Description
Summary
Users need a way to see where and which versions of codelists are used across repositories to support consistency and build confidence in their selection of codelists.
What would you like to achieve?
Make visible the repos using a specific codelist via the OpenCodelist website
Who would benefit and how?
Bristol currently lack visibility into codelist usage across repositories, making it difficult to ensure consistency. Bristol run larger research projects that span multiple OS projects/ repos. Being able to ensure this consistency would be helpful.
Other users have also suggested that seeing which studies use a specific codelist would give them more clues / trust as to whether an existing codelist is suitable for their work.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the OpenCodelists website and how codelists, repositories, and versions are currently represented. Define where usage data would come from and how users would view repositories using a specific codelist. Done means the website makes those repositories and codelist versions visible to support consistency and selection.
