Prominently indicate when a data package is essentially a duplicate of an external version
MetacatUI currently doesn't clearly distinguish between duplicate datasets that have been copied to ADC from an external source. This can lead to confusion, especially when both the original and derived datasets have different DOIs but are essentially the same. NSIDC and other data centers are concerned that differing citations can impact usage metrics and funding. The goal is to make it easier for users to identify the original dataset by displaying it prominently when it exists. This way, users can easily reference and credit the original source, helping to avoid issues with misrepresentation and citation confusion.
Planned Solution
- When annotations include both
schema.org:sameAsandprov:derivedFromreference the same DOI or UUID, MetacatUI should prominently display the original source data. - The display should retrieve citation info directly from the DOI using a service (e.g., DOI or metrics service).
- In the "Cite this dataset" modal, show both the original and the derived dataset, clearly distinguishing them and giving users discretion on which to cite.
