Arches V7 Internationalization: URL datatype naming needs to be multilingual

Open ekansa opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

I'm using the Postgres SQL based views to do an ETL process to import a multilingual (Arabic, Hebrew, English) dataset into an Arches v7 instance. It seems like the JSON in use for the URL datatype does not allow different languages (keyed by codes like ar, he, en) for the url_label. The structure for the JSON needs to get updated so that url_label can be provided for different languages. In fact, it maybe good to indicate a language code for both the url and the url_label in cases where different translations of a Web resource have different URLs (like Wikipedia articles).

Example that lacks internationalization:

{
    "url": "https://opencontext.org/subjects/de5e8ffc-9e2a-4fee-9b36-f42cf7602fad", 
    "url_label": "Hagit Nol. (2021) Early Islamic Mosques Database: Distribution of excavated structures from the 7th-9th centuries"
}
