Description

Overview

  • Currently, we don't support the ability for numerical metadata fields to specify a value range.
  • For example, a metadata field called average student grade could be a floating point value between 0 and 100.
  • This feature is needed to support Review datasets whose associated rubrics may have floating point scores that range between two values. Review datasets share these scores as Croissant QuantitativeValue objects that support a minVal and maxVal. Custom metadata blocks for Reviews will need to share minVal and maxVal in the Croissant they produce.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Locate the custom metadata block handling and existing numerical-field serialization, then trace how Croissant QuantitativeValue objects are produced; done means numerical fields can expose the requested minVal and maxVal range for Review datasets.
