Relationship to other, similar, guidelines

[tomwrobel]

Dear all

This is less of a bug and more of a documentation request.

Because there are two sites with different 'latest' guidance, it's very confusing for me to work out which guidelines I should be looking at and navigating between current and previous versions of the documentation.

• https://openaire-guidelines-for-literature-repository-managers.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html (goes up to 4.0.1)
• https://guidelines.openaire.eu/en/latest/literature/index.html (is at ?4.1.0)

Both are 'lastest', but there are differences between the two. For example:

• https://openaire-guidelines-for-literature-repository-managers.readthedocs.io/en/latest/field_publicationtype.html
• https://guidelines.openaire.eu/en/latest/data/field_resourcetype.html

In addition, because the two sites are so visually similar and linked together on guidelines.openaire.eu, it's difficult to realise that you've actually LEFT the openaire.eu site, and gone to another site.

Could the 'latest' version on the guidelines.openaire.eu site perhaps be labelled as 'draft' to indicate that they are not the current active guidelines? Alternatively, if the readthedocs site is not the latest active version, could this be reflected there instead?

Finally, and this is perhaps a request for the OpenAire team directly, do you know which version of the guidelines is in active use by the OpenAire harvester? We're not seeing resource types for our ingested records, and I've double checked that we're sending the correct metadata.
