Backport attribution from OGC APIs to a STAC extension
OGC API has a field "attribution" in the landing page and in collections. While it may not be very useful for us in the landing page, it feels useful to have it in Collections somehow. As I don't want to merge it into core, I think we could make this an extension.
The issue in OGC API - Common: https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogcapi-common/issues/174
This seems like it has the potential to overlap with the scope of the Scientific Extension, at least at the Collection level...
This extension adds the ability to indicate from which publication data originates and how the data itself should be cited or referenced.
If this becomes its own extensions, should there be either a restriction or a best practice that attribution and sci:citation must match for Collections?
Scientific citations (usually in scientific publications) and attributions (usually in maps) are pretty different.
For example, the OSM attribution in Leaflet is simply
(c) OpenStreetMap contributors
On the other hand, the scientific citation would be more like
OpenStreetMap contributors. (2017). Planet dump retrieved from https://planet.osm.org . https://www.openstreetmap.org .
This example is taken directly from OSM, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#I_would_like_to_use_OpenStreetMap_maps._How_should_I_credit_you.3F and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Researcher_Information
We can probably give such an example in both extensions to make the difference clear.
