Region Model Improvements
Closed this issue · 2 comments
New Fields:
spatial_extent
a geoJSON object
url
Used in the case of USGCRP regions to point to the longform region coverage on globalchange.gov
Could be used for other created regions for other reports, if they have an equivalent page.
Provenance
region
region that replaces another in a future report (i.e. NCA3 Great Plains was replaced by NCA4 Northern & Southern Great Plains) using dct:replaces / dct:issReplacedBy
Relationship
region
region that is part of another region (i.e. Southeast is a part of United States). Would be created as a region_map with parent/child relationship.
gcmd_keywords
used for the location gcmd keyword set to associate states with their NCA regions.
Originally discussed in USGCRP/gcis-conventions#35
Eventual Convention base:
Use Case
To be attached to the USGCRP Assessments in support of search and navigation.
Can be added for other publications that specify regions.
Regions should be able to be sub-sets and supersets.
We may also include regions not explicitly called out by reports, such as 'US', "Contiguous US".
Fields
identifier
A simplified version of the label with dashes.
In the future, we would like to change this to be a UUID to avoid too specific or broad naming.
label
Should match the most recent NCA report specified name of the region.
If no region, should match governmental name.
description
Ideally, taken from the text of the report.
At a minimum, a list of the governmental boundaries contained.
spatial_extent (sp?)
a geoJSON object
url
Used in the case of USGCRP regions to point to the longform region coverage on globalchange.gov
Could be used for other created regions for other reports, if they have an equivalent page.
Provenance
region
region that replaces another in a future report (i.e. NCA3 Great Plains was replaced by NCA4 Northern & Southern Great Plains) using dct:replaces / dct:issReplacedBy
Relationships
publication
Used to connect reports, chapters, figures, findings, and tables to region(s).
region
region that is part of another region (i.e. VA is a part of Southeast). Would be created as a region_map with parent/child relationship.
gcmd_keywords
used for the location gcmd keyword set to associate states with their NCA regions.
