This means looking the DOI up online and confirming if it exists? Or validating certain key meta-data against DataCite etc.? I guess it would flag a warning if not found or it does't match? (just checking that this won't cause problems for non-PDS data)

@msbentley I am imagining at this point it would look up the DOI through our PDS DOI database, but I agree, we will need to figure this out for non-NASA DOIs. maybe we handle this similar to context product checks? or maybe PSA could send us regular reports of their DOIs so we can import into our database?

Thanks @jordanpadams - let's discuss offline the best way to do this. As we talked about at IPDA we don't have a unique DOI prefix for planetary data (it's mixed in with other ESA science data collections). However, we could consider opening our database of products (I believe it has a TAP service hooked up, but would have to confirm), or as you suggest giving validate the option to take an external json or similar.

To come back on the above, indeed the TAP service with our DOIs will be open publically, so when everything is in place I'll get back to you to understand how we could use it to allow validation of PSA DOIs
