Automate generating "Used Ontologies" for Section Metadata WG Onto

[cthoyt]

This PR adds a script that automatically regenerates the "Used Ontologies" pages for Section Metadata WG Ontology Harmonization and Mapping.

While the pages in this repository were originally derived from WG Onto's 2023/2023 Google Sheet survey, WG Onto has now fully moved towards using the Semantic Farm as a primary place for storing the results of its survey.

We have established contacts with all 26 consortium to take ownership over the lists in the Semantic Farm.

Some have not yet created lists, but when they do, they will be easy to port here - as Semantic Farm gets updated, the pages can be updated with uv run scripts/update_collections.py. This could also potentially be set up with a cron job in GitHub Actions in this repo.

Note

Some consortia use external systems for curating their ontology lists. For example, NFDI4Chem curates their collection directly in the TIB-TS, NFDI4Biodiversity has their own OntoPortal instance for which all loaded ontologies comprise their collection, and NFDI4Objects curates their collection in BARTOC. In these cases, the collections are synced into the Semantic Farm. Each consortia's collection page gives additional context if it is maintained on an external system.

The benefit of using Semantic Farm is it's a fit-for-purpose tool that gives detailed metadata and context about each ontology. It also has a sustainable governance model that enables and encourages people to maintain their lists themselves through a social coding workflow built on GitHub.

@StroemPhi this is ready for your review before we ask Oliver/the maintainers of this repo to take a look.

Note that I gave extended context on each page (both the index and each consortium-specific page) on how the collections were created, who's responsible for them, and the relationship to WG Onto and Semantic Farm.

I'm also happy to change any of the text if you think it will make it more clear to communicate what we're doing in WG Onto
