MDIMs: short-term solution for views with multiple indicators
MDIMs: Metadata for views with multiple indicators
Feb 15, 2025
MDIMs that have a view with multiple indicators, only shows metadata of one indicator around the chart.
See Example
Long-term solution
We need to re-design bits of MDIM pages to allocate for metadata of multiple indicators in the same page.
Short-term solution
Long-term solution might take some time from now, so I suggest we look into 'hacking' the configuration of MDIM view metadata from ETL.
How?
We can override the configuration of an MDIM view using the
metadata
field:https://github.com/owid/etl/blob/master/schemas/multidim-schema.json#L336
https://github.com/owid/etl/blob/master/schemas/multidim-schema.json#L343!
Whatever is specified here will take precedence over the metadata of the indicator, fetched via the API.
This is done precisely so that for multi-dimensional indicators you can specify "use exactly these 4 bullet points as description_key".
