Comment: Noted different configuration for DOI metadata conversion since 6.0

...

To reserve or register a DOI, DataCite requires that metadata be supplied which describe the object that the DOI addresses. The file [dspace]/config/crosswalks/DIM2DataCite.xsl controls the conversion of metadata from the DSpace internal format into the DataCite format. You If you are running a version of DSpace earlier than 6.0, you have to add your DOI prefix, namespace separator and the name of your institution to this file:

Just change the value in the variable named "publisher".

If you are running DSpace 6.0 or later, then these should instead be configured using the crosswalk.dissemination.DataCite.* properties in local.cfg.  You should not need to edit DIM2DataCite.xsl.

If you want to know more about the DataCite Schema, have a look at the documentation. If you change this file in a way that is not compatible with the DataCite schema, you won't be able to reserve and register DOIs anymore. Do not change anything if you're not sure what you're doing.
