RE: DataCite Metadata - Association Between Identical Datasets
Pollard, Tom
Many thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It would be great if we
could adopt one of your suggested options, and on first sight I don't
have a strong preference for either. I'm copying this message to the
DataCite UK user group, who may have further thoughts on this.
Best wishes,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Thank you for the question. Under most situations of this pattern, we
would recommend the approach of
RelatedIdentifier
relatedIdentifierType=[select from list]
relationType=[select from list]
but I can see that we do not currently have an option for isDuplicateOf
or isCopyOf.
We are in the process of collecting additional changes for a version 2.3
of the metadata schema, and I think you've given us a compelling new use
case to make an addition to the controlled list of relationType.
May I ask your personal preference for the language between the two
options I listed above?
Thanks,
Joan

Subject: DataCite Metadata - Association Between Identical Datasets
Dear Joan,
I am drafting some guidelines for our users of the DataCite service for
minting DOIs for datasets. I would like to include some guidance for our
users to explain how to deal with duplicate datasets (for example, where
there is a need to deposit identical datasets in multiple locations,
perhaps because of funder requirements).
Our general recommendation is to identify a 'primary' version of the
dataset and assign only that version a DOI. However, where there is an
unavoidable need to publish identical datasets in different locations
each with a separate DOI, I would like to offer a suggestion for how the
metadata for each dataset can indicate the association.
Please could you let me know whether there is a way to indicate this
type of association within the DataCite metadata schema?
Best wishes,
Tom
