Update DataCite schema 3 records to schema 4

jsjiang commented 5 months ago

We received an email from DataCite regarding Schema 3 deprecating schedule and request of updating metadata to Schema 4.

From: Kelly Stathis support@datacite.org Date: Tuesday, January 30, 2024 at 9:00 AM To: EZID EZID@UCOP.EDU, Rushiraj Nenuji Rushiraj.Nenuji@ucop.edu, John Chodacki John.Chodacki@ucop.edu, Jing Jiang Jing.Jiang@ucop.edu Subject: Action Required: Schema 3 usage within your consortium CAUTION: EXTERNAL EMAIL Dear California Digital Library team,

I'm writing to share that DataCite plans to deprecate Schema 3 on January 1, 2025, and to request your assistance with communicating this change to the Consortium Organizations within your consortium.

You can read more about what will change here: https://support.datacite.org/docs/updating-from-schema-3-to-schema-4. Once we deprecate Schema 3, repositories will be required to use Schema 4 for DOI registration and metadata updates.

There are 8 Repositories in your consortium with at least one Schema 3 DOI. Of these, 2 actively used Schema 3 in the past year to register or update DOIs. The Repositories actively using Schema 3 will be impacted by this change.

To assist you in understanding this usage, I have attached a spreadsheet of Repositories in your consortium to this email. This is broken down as follows:

• Count of DOIs (Total) • Count of DOIs registered/updated in 2023 • Count of Schema 3 DOIs • Count of Schema 3 DOIs registered/updated in 2023 • Count of Schema 3 DOIs missing resourceTypeGeneral • Count of Schema 3 DOIs missing resourceTypeGeneral registered/updated in 2023 • Count of Schema 3 DOIs with contributorType "Funder" • Count of Schema 3 DOIs with contributorType "Funder" registered/updated in 2023

The counts of DOIs missing resourceTypeGeneral and using contributorType "Funder" are included because these DOIs are not compatible with Schema 4. For more information, please see the FAQ covering differences between Schema 3 and Schema 4.

Please work with your Consortium Organizations as soon as possible to ensure that each has sufficient time to update their systems and workflows to use DataCite Metadata Schema 4. We're available to answer any questions you have about the process.

Best regards, Kelly
