Add `contributors` to the Data Resource spec? #866

Closed roll closed 4 months ago

roll commented 6 months ago

Overview

Although a data resource can have licenses and sources similar to a data package, it doesn't have the contributors property. Semantically it's not really clear why only 2 of 3 are supported.

Makes sense to add it, but just like sources and licenses, I think many converters (e.g. Zenodo upload, etc.) would ignore only it and look at the package sources, licenses, contributors instead.

REJECTED by WG for the v2 iteration work. If someone have a real-world case example for having it please create a new issue with new used-case-based description
