This repository provides documentation for HydroShare's implementation of deposit metadata for registration of digital object identifiers (DOIs) for published resources. The HydroShare production system is at https://www.hydroshare.org.
HydroShare currently uses Crossref to register DOIs for published resources. When a DOI is registered, the DOI registration system allows metadata to be deposited which can then be queried by anyone who has the DOI. In this repository we describe how HydroShare's resource metadata is mapped to Crossref's deposit metadata schema.
This repository was created to document HydroShare's deposit metadata implementation, and may be changed depending on HydroShare's use of DOI registration system.
The use case that drives HydroShare's practice and efforts to accurately map HydroShare's metadata to the Crossref deposit metadata schema is related to other systems accessing the deposit metadata for a registered DOI. For example, many invetigators with grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) wish to register published datasets with NSF's Public Access Repository (NSF-PAR) so that those resources can be included in the investigator's annual or final report to NSF. NSF-PAR has the capability to automatically retrieve metadata for a given a DOI, but only if deposit metadata for that DOI exists within the system in which the DOI is registered.
