Science On Schema.Org (SOSO) Guidance Documents

This repository provides guidance for repository operators and others to follow consistent conventions to provide schema.org markup in Dataset landing pages to improve data discovery through search engines. The main guides help describe Datasets and Data Repositories.

Name		Guideline	Examples	Issues
Dataset	guidelines for schema.org for a scientific Dataset
Data Repository	guidelines for schema.org for a research data repository

• Getting Started - explains some useful techniques that will be common across all schema.org types
• Experimental - some suggestions for more advanced dataset documentation, proposed for inclusion in future SOSO guidelines.
