Indexing¶
Summary¶
The search engine is based on indexed documents. Each index can be rebuilt without affecting the history of changes and the publication status of the documents.
Definitions¶
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| All | Indices about any type of document: network, study, dataset (and associated variables), file, person. |
| Networks | Index that allows to search for networks. |
| Individual Studies / Harmonization Initiatives | Index that allows to search for individual studies and harmonization initiatives. |
| Collected Datasets / Harmonization Protocols | Index that allows to search for collected datasets and harmonization protocols and their associated variables. |
| Collected Datasets | Index that allows to search for collected datasets and associated variables. |
| Harmonization Protocols | Index that allows to search for harmonization protocols and associated variables. |
| Persons | Index that allows to search persons who can be associated to studies, initiatives or networks. |
| Files | Index that allows to search files associated with all Mica documents. |
| Projects | Index that allows to search projects. |
| Taxonomies | Index that allows to search for taxonomy terms (i.e. the search criteria). |
Note
In order to keep the inferred annotations of individual studies up-to-date, the order of indexing must be as follows:
- Index the collected datasets which will index their associated vatiables as well.
- Index the individual studies to update the inferred variable annotations.
