There is an alternative, however, over which I do have control: we can
switch the USAP-DC harvest to rely on the schema.org protocol rather than
the older GMN software we are using currently. Since USAP-DC already has
Dataset schema.org JSON-LD descriptions embedded in its dataset landing
pages, we would only need to fix a few issues there in order to get this
working again. I outline what I think are the key issues briefly below. A
much more in-depth description of how to describe scientific datasets in
schema.org protocol is available via science-on-schema.org (SOSO). There
are many ways to describe a dataset, but the indispensable resource for
figuring out how to do this is the SOSO Dataset description guide
https://github.com/ESIPFed/science-on-schema.org/blob/master/guides/Dataset.md.
In addition to reviving metadata flows to DataONE, these changes would
likely also have the added benefit of moving your dataset landing pages
into the Google indexer's good graces.
Here are the major required changes I will highlight:
Replace unsupported Unicode HTML character codes in the Githubissues.
Githubissues is a development platform for aggregating issues.
