[Feature Migration] Port "Projects" enhancement from EarthPortal to OntoPortal

[maboukerfa]

Description

We are looking to integrate the Projects feature, currently functional on the EarthPortal instance, into the generic OntoPortal core repository. This will allow all instances within the alliance to benefit from it.

Scope of Work

The import requires moving the logic from the EarthPortal fork back into the main OntoPortal branch. Key focus areas include:

• Code Generalization: Identify and remove any EarthPortal-specific strings, logos, or hardcoded configurations.
• Backend Logic:
  • Mention all the migrations for the projects model (changes in ontologies_linked_data) .
  • List any changes in controllers and new endpoints (if any) related to ontologies_api.

Technical Requirements

• Documentation: Update the core API documentation and the README if new endpoints, environment variables or configs are introduced.
• Backward Compatibility:
  • Ensure that existing instances not using "Projects" are not affected by this change (you can add a feature_flag using flipper Check this).
  • Provide a documentation explaining how to migrate existing projects into the new model.
