Now that google dataset search exists I have a new worry of over using Dataset.

Take www.uniprot.org<http://www.uniprot.org/> as an example. It has a bit more than a billion webpages. Marking them all up with Dataset for what was a DataRecord before would mean we would have a bit over 3.5 billion Datasets.
Google has no problem with dealing with the volume, but I am worried that their antispam logic/relevance would drown out the 7 or so Datasets that I would like to see highly ranked in their toolbox search.

Jerven, this is a very valid concern and something that is likely to be far more problematic for any tooling we develop as a community than the major search engines.

Considering that most of this work is SEO related, I would vote to mark up just 1 page with DataCatalog/Dataset on www.uniprot.org<http://www.uniprot.org/> and not on the other pages.

Dan, can you give any insight from a search engine perspective?

Thanks

Alasdair
