Philipp,
FWIW:
License/TofU info is being added to the XML sent to DataCite in #10615 (which basically follows the additions that were made in the OpenAire exporter, with some changes, like updating to DataCite v4.5, under review).
In DDI, the dataAccs element includes all the fields we have that map to the DDI schema, but that doesn’t include the license, Terms of Use or Terms of Access. We are adding the Terms of Access in a <notes type="DVN:TOA" level="dv"> element within <dataAccs> - as for this QDR dataset: https://data.qdr.syr.edu/api/datasets/export?exporter=ddi&persistentId=doi%3A10.5064/F6NEGI7I .
There is a “DVN:TOU” constant in the code, but I don’t see it in use in the current export code – not sure if that was dropped at some point or not. (There is some code to read a note of that type during import to create a Terms of Use entry, but there’s nothing to handle a standard license.).
If there’s a standard/consensus way to add license info to DDI, I don’t think there’s any reason not to (would need to check the impact on Harvesting). (And if there isn’t a consensus, with external exporters subgroups could potentially add this information where they think it should go and use those external exporters to override the internal ones.)
For OIA_DC – I see that the license is included in the “Dublin Core” export from the UI but the OIA_DC export for harvesting is limited, per a code comment, to the “original 15” fields that don’t include dcterms:license (or the Terms of Use and Restriction fields that get added as dcterms:rights entries). I assume that was mostly for backward compatibility and is something that probably could be re-assessed – others are more familiar with Harvesting than I am so I don’t know how much work would be involved.
