MetaResolver_HandleTemplate

Idea

• The Handle.Net System is used as a central entry point for PID resolution.
• It utilizes the Handle System's "Template Handle" feature
  • s. "HANDLE.NET (Ver. 9) Technical Manual" --> Chapter 11
• A test prefix is prepared for supporting various templates for different ID types.
• Specific handles were created with those templates, which can match on various ID types, each.
• Resolution is offered by
  1. native handle protocol
  2. web proxy with web GUI
  3. REST API
  4. CLI command line (java library + java client)

Current status

What works

• Currently, the following ID types are supported

  • ARK
  • arXiv
  • DOI
  • Handle
  • SWHID
  • URN-NBN-DE
  • URN-NBN-FI
  • Zenodo

• The following prefix is used: 21.T11973

• 4 handles are prepared: 1 for ARKs, 1 for arXiv, 1 for SWHID and 1 for URN-NBN-DE, 1 for URN-NBN-FI and 1 for Zenodo ~

  • This is now all merged into one handle! (21.T11973/MR)

• global proxy resolver to test everything: https://141.5.100.20:8000/

• the global proxy http://hdl.handle.net/ also works

• The landing page of a given pid could be requested if ?landingpage is added at the end of the pid or just only use the pid, for example 21.T11973/MR@urn:nbn:de:hbz:6-85659524771?landingpage or 21.T11973/MR@urn:nbn:de:hbz:6-85659524771

• Metadata record as far as offered by the respective providers could be requested if ?metadata is added at the end of the pid, for example 21.T11973/MR@urn:nbn:de:hbz:6-85659524771?metadata

• Resource of the pid also as far as offered could be requested if ?resource is added at the end of the pid, for example 21.T11973/MR@urn:nbn:de:hbz:6-85659524771?resource

   • Zenodo: 21.T11973/MR@10.5281/zenodo.8056361

3. Alternatively a pid example and a display type, including landingpage, metadata or resource, could be selected on ~~https://141.5.100.20:8000/ from the given test pids.

4. There is a resolution matrix on ~~https://141.5.100.20:8000/ which indicates the response types available for each given provider.
