use of schema.org in Zenodo as cutom metadaa

[myrmoteras]

Here at the BIKCL meeting there is discussion about building open systems,. We already use community standards. Would it be interesting to add schema.org to assure we are partner of the big world?

We do expose JSON-LD based on schema.org (initially done to allow Google to index Zenodo pages in a reliable manner). Here's an example JSON-LD export from https://zenodo.org/records/10653526:

To add a bit more, if there was a standard and extensible way to expose the custom metadata we store (DarwinCode, etc.), it could be via JSON-LD, though we have to look at how the wider community does so. From a quick search I found:

• https://biss.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=74266&journal_name=biss and https://baskauf.github.io/
• Consider a JSON-LD Guide for Darwin Core tdwg/dwc#447
• See also how this is done in https://book.oceaninfohub.org/index.html
