Description

- #752
was closed but I think we still might want to do better since after we did fix also allowing robots to crawl it , google indexes again but it looks imho suboptimal:

(21 is apparently for 000021 dandiset ;) ). Compare e.g. to much more succinct but IMHO better result for openneuro

We even lack the favicon/logo!

I think re the record and better discovery, sitemap.xml could help.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the earlier sitemap discussion in #752 and the current robots-crawling behavior. Define what sitemap.xml should expose and how it should improve Google discovery, then verify that the resulting search presentation also addresses the missing favicon or logo.
