Description
Overview of the Feature Request
Add Schema.org and DCAT information in JSON-LD format to the repository homepage to improve the visibility and trustworthiness. This could include:
- Repository name, description, publisher, URL.
- Applicable certifications (CoreTrustSeal).
- Key policies (Deposit, Access, Preservation).
- Supported persistent identifier systems.
What kind of user is the feature intended for?
Funders, repository administrators.
What inspired the request?
This idea comes from the "Recommendations for trustworthy and FAIR-enabling data repositories" workshop created by FAIR-IMPACT. One of the goals was to implement the RDA Common Descriptive Attributes of Research Data Repositories to indicate in a machine-readable way repository characteristics.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files or tests. Start by locating the repository homepage entry point and any existing metadata, then map the requested repository, certification, policy, and identifier fields to Schema.org and DCAT JSON-LD. Done means the homepage exposes the agreed machine-readable metadata and the relevant checks pass.
