Adding DCAT and Schema.org repository description to the Dataverse homepage (#12022)
What this PR does / why we need it:
- closes #12022
This PR is created to add Schema.org and DCAT information in JSON-LD format to the repository homepage in order to improve the visibility and trustworthiness of the repository. This could include:
Special notes for your reviewer: It is a possible solution, obtaining the data from the setting table in the database. The json-ld data will be created into the html code:
[...]<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta name="description" content="Repositorio de Datos del Consorcio Madroño" />
<link rel="api-catalog" type="application/linkset+json" href="[http://bib6162invi6106:8080/resources/json/.well-known/api-catalog](view-source:http://bib6162invi6106:8080/resources/json/.well-known/api-catalog)" />
<script rel="describedby" type="application/ld+json">
{"@context":{"dcat":"http://www.w3.org/ns/dcat#","dct":"http://purl.org/dc/terms/","foaf":"http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/","rdf":"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"," ...................
</script><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="[/jakarta.faces.resource/ ............................
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" .............
[...]
Suggestions on how to test this: Check the homepage to see that the json-ld code is into the html. It shouldn't be into other dataset or dataverse pages.
Additional documentation: If this PR is approved, Dataverse api guide should be update too.
@juancorr thanks for the pull request! I added the "trusted data" label to this PR because it feels related to our work in that project, which is being tracked here:
- https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-pm/issues/425
To make this more concrete, Harvard Dataverse, for example doesn't programmatically expose any machine-readable information about its trustworthiness, etc. when you point a tool at its homepage. It looks this:
With this PR we can expose lots of machine-readable information like this:
I'm highlighting CoreTrustSeal above but there is all kinds of good stuff in there about what standards are supported and what APIs are available. For a complete list, see https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fedatos.consorciomadrono.es%2F

Thanks @pdurbin for give context to the PR.
We can also inspect the dcat json metadata with the Google Rich Result test: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
The code of this PR extract some information from the current Dataverse installation and settings database table, and allows adding extra information in the setting database using new fields: :dcat_repository_country, :dcat_repository_language, :dcat_repository_research_area, :dcat_repository_prev_policy, :dcat_repository_terms, :dcat_repository_license, :dcat_repository_certification, :dcat_repository_org_name, :dcat_repository_access_terms, :dcat_repositoryDescription
@juancorr we discussed this during our Trusted Data project meeting on Monday and during "Triage Tuesday" today. We gave it a status of "On Hold" because we don't plan to actively review and QA your solution until we've had time to consider other solutions as well. Thanks again for the PR!
Thanks @Philip Durbin @.***> . I'll keep an eye out for any new proposals.
