[datacatalogs] What Info do we collect for each Data Portal / Catalog

[Rufus Pollock]

Hi All,

Thanks to the migration to the new setup we have an opportunity to update
and extend the information we collect on each Data Portal / Catalog

   - Github issue for discussion of this question
   <https://github.com/okfn/datacatalogs.org/issues/24> - including fields
   to add/remove etc
   - Summary of the proposed set of fields
   <https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/spreadsheets/d/16fM8o7CpgEDmz-QrS6wriU7_EXV-A4DfBqo1P_XWvVM/edit#gid=495458454>
in
   sheet in spreadsheet

Below is an excerpt from the github issue to provide some motivation. Happy
to have discussion either here or on the github issue!

Regards,

Rufus

*Questions*


   - New? Add a maintainer and maintainer_url field for organization or
   person maintaining the portal.
   - Modify? license field - shall we normalize in some way, do we want a
   link to the license page or evidence on source website
   - Delete? delete metadata_modified and metadata_created? Latter is easy
   to support but former is hard with google spreadsheet DB
   - New? open boolean field to indicate whether the data in the portal is
   open or not
      - could have an open_percent for mixed portals
   - New? date_launched date the portal launched
   - New/Change? A field like metadata_contributor to credit folks
   contributing info (very spotty in current data and not very systematic).
   - Change? Merge groups and tags - no reason to keep separate ...
   - New? generator - name of software that powers the portal
