Re: [CODE4LIB] Strategy for assigning DOIs?

2016-02-11 Thread Kevin Hawkins
Jason, It sounds like your question is really about whether the tool built into DSpace for assigning DOIs lets you control which DOI to use for a new item, or whether you have no control over which DOI it assigns. For that, I think you'll need to look into the specifics of the tool built

We should probably clarify you're needs a bit. Will you need technology that manages authentication of authorized users, or does your non-profit already have some tool (like a user login or proxy server) that can decide which users should be able to get access to your resources? You mention

It sounds like there are two sorts of things you need to clean up: a) OCR errors b) Formatting (like unnecessary line breaks) For the former, I understand that Adobe Acrobat and ABBYY FineReader have tools built in to spellchecking. PrimeOCR, an expensive OCR package, has a related package

I agree with Bryan's caution against relying on publisher's use of ISBNs. You can't even rely on the ebook having an ISBN different from that used by the print edition (or one of the print editions). There is nothing like ISSN-L for ISBNs. You could use the What Work? LibraryThing API:
