• Full Text: All dataset landing pages should provide machine-readable metadata using schema.org markup in JSON-LD format. JSON-LD is the easiest way to represent schema.org metadata, and is also used to represent DATS metadata in schema.org format. The JSON-LD should be embedded in the HTML page using a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag. For examples please use DataCite Search (https://search.datacite.org/), which has embedded schema. org/JSON-LD metadata on every search result page for a single dataset for more than five million datasets.
