After Dataverse introduced DOI support at file-level, I suggested back in 2018 adding a new resourceTypeGeneral for dataset files in the DataCite metadata schema (see
IQSS/Dataverse GitHub issue #5086). I've now finally made an official suggestion about this in the DataCite Suggestion GitHub repo (see
issue #214). The question is now what to call this new resourceTypeGeneral. Possible options are "File", "Component", "Download". Please provide your feedback in the related
DataCite issue.
Thanks!
