Oliver asked BobM about this idea, 12/12/13:

What would it take to get a "map" showing me what data fields in VIVO (as seen by a faculty member) get mapped to which sections in Chemistry's faculty web pages?

Sort of like a DB's entity relationship diagram (ERD), I suppose.

Yet again today I ran into two instances where putting data in VIVO for someone did not show up where I expected it to show up in the faculty page. Having an ERD-type map indicating what is supposed to happen will help a lot to:

1) Ensure data is entered in the correct field in VIVO to get the intended result in the Chemistry faculty page.

2) Facilitate de-bugging in case there is a feed problem (to distinguish it from being a "wrong field" problem.
