Re: [EP-tech] DataCiteDOI plugin

Hi George,
Thanks for the thoughts.

Yes - this comes about from the White Rose three-way fun, but there is a similar situation we may encounter when housing two pre-existing collections together into one (Leeds specific) repository.

In that case, a different prefix is used for each collection, but (I think) one DataCite account has the ability to mint under both prefixes.

You can try adding a DOI with a different prefix to the relevant field of a dataobject, but it doesn't work. Currently the code checks whether the DOI supplied starts with the expected prefix e.g. https://github.com/eprintsug/DataCiteDoi/blob/main/lib/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Event/DataCiteEvent.pm#L66 

I'll make a public branch and put the code in there. It can be merged into the main branch if others would find it useful. If not, I'll just reference the branch from my stack 🙂

Cheers,
John

Hi John – Gosh, that sounds quite unusual – but interesting! Is this arising from the White Rose Repo consolidation of mint-able works across three difference institutions, each with their own DataCite membership? I would suggest that it is local requirement. But how unique is the White Rose scenario? Perhaps I am underestimating the number of shared EPrints repos out there…?

 

However, I can envisage use cases, for example if a standalone repo is used for an overlay journal, that there might be requirements to transfer a previous DOI account(s) to the local repo, thereby requiring the local repo to operate several accounts. There are probably other use cases that I haven’t thought about. So, perhaps less unusual and more uncommon.

 

Cheers

 

George

Hi EPrints people,

 

The current implementation of the DataCite DOI plugin (https://github.com/eprintsug/DataCiteDoi) expects one prefix and one user account to mint DOIs with.

 

I need to mint things against multiple prefixes, and with multiple accounts.

Do other people have a similar requirement at all - or is it just a local requirement I have?

 

Cheers,

John
