User Story

As a data seeker,
I want to be able to see the full dataset abstract when I look at a resource>
so that I will have a better understanding of what the resource is all about.

Example:

Need to do some analysis on the maximum and average lengths of the "Description" field in the dataset record, Then we can decide whether to include the full description or continue to truncate it, and if we truncate it then how much do we provide before truncating. Leaving it as is and adding a popup (like we do in the Organization field fix) might be a solution as well.
