Improve JSON-LD metadata for SEO
Google has launched a Dataset search engine and it relies on JSON-LD metadata to extract informations for their index.
When using their tools, it highlights a lot of errors on pages served by uData, like this one
Looking the Dataset type on schema.org, it seems contributedDistribution
should be renamed to distribution
for instance.
Right now, we submit extras properties because we haven't found a better solution to expose metadata for properties not yet added to the schema.org/Dataset model.
This is why there is a contributedDistribution
in addition to the distribution
property to expose "community resources".
The duplicate @type
has already been fixed on the current master (will be part of the next 1.6.0 version)
For the extras
property, there is an upstream issue open on schema.org to fix that (there is currently no standard way to expose properties unknown to schema.org
). See https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/2047
