Just realised that the DOI count now shown after the release of #22 doesn't give information about DOIs being repeated for downloads/citation requests of the same data (for example downloading a whole resource which has been uploaded to the Portal once and never changed).

A prime example: https://data.nhm.ac.uk/dataset/release-of-data-added-to-the-predicts-database-november-2022. The DOI count will forever be 4 unless someone downloads a subset of the data (unlikely?) or the PREDICTS team updates the dataset (also unlikely).

Two solution thoughts:

  • Have a proper citations/downloads/usage page for each dataset (this was on the roadmap way back but never made it to development)
  • Write a DOI/versioning about page which explains how this all works

We should probably do both these things? Discussion required.
