Update bibliographies to include additional metadaa.#335

I have no idea how to test the new metadata features but browsing and searching the bibliography seems to be working fine on the staging server, except for one test case. I entered "knowledge programming in loops" in the search box expecting this bibliography entry to show up in the results: Stefik, M., Bobrow, D. G., Mittal, S., & Conway, L. (1983). KNOWLEDGE PROGRAMMING IN LOOPS. 11. But the entry doesn't show up at all in the search results. |

There isn't much you can do to test it via searching at present. This PR only adds additional metadata to each bibliographic entry. Once this PR is merged and built into the production website and recrawled the metadata will become available and usable by search engines. Ideally the result will be better, more informative search results. Specifically, this PR adds a script containing metadata to each bibliographic entry. Looking at the Knowledge Programming in Loops article: The following is injected into the page: All of this is separate from the AI search activities. A secondary task will be to incorporate the metadata into those data used by the AI Search Engine work I've started. That will require additional work to expand the data collected from the webpages, the data we currently pass into the LLM has minimal metadata with it. Prior to moving this PR out of the draft state, I need to spend additional time reviewing the generated metadata and ensuring it is accurate, identifying gaps and documenting the schema. We may decide there is additional upstream work we need to do either with Zotero or extracting information from Zotero, Additional questions that need to be addressed are whether the format chosen for representing metadata is the best for our needs (JSON-LD). It seems to be the preferred method for SEO related activities. But, it may be less ideal for integration with AI. |

I confirm I see the metadata in the page source. |

This hasn't been thoroughly tested. However I wanted to make it available. The changes are integrated on the testing site. You can see the results using Google's Rich Results test: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result/r%2Farticles?id=1glR_Xd8sI4btiGYnczSdg
