[Dspace-general] Enquiry about DOI on DSpace

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Weng,

We use DOI identifiers here at The University of Waikato without any problem, we've also written a small patch to render a DOI as a proper URL -- very similar to the way dc.identifier.uri (handle links) or a date field is handled.
You can see an example of this at http://waikato.researchgateway.ac.nz/handle/10289/439 - the DOI is entered during submission or item edit, and when metadata is displayed, you it generates a nice link to http://dx.doi.org/<doi>

If you're interested in the patch or have any other questions just ask. Hopefully I'm not being too technical on the dspace-general list.

Hi all,

 

Would like to enquire about the process of implementing Digital Object
Identifier (DOI) on DSpace. 

 

This is because our organization is thinking about implementing DOI on
DSpace and thus would like to study the experiences of other
institutions on this matter.

 

Many thanks for the advice in advance.

 

Regards,

Weng Leong
