Download format for "All Results" in search

[wrenaria]

From speaking with users, it seems like exporting one content type at a time is sufficient for most needs rather than a combined view of results in one file. For the "All Results" view of search, I think we ought to download the mixed results as separate CSV files rather than try to combine the data into one CSV.

For example, if someone performs a search that has a mix of people, grants, and publications in the results selected for download, we would provide them with a zip file containing an experts.csv, grants.csv, and works.csv.

They receive all the required data in an understandable format and it simplifies our management of the data we provide.

Do you know what the final format will be (ie columns) for each of the download types (experts / grants / works)?

[Vensberg]

@UcDust , for grants, let's have most of the elements of the profile CSV
Title | Funding Agency | Grant id {the one given by the agency, not ours} | Start date | End date | Type of Grant | List of PIs and coPIs {separate contributors by ";"} | Other Known Contributors {separate contributors by ";"} |

Note that in this case the Researcher role is taken out, and Other Known Contributors is added. The Other Known Contributors will be non-PI and non-CoPI personnel from older grants or personnel who added themselves manually though Elements.

For works,
Type of Work | Title | Authors {separate contributors by ";"; if more than 10 contributors, use et.a;.)| Year | Journal OR Book | Volume | Issue | Pages | DOI or URL | Abstract

this should map to the RIS file datafields as follows:

TY | TI | AU | DA | T2 or C3 | VL | IS | SP | DO | AB

Which reminds me -- we don't bring in URLs when they are not DOIs. We should revisit that.
