Assigning DOIs automatically for a single community

[Gail Steinhart]

Greetings all,

 

We have a use case where a community would like DOIs assigned to items in all their collections automatically, but we do not want to do that across the entire repository. Does anyone know if this is possible, and better still, is anyone actually doing it? DSpace documentation is written for implementation across the repository (understandable), so I can’t tell whether it’s not possible or whether it simply not documented.

 

Thanks so much,

Gail

Stock DSpace won't do that, but you may be interested in the patch:

https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-1900

It includes no user interface yet, because I had trouble integrating
the necessary UI changes with an add-on that we use. I need to
revisit that.
