Use DOI for datasetID #6

Closed peterdesmet closed 9 years ago

peterdesmet commented 10 years ago

We currently populate datasetID with something like: http://dataset.inbo.be/vis-inland-occurrences. This links to the resource on our IPT. This however, is not the dataset key used in the GBIF portal and through the GBIF API, which is 823dc56e-f987-495c-98bf-43318719e30f. Should we change to this GBIF UUID?

+

Single key used everywhere
-
The UUID is a URL, but Googling it gets you the page
The page the UUID links to does not mention the IPT page, but users can download the original Darwin Core Archive from there.
We can only get the UUID once we publish, so we can only populate it at second publication.

Even though there are disadvantages, I'm still tempted to do this. Dag from Norway is doing the same. What do you think @DimEvil?

DimEvil commented 10 years ago

I don 't know. There are pro and contra's. There is something similar possible with occurrenceID's. I'm not sure if this would be better.

peterdesmet commented 10 years ago

But occurrenceIDs issued by GBIF are currently not stable.

Another thing: eventually datasetIDs might become DOIs.

DimEvil commented 10 years ago

Dag talked about a kind of protocol for this. But i'm not in favour, this might need some "check out" time.

Follow up: we should use the dataset DOI in datasetID.

peterdesmet commented 9 years ago

Decided to use DOIs, as those are more stable. DOIs currently link to GBIF pages, but that can be changed in the future.
