the 'Title' now links to the interim Clowder stub page, I've added the link to the data page at the end of the description. So it will still show up in the search results. It often but not always ends up as a clickable link. If it was more consistent it would be a more useable search.
3: It has been suggested that we have a per space config to select some choice metadata to put in the upper right of the dataset page, e.g. the dataset-landing page.
4: Also, to get a google-dataset-search experience, it has to be done w/o a login, it turns out that doesn't presently work right now: https://github.com/clowder-framework/clowder/issues/83
