Technical group brainstorming idea in CESSDA Spring Sprint. Considered not to require great effort.

To be discussed in the UG.

Can we do this?

If AUSSDA, for example, has an URL link in their Terms of data access element in the endpoint:

• Is this displayed correctly in the CDC (as presuming AUSSDA will use correct HTML tags)?
• Can the URL be clickable?

Related to #107 in metadata.office issue tracker.

CDC User Group: May not require great effort in technical sense but requires properly marked html in metadata for the URL. Also need to decide whether URLs are clickable in all elements or only in some.

Not a priority for 2022.

Updating version is preferred to setting status to on hold.

Accept URLs with http or https. Open a new tab.

Look for information in Abstract and Terms of data access element

Discussed in User group.

We received clarification on the html tags. The initial reason that this was suggested is that it gives metadata creators a control of which URLs should be clickable and which should not. But I am unsure exactly what the html tags should be in order to indicate that it is an URL.

There was also raised a concern with these tags when passing the information onward to other catalogues. There might be issues with how these catalogues handle the html tags.

Will not be directly resolved by codebase upgrade, but worked on after implemented
