Research direction

Start by reading the OPS and DPMA database query implementations to find how family grouping is supported for each source. Determine whether OPS offers a way to group documents by family and, if so, identify the changes needed to support it. Done means OPS queries can group documents per family, with tests covering the behavior; the issue names no files or tests, so locate the relevant entry points in the repository.

Description

Querying with DPMA database allows to group documents per family.
However, this is not possible today with the OPS Database.
Why this limitation?
Is it because it is better to query DPMA?
Or the feature is not yet developped?
