Minting DOIs: Procedure ANDS Cite My Service

• Request to ANDS Cite My Data Service for testing

• Email services@ands.org.au with– DOI Account Name: Name of the organisation– IP Address: register for minting DOIs– Contact name: – Contact Email Address:– Top Level domain URL

Minting DOIs• From ANDS– appID

• Production Level– Sign Cite My Data Participant Agreement form– The appID will be upgraded to production– Testing can be done by prefixing “TEST” to appID.

• Identifying test vs production DOIs– 10.5072 is a test DOI prefix– 10.4225, 10.4226, 10.4227 are production DOI prefix

Mint DOIs for datasets residing in multiple institutes and infrastructures

TERN DOI Service - Governance

• DOI should be assigned to the datasets which are fit for public consumption

• Only Data Manager is authorised to mint DOIs• DOI always resolved to the point-of-truth

metadata URL of the dataset.– “all DOIs minted through ANDS must resolve to a public

landing page that contains information about the associated dataset and a direct link to the dataset itself”

• Care should be taken not to mint duplicate DOIs for datasets.

TERN DOI service

• Administration– GateKeeper approach

Registration

Optional metadata for minting DOI

Manage DOIs

Other methods to mint DOIs

• APIs to access TERN DOI service is also available.– Need to register with the system to use API.

• Enable DOI minting integrated into data management system.

Check list to mint DOI

• Need to have a landing page for the datasets• Provide mandatory metadata adhering to

Datacite schema• Commitment to make DOI is always resolvable

to publically accessible landing page.• Access to data from the landing page• Suitable for all kinds of datahttp://dx.doi.org/10.4227/05/508637F997933

Challenges: data publisher perspective

• When is dataset ready for DOI– Dataset is ready for public consumption and can be re-usable– Identify the data creators

• Granularity of data to mint DOIs– At record level or collection level– Depending on how the data will be used

• DOI for constantly evolving data (real-time data)– DOI is generally minted for archival data– RDA –data citation Interest Group looking at the same problem

( focus more form the data from the source approach)• Can mint a DOI based on user query

Challenges: Data publisher perspective

• Part of dataset published in other repositories e.g., Dryad, – Use “related identifier” element of the schema to

provide relationship.– Use optional metadata where necessary.
