A tag is a word or phrase which is attached to one or more records to assist in grouping and discovery. Tags are stored separately from a record's RIF-CS to ensure they are persistent across harvests/imports. A searching and filtering tool is provided to help Data Source Administrators to apply tags to appropriate groups of records.

The changes operate off a hierarchy of relationships between funder party records, activities, and collections using the funds/isFundedBy, isPartOf/hasPart and hasOutput/ isOutputOf relationships. *Example of a funder party record* ![R19-funder-party-record](http://mon.clients.squiz.net/__data/assets/image/0004/456988/funder-party-record.jpg) ### Research Vocabularies Australia Research Vocabularies Australia has had a minor makeover with the addition of a new [Home page](https://vocabs.ardc.edu.au/). *New Research Vocabularies Australia home page* ![R19-RVA home](http://mon.clients.squiz.net/__data/assets/image/0006/456990/RVA-Home.jpg) A [Widget Explorer page](https://vocabs.ardc.edu.au/vocabs/page/widget_explorer) has been added to Research Vocabularies Australia, where users can follow a simple step by step process to configure and explore the ANDS Vocabulary Widget. Users can try the widget with any widgetable vocabulary published in Research Vocabularies Australia. *New Widget Explorer page in Research Vocabularies Australia* ![R19-WidgetExplorer](http://mon.clients.squiz.net/__data/assets/image/0008/456992/Widget-Explorer.jpg) ### ANDS Widgets V2 Minor updates have been made to all of [ANDS Widgets](http://developers.ands.org.au/widgets) to enabling request logging. Logging of requests will allow ANDS to better understand service usages and monitor the system for quality purposes. Version 2 of the widgets will enable users to pass an optional API key in each request. Where an API key is not passed as a parameter in the request the system will log the request against a public API key. While optional, ANDS recommends users register for a free API key to be used with ANDS widgets and services. Registering will allow us to keep users informed of changes and planned outages to our services. Users can request an API key [here](https://researchdata.edu.au/registry/services/register). To learn how to implement it, please visit the relevant widget page on [Developers.ANDS](http://developers.ands.org.au/widgets). Version 1 of the widgets are still accessible and will be supported for a period of 6 months. If you have any questions or concerns please contact [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au). --- language: "en" --- # ARDC Services: Maintenance Windows and Product Versions Dear all, ARDC is committed to stable, reliable services to support leading edge research. In support of this, we will introduce the following changes to the way we manage our products or services starting next week, **4 April 2023**: * The implementation of a service or product changes/updates will be scheduled during the Maintenance Windows (see [schedule](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/ardc-online-services-introduction-of-maintenance-w.md#ARDCServices:MaintenanceWindowsandProductVersions-MaintenanceWindow) below) * Versions will be individually assigned for in scope products or services (see [current product versions](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/ardc-online-services-introduction-of-maintenance-w.md#ARDCServices:MaintenanceWindowsandProductVersions-CurrentVersions)below) ## What is a Maintenance Window? A Maintenance Window is a regular recurring event during which planned outages and changes are agreed to occur. It provides stakeholders with predictable period s of possible disruption to the systems and services they use. It is a time period defined to run manual and/or automated maintenance activities in order to maintain the health of or implement enhancements to our systems and services. ### ARDC Online Services Maintenance Windows [**RDA**](https://researchdata.edu.au/)**,** [**RVA**](https://vocabs.ardc.edu.au/)**, Handle Service,** [**Jira Service Desk**](https://jira.ardc.edu.au/)**and** [**Technical Documentation Portal**](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/) * Weekly maintenance: Tuesdays, 2-5pm AEST (or AEDT during daylight saving) * Annual maintenance: every Monday of January, between 1pm and 5pm AEDT **Research Activity Identifier (RAiD)** * RAiD follows a different schedule and its Maintenance window is documented [here](https://github.com/au-research/raido/blob/main/doc/service-level-guide.md#maintenance-window). ## How do we communicate maintenance? * **Regular maintenance windows:** * [The Maintenance Window](https://ardc.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=DSS&title=ARDC%20Online%20Services%20Maintenance%20Window) is available on the ARDC Technical Documentation page. Product contacts (ie. Data Source Administrators, RVA publishers, Handle contacts, etc) will no longer receive email announcements. * The ARDC status page () will be updated with the scheduled maintenance. Everyone is encouraged to subscribe to this page to receive regular updates on planned (and unplanned) maintenance. * Pop up banners will be available on the affected services (e.g. RDA Registry, RDA Portal, RVA portal, etc.) as necessary during the maintenance period. * A [changelog](https://ardc.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=DSS&title=Online%20Services%20Product%20Changelog%20%28copied%20-%202023-06-20%29) will have the list of changes implemented under each version for the affected product/service. * **Other types of maintenance:** * For other required maintenance that do not fall under the regular maintenance windows and that would require downtime (e.g. urgent implementation of a security patch), the ARDC status page () will be updated. It is highly recommended that you subscribe to our Status Page to get notifications about our product announcements and maintenance. ## What is Product Versioning? Product or service versioning refers to the different versions of the products and/or services that ARDC releases. Versioning is important because it helps both the users and the implementors track the different versions implemented and released by ARDC. It also helps to track and identify the changes that have been implemented since the last release. And because some of the ARDC products are available as open source products, versions will be useful in assessing issues and bugs reported by users and/or implementors. ### Version number Product or service versioning will follow the [SemVer](https://semver.org/) versioning format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (eg. version 1.0.0) | | **Description** | **Examples** | |-------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------| | MAJOR | A major version | Release of a new look and feel of RDA | | MINOR | An addition (or deletion) of a feature or functionality Components may have its own version number | Addition of Theme pages in RDA | | PATCH | A change to an existing feature or functionality, normally bug fixes | Change to the layout of Theme page homepage in RDA | ### Optional versions: Depending on the extent and complexity of a major release, the ARDC Implementation team may introduce an Alpha and/or Beta release, generally for testing, prior to the actual release. * Alpha version * This is the version of the product or service that is used by the internal team for testing. * Bugs and feature issues are expected to be identified during the Alpha version. * Major issues are otherwise resolved before it can be moved to the Beta version. * Beta version: * May be made available primarily for nominated users to test the functionality of the product/service prior to its general availability. * It can also be used for demonstrations purposes. * When major issues have been fixed and all functionalities are tested to be working, the Beta version can also be used by the Beta testers to accept the product for production release. * Any bugs identified after the beta testing are considered acceptable and do not affect the overall functionality of the product or service. ### Current ARDC Online Services Versions **RDA, RVA, Handle, DVRS, Linked Data IRI** The products or services and their major components listed below have been assigned it's current version based on previous releases. | **Product Name** | **Component** | **Current Version** | **Description** | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Research Data Australia (RDA)](https://researchdata.edu.au/) | RDA Registry and Portal | 3.0.0 | Research Data Australia Portal helps users find, access, and reuse data for research from over one hundred Australian research organisations, government agencies, and cultural institutions.

