listing place references and the histogram (priority: gap desired)

[atomrab]

It occurs to me that there is a workaround for the conflict between the UI constraints of the histogram and the user's desire to find all the references to a particular place (that is, through the interface, rather than in ARK).

Keeping the histogram with 50 bars and clusters of pages with references, could we also provide a list of links to individual references on the place page? That way, you could click to an area of a book where that place appears using the histogram, but if you want greater resolution, you could go to the place page and see all of the book/chapters where that place appears -- and then you could jump to particular references from there. Would this work? It would be relevant to Gap in general, I think.

This may surely work. Will first work on sections, we can then show the
list of references grouped by section.
Once we have sections we may also rethink the histogram, we may try to
group pages consistently to sections.

OK. I'll make a JSON service to return a list to individual page references to a place, by ID and by place URI. Something like (warning hand coded JSON)?

{"label": "Place label",
"uri": "Place URI",
"lat": lat,
"lon" lon,
"references": [
["bookID": 1, "pageID",232],
["bookID": 1, "pageID",234],
["bookID": 2, "pageID",444]
]
}

Hi Eric,
this is not needed, since we already have all the data about links to
places in the current book. If I am not wrong the request is to show all
links to place references, organized by chapter but listed explicitly
instead of grouped like in the frequency diagram.
BTW I already implemented this and I will push it on the web as soon as
other things are ready too. So I don't need you to do anything.
Thank you for caring, btw :)
