Remind users to update author names in Zenodo before publishing #8

Closed elichad closed 3 months ago

Persons in RO-Crates typically have a single name attribute, but Zenodo expects a family name and given names. From API docs this is the format we need to get names into:

name: Name of creator in the format Family name, Given names

For example 'Doe, John'

We could move toward using givenName and familyName in the RO-Crate spec as these are already supported by https://schema.org/Person, but this raises its own issues (and hasn't been necessary thus far). For example, how to list a community group under a single name?

Any solution must anyway be backwards-compatible with the single name option in existing RO-Crates.

The easiest way to handle this is to remind users to check and update the names in the Zenodo UI before publishing - as a consequence we should ensure that the Zenodo upload is not published when created using this tool.

The code now supports using givenName and familyName. If those aren't present, it will fall back on name and then @id and emit warnings as it does so.
