Data previews?

Open jpvelez opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

Data dictionaries are super useful, but a bit abstract. Showing a preview of the data itself would allow people to immediately grasp the issue. (Obviously, this would take a lot of effort.)

Here's an example: http://www.civicdata.com/dataset/generic_vrecord_1483/resource/27dcfbec-05a5-4993-bdc1-6e372bd764f3

Interesting idea and good example. Perhaps this is one concrete way to integrate the data dictionary and data portal by showing a preview if data is available?
