Description
For more than a decade, GESIS was offering DOI registration for data sets at datacite through the dara portal and several DDI driven dataportals have used dara to assign persistent identifiers to their content.
By the end of this year, this technical service will be discontinued while GESIS will continue offering access to datacite and consulting about the usage of datacite fabrica and its API as a replacement.
Nevertheless, the convenience features, the technical dara implementation had offered might be missed by institutions that had to change their DOI registration processes. To fill this gap, we like to present a simple tool for an easy, form-based interaction with the datacite API. The tool has no further technical dependencies than a current web browser and is available as open source.
The simplicity of the code makes it some kind of best practice guide for integrating DOI registration into the DDI tooling of data portals. This will also include the mapping fo DDI content to datacite metadata fields.
