GREI 2: HDV Task: Support Multiple DataCite Providers

[cmbz]

Overview

Dataverse currently allows DataCite Repository credentials to be specified at the instance/installation level. This means that all datasets will be part of the same DataCite Repository and have the same prefix. Currently, it is not possible to specify different credentials for different Dataverse collections. Because only one set of DataCite Repository credentials can be specified, all DOIs must be managed by the administrator of the instance.

A growing use case for Dataverse collections is to serve as institutional repositories within a single Dataverse installation. With this setup, institutions should be able to manage their own DataCite DOIs. This proposal outlines the work required to allow multiple sets of DataCite repository credentials to be active within a single Dataverse instance.

Background

Four Dataverse installations serve as use cases for this task: (see Multiple DataCite credentials in Dataverse)

1. Universidad del Rosario (El Repositorio de datos de investigación)
2. Consortio Madrono
3. Texas Data Repository @ Texas Digital Library
4. Borealis (formerly Scholars Portal Dataverse)
