Hi Antonio (and Pauline)DOIs (issued by Datacite or CrossRef) are always an alternative for Persistant URLs (PURLs) inteads of CNRI´s Handles, except for the price. The figures are (correct me if I´m wrong , ) CrossRef DOIs-> 250$ annual membreship + 1$ per identifier and Datacite--> 2.000€ annual fee+ variable fee depending use of services, see https://blog.datacite.org/the-new-datacite-membership-and-fees-model/) For a repository having to issue thousands of identifiers (culture heritage objects tends to multiply ) the figures are HIGH¡¡¡
Dspace can not run (at this moment) without assigning handles (not only the objects but the collections and communities have handles) but that do not imply to convert the handles into PURLs, registering them into a service as CNRI (50$ annual fee, no individual fee per item, quite cheap service). Interestingly enough, some institutions have avoided issuing handles many years (read the details in https://www.arvo.es/dspace/uso-de-identificadores-persistentes/) .
Antonio, your question remains...
how would create good permanent links with a handle? At the moment, the links contain a default prefix (handle/123456789) plus a local identifier, e.g. handle/123456789/16.
a not very "academic" solution.... * Choose a stable Base URL for your repository --> a Public institution domain is always a good start, since the do not change domain names very often. repositorio.ohc.cu could serve, the name of your institution has not changed since 1938¡¡¡ Keep in mind that IF that web address change, the URLs pointing to your objects will change, and that wil become a big problem. As long as that base URL is maintained, you have build a pseudo "persistence" of your links * You can also change 123456789 to any value, even a text would serve, it is not so important, but once choosed, do not change.And voilá , you will have "pseudo"-PURL system, and your objects will be referenced with (example) repositorio.ohc.cu/handle/habana/16
Best luck with your repository. Dont doubt contact us for any additional questions Emilio On 28/05/2021 17:24, WARD Pauline wrote:
Buenos Dias AntonioSome DSpace repositories, such as my own, Edinburgh DataShare, create DataCite DOIs, Digital Object Identifiers, alongside our handles. DataCite is headquartered at the British Library, so they might not be constrained by that embargo. DataCite is a great organisation and we find our researchers are very keen to get the DOI for their data.The only potential problem for you I think is whether DSpace can run without creating the handles – I have a feeling when we added the minting of DOIs, the sysadmin said DSpace required us to continue generating handles. But that was a few years ago, so you would need to investigate whether that is still the case.Kind regards, Pauline Pauline Ward Research Data Support Assistant, University of Edinburghhttps://www.ed.ac.uk/is/research-data-service <https://www.ed.ac.uk/is/research-data-service>I’m working from home full time.*From:*[email protected] <[email protected]>*Sent:* 28 May 2021 01:12 *To:* Digest recipients <[email protected]>*Subject:* [dspace-community] Digest for [email protected] - 1 update in 1 topic*This email was sent to you by someone outside the University.*You should only click on links or attachments if you are certain that the email is genuine and the content is safe.[email protected]Google Groups <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email/#!overview>Image removed by sender. <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email/#!overview>Topic digest View all topics ·Alternatives to Handle <#group_thread_0> - 1 UpdateAlternatives to Handle <http://groups.google.com/group/dspace-community/t/8f06c80b70a5e291?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email>Antonio RC <[email protected]>: May 27 12:43AM -0700 Hello everybody, I am currently collaborating on the implementation of a DSpace repositoryinstalled in server hosted by a cultural heritage institution (Oficina del Historiador de la Ciudad de la Habana) in Cuba as part of Humboldt DigitalProject. We have encountered a big problem unfortunately: due to the Embargo situtation in Cuba, the Handle provider has declined our request to register the repository and obtain a prefix for the Cuban institution -- even though this is a German-Cuban cooperation project and the services would be paid by the German institutions. I would like to ask you two questions: - I would like to ask you if you know any alternatives to Handle thatcould be used instead. Is there any other provider of persistent identifierthat is not based in the States? - If there is no alternative, how would create good permanent links with a handle? At the moment, the links contain a default prefix (handle/123456789) plus a local identifier, e.g. handle/123456789/16. Many thanks in advance for your help.
