Description
@mbjones noted a few of our datasets on arcticdata.io were failing Google's schema:Dataset validation due to "Invalid string length in field "description". When we go into the Search Console, we can see that Google is seeing the description field. We then noticed that Google specifies that the description field should be between 50 and 5000 characters:
The summary must be between 50 and 5000 characters long.
From: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/dataset#dataset
In at least one of the offending documents, the abstract is 5779 characters so the above rule seems like a likely cause for the failed validation. Let's truncate the description field to 5000 characters for all records and hopefully these errors will go away.
