Implement differentiated geographic visualization with color-coding
MAJOR FEATURE: Geographic locations now color-coded by semantic role
Query Changes:
- Add CTE to classify GeospatialCoordLocations by usage type
- Join with edges to determine sample_location vs site_location usage
- Return location_type field: 'sample_location_only', 'site_location_only', 'both'
Visualization Changes:
- Blue (3px): sample_location_only - precise field collection points (Path 1)
- Purple (6px): site_location_only - administrative site markers (Path 2)
- Orange (5px): both - dual-purpose locations (~10k geos)
Implementation Details:
- Use Cesium.Color.fromCssColorString() for hex colors (#2E86AB, #A23B72, #F18F01)
- Conditional styling per point based on location_type
- Updated Data tab table header to show location_type column
Documentation Updates:
- Changed "Future Enhancement" to "✅ IMPLEMENTED"
- Added color legend with emoji indicators
- Updated SQL example to use 'nodes' table (not 'pqg')
- Documented performance impact (minimal)
- Listed future enhancements (UI filters, Site Explorer Mode)
Benefits:
- Makes Path 1 vs Path 2 distinction visually concrete
- Users can SEE semantic difference between precise and administrative locations
- Transforms visualization into pedagogical tool for understanding iSamples model

**Current implementation**: All 198,433 GeospatialCoordLocations are rendered identically (orange points), without differentiating their semantic roles in the graph.

**Current implementation**: GeospatialCoordLocations are now color-coded by their semantic role in the property graph:
- Client-side rendering: Medium (conditional styling in Cesium primitives)
799
-
- UI controls: Medium (checkbox filters + event handlers)
800
-
- Advanced features: High (site explorer mode with interactive highlighting)
843
+
**Performance impact**:
844
+
- Query execution time increased slightly due to JOIN and GROUP BY
845
+
- Same 198k points rendered, now with semantic color coding
846
+
- No noticeable performance degradation in browser rendering
801

**Performance impact**: Minimal
803
-
- Same 198k points, just enriched with `location_type` metadata
804
-
- Filtering happens client-side (fast)
805
-
- Could add server-side aggregation for zoom-based LOD

**Future enhancements** (not yet implemented):
849
+
- ⬜ UI filter controls (checkbox toggles for each location type)
850
+
- ⬜ Site Explorer Mode (click site → highlight all sample_locations)
851
+
- ⬜ Convex hull/region drawing for distributed sites
852
+
- ⬜ Dynamic statistics display on site selection

This enhancement would transform the visualization from "pretty dots on a map" into a pedagogical tool for understanding the iSamples metadata model architecture.

This implementation transforms the visualization from uniform points into a pedagogical tool that visually demonstrates the Path 1 vs Path 2 distinction in the iSamples metadata model architecture.
