Featured Dataverses: Review this functionality

[eaquigley]

Reconsider Featured Dataverses so they could also be used to show the hierarchy of the dataverse.

@eaquigley Hi Liz, just wondering where we are with this feature? It seems to be coming up as I create collections etc....

[mercecrosas]

Also, from @sbarbosadataverse and PSI consider how to we display a large number of featured dataverses - perhaps use a solution different than a carroussel.

From TAMU, institutional user of the Texas Data Repository: "Although the organization of a dataverse with datasets and sub-dataverses may be hierarchical, we lack a way to create a view that represents this beyond the possibility of displaying “featured dataverses” near the top of a page. By this I mean that a given dataverse will show all sub-dataverses and datasets contained within as a list. I’ve had researchers ask why there isn’t a way to reflect the organization they try to impose through collections."

Hi Courtney, Can you just provide an example, graphic perhaps, of what is being requested? Thanks

Reviving this general issue to record here (before I forget) that a Dataverse collection's "Featured" carousel can contain only its direct children collections (so not its grandchildren collections or great-grandchildren, etc.) and this might also be reconsidered.

For example, being able to display on Bob Dataverse collection's "Featured" carousel any collection within Bob Dataverse collection, even if it's a grand child or great grand child, is something the Harvard Dataverse Repository staff wonder would be beneficial. The staff are re-organizing sub-collections with a particular large collection on the Harvard Dataverse Repository and the re-organizing will mean that some sub-collections that were in the parent collection's "Featured" carousel will be removed from the carousel because they'll no longer be direct children of the parent collection.

@CCMumma there's some code at https://github.com/IQSS/miniverse/tree/master/dv_apps/metrics/templates/metrics/viz-tree and a comment at #5603 (comment) that explains where this viz of collections (but not datasets) below came from. Not sure if this helps. Please feel to create a fresh issue. I hear you. People want to see the tree, they want to know how collections are organized.
