Description: Extend the extensions.json and thesauri.json files under http://rs.gbif.org/ indicating the latest versions per rowType/URI, including information about URL, title, issued date, etc.

Please note, this change needs to be done both in production directories and in sandbox directories. Sandbox should be done first to test of course.]]>

we should probably just extend the existing json files with a version attribute and we are done:
http://rs.gbif.org/extensions.json
http://rs.gbif.org/vocabularies.json

Unless we need an index of all existing versions...

The changes to extensions.json and thesauri.json files are now complete.

In summary, two new properties have been added to each element:

issued: the date the extension/vocabulary was issued/released/published
isLatest: true if the extension/vocabulary is the latest version, or false otherwise

Changes were applied to these files in the sandbox first. Then after it was confirmed the changes did not break the IPT in test mode, the changes were applied in production as well.

To modify these files, it was necessary to update the python script responsible for creating them. The change commit can be seen here: https://github.com/gbif/rs.gbif.org/commit/c6a8e9726ad4f44dca8014cc4bb8678d6d058252

The following vocabularies are either deprecated or have been superseded by the copy in production. Please a) apply a version to them by giving them a version (issued date) or simply remove them (from the sandbox).
