Lesson 1A: Make sure the needle can be found in the haystack

Arnoud de Boer edited this page Apr 14, 2016 · 9 revisions

Datasets can be very large, so good search functions are required to let users find the needle in the haystack.

#####Why Different users need different information, for example a user who is interested in locations of bicycle stands, does not need a map with both bicycle stands and trees on it. If you allow users to search through dataset based on space, time and theme, data is better retrievable.

#####Intended outcome A user-friendly web service enabling users to easily and intuitively search and find data.

#####Possible approach Provide good search functions, for example let users search for whole datasets or single objects based on space, time and theme (keyword or category).

#####How to test
