After the meeting of last 1st OCtober 2025 I've been thinking about the data frame for text fields (to be implemented in version 7).
Here is a tought about this issue related to people's NAMES, as for us it could be very important to heve this implemented int his field.
We find several ways of writing names on different documents and even we know than one is correct, it is interesting to keep the other names and give some context to the data. As an Example we could find
Pedro Massagué Vidal
Pedro Masague Vidal
Pedro Masaguer Vidal
Pedro Massaguer Vidal
These names come from differents projects, different sources or even come from one same project (different sources).
We could know than the correct name is the fisrt one. But if we delete the information of other names we loss information, and also it is possible that in other research the name appears again in the other variables, so it is likely that we could generate a duplicate. For us it could be useful that if we know for sure that Pedro Messagué Vidal is the correct one mark it as it is and the others could be marked as less reliable.
The publication of these names colud be affected from data frame. We have to think about it but it seems that we could be interested in publish all the names but remmarking the correct one (and put "also known as" with the other variables).
