I will merge this and we can review the standard method to present DOIs within the ERDDAP dataset as part of the CIOOS metadata form yaml to erddap xml conversion tool here https://github.com/cioos-siooc/cioos-yaml-to-erddap/pull/3
Description
Objective: This PR is to define and discuss the approch used by Hakai to represent DOI associated to a datasets in ERDDAP. The present exercise is for two research datasets within Hakai (https://github.com/HakaiInstitute/hakai-datasets/issues/32 and https://github.com/HakaiInstitute/hakai-datasets/issues/8)
DOI landing page: As agreed, each individual DOI will link to the CKAN Metadata record associated with the ERDDAP datasets.
All this is related to the discussion in issue #70
Conventions
Within CIOOS - ONC As mentioned by @Br-Johnson, ONC started using the the
DOI
attribute and the full url (ex:https://doi.org/10.21966/wsvt-ew96
) based on some discussion within the ERDDAP group (see here).The capitalized term
DOI
may not be appropriate (most conventions used all lower case attributes) and although it's handy in ERDDAP to have the full link given, I haven't seen any other examples that are using it. Most uses just the identifier part (e.g.10.21966/wsvt-ew96
). This is small details but it can be annoying when this starts getting used widely.CF Convention An issue to suggest the
doi
attribute without the proxy part (e.g.10.21966/wsvt-ew96
) was posted few years ago (2019) on the CF convention Github repository (see here). Unfortunately, the long discussions never came to an agreement and the issue remained open up to this date. A few ERDDAP groups are however following this suggested convention:ACDD Convention 1.3 ACDD has two RECOMMEND attributes related to this topic:
I haven't found any example of those attributes used for a DOI anywhere yet, but I would suggest using the following:
Suggestion Used by Hakai
Based on all presented below, I would suggest using the following standards:
doi
: DOI identifier without the proxy (e.g. 10.21966/wsvt-ew96). I would recommend using lowercase only (notDOI
) since it follows the CF and ACDD conventions.id
: DOI identifier without the proxy (e.g. 10.21966/wsvt-ew96)naming_authority
: org.doi (as suggested by ACDD 1.3 with using the reverse-DNS naming)infoURL
: Info URL should point to the CKAN Metadata record by either using the DOI (if available) or a direct link (e.g. https://catalogue.hakai.org/dataset/ca-cioos_d55021c3-a142-4e14-8208-36c9826c1893)Finally in ERDDAP dataset.xml those would be represented as:
