Zenodo scrapes deposit metadata from git history when a repository has no .zenodo.json, which gives a GitHub-derived title, no description, no keywords and an incomplete creator list.

This adds .zenodo.json with a real dataset title, a description recording provenance and third-party attribution, keywords, and related_identifiers linking the source publications. Creator list corrected to add Seymour Knowles-Barley. Typed as software rather than dataset, and linked to the 2010 Database paper.

Takes effect on the next release; the existing deposit is unaffected. A point release will be cut after this merges so the concept DOI resolves to a version with the corrected metadata.
