- 2. Framework DOI® FRAMEWORK DATA QUALITY SUFFIX METADATA SCHEMA MANUAL MINTING API SUPPORT Decisions As a DataCite datacenter you must make a few initial decisions before you can begin to mint DOIs for its datasets or documents. • For which objects do you wish to mint DOIs? - see guidance under DATA QUALITY • What would you want the DOIs to look like? - see guidance under SUFFIX • What would be the best workflow in your institution? Maintaining the DOIs Minting a DOI is also a commitment to maintain a correct URL to the landing page and correct metadata of the object. Storage As a DataCite datacenter you also commit to ensure long-term storage of the objects, this means for a minimum of ten years. Landing pages The URL of the DOI must always resolve to an open accessible landing page that includes: • Metadata of the object • Access to the actual object If the object is open access, the landing page should provide a link to a direct full-text download. If it is not open access, the landing page should explain the access conditions and provide a link to payment services or other tools for gaining access. ________________________ RESOURCES ☑ Decision-makers ☑ Storage server ☑ Personnel to make landing pages ☑ Personnel to maintain the URL and the metadata ☑ Technical personnel to set up the API ________________________ CHECKLIST
- 3. Quality of the DOI system The quality of the DOI system relies on three important elements: • The research object must be cite worthy. • The research object must have well described metadata. • The institution assigning the DOIs commits to long-term storage of the object. Cite worthy A cite worthy object is an object that is worthy of publication and can be useful to other researchers in their work. The datacenter is responsible for ensuring the quality of the data to which they apply the DOIs.

- 4. DOI construction Each DOI is unique and consist of two parts: A prefix and a suffix. The prefix is your institution’s identification number. It is a six digit number and you will get the prefix from DataCite Denmark. The suffix is the part you can design yourself following a few rules. • Each suffix must be unique • Only use the allowed characters A-Z a-z 0-9 - (dash) . (dot) _ (underscore) : (colon) / (slash, but only if followed by alphanumeric) Designing your suffix When designing your suffix, you can go for different strategies. You can either make a suffix that makes sense for humans when they read it, or one that is only suited for machines or something in between. The human oriented suffix has the advantage of providing some information without resolving the DOI. However, all suffixes are irreversible, so if for example the name of your institution is included and this changes in the future, the DOI will not change accordingly. The machine oriented suffix has the advantage of being neutral, but does not provide any information. Your institution is only identified by the prefix. Suffix DOI® FRAMEWORK DATA QUALITY SUFFIX METADATA SCHEMA MANUAL MINTING API SUPPORT ________________________ THE HUMAN ORIENTED DOI In this construction the suffix includes the name of the institution, the subject area of the object and consecutive numbering. 10.5072/datacenter.area.1 Prefix Suffix ________________________ THE MASCHINE ORIENTED DOI Here the suffix is an arbitrary construction of the allowed characters. 10.5072/1234.abcz.56789:12-y Prefix Suffix ________________________ SOMETHING IN BETWEEN A mix could be that the suffix includes the name of the institution as well as an arbitrary construction of the allowed characters. 10.5072/datacenter.1234zz-y.5 Prefix Suffix ________________________ EXAMPLES
- 5. Metadata schema DOI® FRAMEWORK DATA QUALITY SUFFIX METADATA SCHEMA MANUAL MINTING API SUPPORT ________________________ METADATA SCHEMA V. 3.1 The Metadata Schema v. 3.1 is the latest schema and describes details for the acquired XML file. Choose › “Documentation” to see the description of the different elements. You can also find different examples of XML files depending on your type of object. ________________________ SCHEMA REPOSITORY The latest and earlier versions of the schema is collected in the Metadata Schema Repository. http://schema.datacite.org/ ________________________ LINKS Providing the metadata The object’s metadata must be provided in an XML file and shown on the landing page. Metadata are open access All DataCite metadata are open access and are available for harvesting. Metadata fields Depending on your object there are different metadata fields about which you can find detailed information on DataCite’s web. The minimum requirements for all types of objects are: 1) Identifier - with type attribute 2) Creators - with name identifier attributes 3) Title - with optional type attribute 4) Publisher 5) PublicationYear
- 6. Manual minting DOI® FRAMEWORK DATA QUALITY SUFFIX METADATA SCHEMA MANUAL MINTING API SUPPORT Screenshot Minting via Metadata Store If you only need to mint a few DOIs, you can do so without setting up the automatic API. 1) Login at http://mds.datacite.org. 2) Write the symbol and password. You will get a welcome mail with this information from DataCite and you are asked to provide a password. 3) Choose › Register new Dataset. 4) Write the DOI (prefix and suffix). 5) Write the URL of the landing page. 6) Upload an XML file with the metadata or paste the XML code directly into the text box. 7) Press › Save. 8) Automatic check of the information is provided including validity of the XML file. ________________________ ________________________ SCREENDUMP
- 7. API DOI® FRAMEWORK DATA QUALITY SUFFIX METADATA SCHEMA MANUAL MINTING API SUPPORT Automatic minting You can use the DataCite API to set up automatic DOI minting for your institution. How the API is incorporated depends on your institutionel IT systems and which minting workflow you prefer. Connecting to the API The actual connecting to the API requires a person trained in handling and adapting your IT systems. If you do not have an IT skilled person in your staff, you can hire help from DataCite Denmark - read more under SUPPORT. ________________________ DATACITE API V. 2 DataCite now use a version 2 of the API, where it is mandatory to upload the metadata of the objects to which the DOI points.
