Cycle 2024.4 Friendly Data Catalog

TODO:

• Set up correct tag graph on prod
• Create Algolia Staging index and update indexer tag structure that works with drilling down (3d)
• Bare bones explore + search UI (search; tag drilldown; breadcrumbs; "browse by tag" section) (3d)
• URL state serialization (1d)
• Country faceting UI (an entity selector to begin with) (1w)
• UI polish (3d)
• Baking/sitemap (1d)

Unexpected work

• Design exploration for tag/folder navigation (3d)
• Pagination (3d)
• Fix internal state representation
• Fix query string parsing when tag names have commas in them
• Mobile UI customizations (3d)

Next cycle, probably:

• Tag cloud faceting (needs more discussion) (1w, some uncertainty here)
• DSL with pills (depends on country and tag faceting decisions)
• Autosuggestions
• Explorer data (grapher-based and MDMs)
• Thumbnails for explorers
• Analytics

Things to think about:
#3648 will allow us to list data downloads at a higher level

Cooldown simpatico:

• Update the sitenav tag graph branch to use subareas and perfectly recreate the static site nav ontology in the prod tag graph so that there's no delta when merged. d&r can then update the tag graph on prod as they wish. (3d)
