DataCite DOI

[matt]

Hi all

Many of you will already be aware that DataCite has stopped supporting schema version 2.2, which of course is used by our 1.x versions of redbox.

This week we will be reviewing the changes needed to support version 4.1. I'll post an update next week asap once changes are ready to be released to version 1.10x-SNAPSHOT.

Thank-you for your patience and ongoing support of Redbox.

Kind regards

Hi Matt, all,

Thanks very much for the update. 

I need to mint a DOI for a researcher submitting a manuscript ASAP. I can do it manually instead of M2M but am I right in thinking there's no way of adding that DOI back into a record (1.9) and rendering the citation? What would you advise - just mint it on ANDS Online and hope we can add/fix once we migrate to 2? 

Being able to input DOIs could be a handy feature actually - if a record goes cactus you could re-use the DOI and researcher + publisher happy! 

Hope that makes sense. 

Thanks again, Clair (JCU)

G'day Clair,

You can pop the DOI back into the record, I have a work instruction I created for that (I created it when I was testing on our UAT environment).

Happy to share with you if you like.

Regards,

Christopher

Hi all

The changes for resourceType and resourceTypeGeneral are in the latest snapshot for redbox.

For those who want a jumpstart on the sourcecode, the changes can be seen here.

Apologies for the delay, but I have had difficulty (with staff moving on and my own institution changing) with testing.

However, from what I can see of the xml I'm posting to 'ANDS CiteMyData', it seems to me to be correct - feedback welcome.

The only other caveat, with our rifcs using the 'fullcitation' style, I'm not entirely sure what the correct standard should be (if it includes it at all) for adding resourceTypeGeneral, so I have left this out as I cannot find any updated resource that explains this one way or the other - the rifcs schema documents I'm looking at also do not define resourceType AFAIK - if anyone has this information or knows where I should be looking for it, please let me know. If this is available, and resourceType does have to be included, I'm sure it's a minor change and I could have it done quickly.

Kind regards

Hi all

Thanks Kerry Levett at ARDC - I think I have the right information in the full citation style that redbox currently uses, so that the rifcs should be correct now as well.

These changes will be present in the redbox-distro 1.10.2-SNAPSHOT.

Any feedback welcome.

Kind regards
