1.     I will be storing DOIs in dc.identifier.doi, as soon as I get it set up. 
 (I am new to DOI registrations.)  I am temporarily storing them in the same 
field as handles.

2.     Other DOIs – my plan is to put these in a dc.relation field.  I see that 
UMN did that, too.  When doing retrospective assignment of DOIs, I found that a 
dataset I have is also in Dryad.  I need to come up with a better plan, but in 
the meantime I added:  dc.relation   Also available in Dryad: 
https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.9bg43.

3.     I see advantages to having different persistent identifiers in different 
fields.  a) Easier to manipulate the data, if needed, in the DSpace instance of 
when the data is exported.  b) The display of the fields in a local repository 
can be customized with different labels, order of display changed, etc.

There was a discussion on the DCAT list last fall about DOIs.  This ticket was 
referenced:  https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3708:  …  it is proposed that 
we move all DOIs generated by DSpace into a new field 'dc.identifier.doi'.  
This will resolve the discrepancy between the DataCite and EZID DOI generation 
code (DS-2199<https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2199>), disentangle 
generated DOIs from Handles, and consistently separate generated DOIs from 
user-entered DOIs.  Thereafter, dc.identifier will hold all user-supplied 
identifiers; dc.identifier.doi will hold all DSpace-generated DOIs; and 
dc.identifier.uri will hold all Handles.  This will make storage of identifiers 
more consistent, prevent confusion of generated and submitted identifiers, and 
make it simpler to work with generated identifiers since each field will hold 
only one type.

Subject: [dspace-community] Best Practices in DSpace DOIs and Dublin Core?

1. If your DSpace instance is generating DOIs and storing them in the DSpace 
Dublin Core metadata, how are you doing this?

To be specific, are you (A) storing the DSpace DOI in the same metadata field 
as the DSpace handle? dc.identifier.uri? (See for example: 
https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/188066 ... which stores both the 
handle and the doi in dc.identifier.)

Or, are you (B) using a different metadata field to store the DSpace DOI? (One 
might use dc.identifier.doi, for example? But I haven't seen this used for this 
purpose yet.)

2. With the above in mind, where do you store non-DSpace DOIs? For example, if 
the work has a doi that resolves to a different site (a CrossRef journal doi, 
probably), do you store that external doi in dc.identifier.doi? Or do you store 
it in a different metadata field, such as ... dc.relation.isversionof?

3. Finally, are you aware of any downstream issues that might result from 
choosing to store the DSpace DOI in the same DC field with the handle? Will 
sites that harvest or crawl our metadata fail to see the DOI?
