Metadata Selection Tool

[mbwatson]

HEAL Stewards are developing an interactive tool for healdatafair.org/resources, which is to aid investigators in finding standards for their variables. The inspiration that the tool is modelled after Cornell's Data Storage Finder.

Additional details and the design mockup live in Google drive, and we're ready to move this to prototype development.

Anticipated schedule

• first interactive prototype before Jan 1, 2024
• internal reviews
• finished product by March 1, 2024

Functionality Overview

• The tool shows a list of options alongside a survey of questions.
• The list
  • Options are all select-able, individually and in bulk (de/select all buttons)
  • Multiselections are allowed
  • The user can download results (is this their selections or all the remaining options?)
• The survey
  • Through a sequence of questions, the survey aims to assist the user in ruling out potential options.
  • Each answered question invokes the removal of some options from the list.
• After selections are made, the user can access a compare tool (via a COMPARE button, not yet in design) allows the user to compare their selections. (i think we need more detail/direction here)

Component Requirements

we’re currently pending some UI/UX feedback on the design mockup, which could prompt changes to our artifacts in Google drive. we'll have to be sure to stay abreast of changes while things are in flux.

pending discussion on how to present the comparison data. How many selections should be shown and how to display it (design it).

To be discussed during the meeting on Nov 22nd
