Portal (preview): GSD version is missing in the recommended bibliographic citation #212

Closed yroskov closed 2 months ago

yroskov commented 2 months ago

GSD version is missing in the recommended bibliographic citation (the version is important in the citation).

For example: https://preview.catalogueoflife.org/data/dataset/2207

341775649-b95b313e-4eab-4c2f-9fd6-8d523032f534

For attention of @mdoering & @thomasstjerne

Just in case, it should be only Version without release date (AKA field "Issued")

i.e. as GSD versions correctly appear previously here: https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/source-datasets

This was an intentional change to include the COL version instead. You cannot have both. If we follow the idea of a chapter in a book, the publisher, version and issued date now come from the COL release, not the sources.

Note that this change is programmatic only, it does not influence what metadata is stored and thus can be reverted. It will also influence how past releases look, as the citation string is not real. It is made up dynamically from the metadata fields based on the styling format we chose. The march release:
