Editorial commentary
Dataset landing pages are the functional equivalent of journal article landing pages for data. They are the user-facing layer of the persistent identifier: when a DOI is clicked, the resolved page is the landing page. Best-practice landing pages embed schema.org Dataset markup so the page is machine-readable by Google Dataset Search and similar services. They also typically link to the dataset’s machine-readable metadata in multiple formats (DataCite XML, JSON-LD, CSL JSON). For withdrawn datasets, the landing page becomes a tombstone (see DOI tombstone).
