Configuration File:[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg
Property:
identifier.doi.user
Example Value:
Code Block
identifier.doi.user = user123
Informational Note:Username to login into the API of the DOI registration agency. You'll get it from you DOI registration agency.
Property:
identifier.doi.password
Example Value:
Code Block
identifier.doi.password = top-secret
Informational Note:Password to login into the API of the DOI registration agency. You'll get it from you DOI registration agency.
Property:
identifier.doi.prefix
Example Value:
Code Block
identifier.doi.prefix = 10.5072
Informational Note:The prefix you got from the DOI registration agency. All your DOIs start with the prefix, followed by a slash and a suffix generated from DSpace. The prefix can be compared with a namespace within the DOI system.
Property:
identifier.doi.namespaceseparator
Example Value:
Code Block
identifier.doi.namespaceseparator = dspace-
Informational Note:This property is optional. If you want to use the same DOI prefix in several DSpace installations or with other tools that generate and register DOIs it is necessary to use a namespace separator. All the DOIs that DSpace generates will start with the DOI prefix, followed by a slash, the namespace separator and some number generated by DSpace. If for For example, if your prefix is 10.5072 and you want all DOIs generated by DSpace to look like 10.5072/dspace-1023 you have to set this as in the example value above.

Metadata conversion

To reserve a DOI, DataCite requests metadata from the object the DOI addresses. It is mandatory to send those metadata to reserve and register a DOI. The file [dspace]/config/crosswalks/DIM2DataCite.xsl controls the conversion of metadata from the DSpace internal format into the DataCite format. You have to add the name of you your institution into this file:

...

If you want to know more about the DataCite Scheme, take have a look in at the documentation. If you change this file in a way that it is not compatible with the DataCite schema, you won't be able to reserve and register DOIs any more. So please do anymore. Do not change anything your if you're not sure aboutwhat you're doing.

Identifier Service

The Identifier Service manage the generation, reservation and registration of identifiers within DSpace. You can configure it using the config file located in [dspace]/config/spring/api/identifier-service.xml. In the file you should already find the code to configure DSpace to register DOIs, just read the comments and remove the comment signs around the two appropriate beans.
