Description

It could be good to add a minimal json-ld fragment to Wikibase home pages (or all pages?) to aid in discover-ability of them. For example this should mean that it is possible for them to be crawled by services such as https://toolbox.google.com/datasetsearch and then discovered by new users.

This could be important because as the number of wikibases increases being able to discover them becomes harder.

A minimal example is probably:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "
@context
":"https://schema.org",
  "
@type
":"Dataset",
  "name":"My dataset",
  "description":"Description of my dataset that is at least 50 characters long."
}
</script>

Yes that minimal example is the minimum used for Google Dataset Search to have enough info to include a dataset in its collection.

Sounds good. I understand adding it to the main page is enough? Can we include that by default in any Wikibase instance with a generic message that can be overwritten locally?

yes, front page sounds good
