Add Existing DOI Metadata into CrossRef

[lomky]

We are moving our DOI management over to CrossRef from EZID.

Process:

• [ ] Migrate the existing DOIs
  • [ ] Confirm the DOIs resolve properly via CrossRef
• [ ] Migrate the existing DOI Metadata
  • [x] Download the EZID data as Datacite XML format.
  • [ ] Convert into the CrossRef XML format for depositing DOI metadata.
  • [ ] Upload to CrossRef

So my suggestion for approaching this project would be:

• decide on your language for the script (python? 2 or 3?)
• find Python modules for Datacite & CrossRef (these modules' compatibility may affect your python 2 vs 3 version choice)
• write out a skeleton script for reading in, translating, and uploading the changes
• flesh out the reading in section using the Datacite module to convert the data into python objects
• flesh out the translation section to get things formatted for CrossRef
• flesh out the upload section for adding the info to CrossRef using the CrossRef module.

Due to time limitations, we are just doing this manually rather than scripting it.
