Increase connectedness of displayed data

description

This issue is re-created due to an "atall" message in the previous issue.

Currently the fact that people search through "a graph" suggests that they will find highly interconnected data. The current data presentation in the front end however is often displaying data in a very disjunct way.

status

After further discussion we decided that we will take some immediate development steps (which will be detailed below) as well as include the question of what data should be purposefully connected into the product development & requirement engineering efforts. For the next 6 month we aim to reduce the impression of data sparseness in the fronted by exposing some existing connections for specific entities / suggest related entities. This effort will include the following steps:

  1. creating detail pages for institutions entities (#87 (closed))
  2. creating detail pages for experts entities (#86 (closed))
  3. creatling clickable fields in search results pages (#93 (closed))
  4. integration of hyperlinks to these pages in search results pages (e.g. when searching for dataset, software, etc) (#88 (closed))
  5. integration of a possibility for graphical exploration of records (e.g. LODview) (#89 (moved)) n. more feedback on where data has been harvested from (specifically for experts) (still needs to be thought about)

These steps will be detailed with descriptions and wireframe-proposals for implementation in FrontEnd in linked issues. Development responsibility will be discussed in monthly sprint meetings - for now @f.dmello will be starting.
