Pascal-Nicolas Becker created DS-1535:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: DOI support for dspace-api
Key: DS-1535
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1535
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Documentation, DSpace API
Reporter: Pascal-Nicolas Becker
Priority: Major
It would be great if DSpace could mint, reserve and register DOIs.
With the item version support, @mire added support for external identifier
systems. We developed a DOIIdentfierProvider. In this ticket we want to discuss
design decisions, our code and perhaps some changes in DSpace, that could be
helpful.
The code can be found on Github: https://github.com/tuub/DSpace/tree/DOI
A documentation can be found in the wiki:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/~pbecker/DOI+support+using+DataCite
So some of the topics to discuss (in the comment, on dspace-devel, on github or
where ever) are:
* If an IdentifierProvider throws an IdentifierException - as the current API
allows it - DSpace (at least XMLUI) fails to publish an item. How could the
ExceptionHandling be enhanced? What to do if an external API is temporarily
unavailable or if registration of an Identifier fails?
* For some identifiers (like DOIs) metadata will be stored externally. How do
we want to handle metadata update within DSpace? Is there a way in DSpace to
keep track of metadata changes? Can we extend the IdentifierProvider API to
update external metadata stores?
* We did not tested the current DOI implementation with versioning support.
What are the differences between the HandleIdentifierProvider and the
VersionedHandleIdentifierProvider? Do we need a VersionedDOIIdentifierProvider?
* Do we want to register DOIs for Items only or for communities, sub
communitites and collections as well?
* ...
Currently our code does not care about the UIs. How to display DOIs could be
discussed in a seperate ticket. We want to get the API part running first...
