Metadata quality

To help users find well documented records, a metadata quality system has been set up.

The metadata quality score shows how complete metadata is on a record, by looking up specific fields that should be present for the metadata to be considered of quality.

The system is disabled by defaut.

When the system is activated with the ES pipeline:

• the quality score becomes part of the indexed fields
• the search results display the score
• the search results can be sorted by score
• the record page displays the pipeline score

If it is activated but the ES pipeline is not run, then the computation will be done by the Datahub directly, only when the user opens a record.
