On behalf of the Schema.org cluster at ESIP, we are pleased to announce the
latest version of the Science-on-schema.org publishing guidelines. These
guidelines describe how to publish consistent and FAIR schema.org markup
for Datasets. Stewarded by members of the ESIP Schema.org cluster, version
1.2.0 was developed in collaboration with other data repository operators
and Schema.org project members.
