ISIS & ESRF Dataflows
- Alex Kemp
A look at how other departments facilitate the creation of DOIs and data publications
ISIS
Only allow DOI creation for Studies and Investigations
Does not open up commercial data unless specifically requested
Does not allow the deletion of DOIs/Publications. Any cleanup is a manual process.
Only a script/cron job creates the DOIs, so no user-defined ones
This script runs on a schedule (every 6 hours atm) which generates DOIs. It creates a DOI for any investigations with datafiles linked to them, and any studies those investigations are linked to. The thing that creates the DOI is here
DOIs & landing pages are created as soon as a datafile is detected in icat, even though the data is still in the embargo period, for example here.
A release date is automatically set by their ingestion process, which is three years after data creation
Their ingest has 2 main parts:
The LiveIngest monitors the ISIS data archive for file events and updates ICAT accordingly.
The BusinessIngest takes data from the BusApps systems (scheduler, visits, proposals, users).

ESRF
Automatic process:
The Automatic process is triggered by the Investigation's end date.
Specifically (endDate=today & there is data & !proprietary research)
An email is also sent to the participants of the investigation.
They only produce DOIs for datasets
They don’t use Data Publications yet and just put the DOI in the Investigation and Data Collection
They use a minter user to create DOIs, they can
CRU minters DataCollection
CR minters DataCollectionParameter
CR minters DataCollectionDataset
R minters Dataset
R minters ParameterType
Anon Users can just Read DataCollections
User-defined and misc:
Only participants in the Investigation can create DOIs
A user can create a DOI spanning multiple investigations as long as they are participants in all of them. example here
Can’t create a DOI of DOIs. If a publication already has a DOI, then a new one is created
relatedID aren't used, but they are planning to
DOIs cannot be minted at a later date.
If a user wants a publication removed, they send an email, and it is removed manually
Their data policy is also 3 years from the creation date, and special permission needs to be sought to extend this.
They have a data policy here
