The geospatial DataCite-metadata digest for collections was implemented in a general way, to work for an arbitrary collection of objects. When an object's geocoverage is a point, it is represented as a point. However, in the case of ICOS ecosystem data, the individual data objects' coverage is usually not a point but a polygon. Due to current DataCite API limitations, we are forced to use rectangular bounding boxes to represent those.
However, what we could make an effort on is to preserve informative labels on the individual polygons, when possible.
pre-Minting a doi in uploadgui for a L2 release collection of ecosystem data generates correct funding and author metadata, but in the geo info a list of bounding boxes per station with no station names, would prefer a list of station coordinates with the station names.