However, ARDC encourages everyone to subscribe to the ARDC status page () to get notified of any scheduled (and unscheduled) maintenance in any of our services. Take note of the Maintenance Window and ensure that you schedule your activities accordingly. ## Questions? For any questions or feedback, please email [services@ardc.edu.au.](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au.) --- language: "en" --- # DOI Service: Please update to DataCite Schema version 4.1 *12 February 2019* Subject: \[DOI Service\] Please update to DataCite Schema version 4.1 (versions 2.1 and 2.2 are no longer supported) Dear all, Please be informed that DataCite stopped supporting schema versions 2.1 and 2.2 as of last week. If you are still using either of these versions, you may have experienced error(s) minting or updating DOIs the past few days. In this regard, we would like to ask you to please update your schema version to the latest, version 4.1 (), for you to continue using the ARDC DOI machine-to-machine (API) service. There are several differences between version 2.*x* and version 4.1 of the DataCite schema. However, the only non-backwards compatible change was the introduction of a mandatory 'resourceType' element. This element must be included in your DOI metadata in order to pass schema validation. Here are some examples from DataCite: * [Example with Dataset as ResourceType](http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.1/example/datacite-example-dataset-v4.1.xml) * [Example with Collection as ResourceType](https://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.1/example/datacite-example-ResourceTypeGeneral_Collection-v4.1.xml) * [Example with Workflow as ResourceType](https://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.1/example/datacite-example-workflow-v4.1.xml) Note that any DOIs previously minted using version 2.1 or 2.2 of the DataCite schema will still continue to resolve and no immediate action is required. These DOIs will only need to be updated to the latest metadata version if a change is required to their metadata. If you need to mint/modify a DOI while your software is being updated to the latest version of the schema, you can achieve this through the [My DOIs](https://documentation.ands.org.au/display/DOC/Accessing+My+DOIs) interface. If you need assistance or have any questions, please do not hesitate to send an email to [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au). Thank you. --- language: "en" --- # DOI Service Registration and Transition Workflow ![](https://ardc.atlassian.net/wiki/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/unknown-macro?name=gpresentation&locale=en_GB&version=2) --- language: "en" --- # DOI Technical Changes: Transition to DataCite DOI services As announced in the Release 37 communications on Tuesday, 12 May 2020, the ARDC is in the process of creating accounts and documentation to support the technical transition of ARDC DOI Service users to DataCite DOI services (DataCite Fabrica and APIs). This document provides you with more detailed information on what the changes are, how they will impact you and when we expect the transition activities will be completed. ## Why is the ARDC DOI service changing? The ARDC offers minting of DOIs free of charge to the sector via our [DOI service](https://ardc.edu.au/services/identifier/doi/) . This service is provided in partnership with DataCite, the global DOI consortium providing DOIs for research data and other research objects. Until now ARDC DOI clients have logged into local ARDC systems to request DOIs. In the background ARDC has registered these with the global DataCite systems. Recently DataCite launched a new system called [Fabrica](https://doi.datacite.org/). The Fabrica service now offers the same functionality as the ARDC DOI client service built ten years prior to Fabrica. With Fabrica now in place, our DOI clients will be moving to directly minting DOIs through the DataCite Fabrica service. ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/qIt0YloMmDtoedBkj0iG6U0LusgtuQKDS-Vkl2S1nZvmy4YDalnfTC6_1qAz8zoS15qnd2p81S3r4zAweusOe8voqA0_QAs6i722gMEESADzcs_-wS_iSXQ54sb8wEYHKoGKkfNN](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/qIt0YloMmDtoedBkj0iG6U0LusgtuQKDS-Vkl2S1nZvmy4YDalnfTC6_1qAz8zoS15qnd2p81S3r4zAweusOe8voqA0_QAs6i722gMEESADzcs_-wS_iSXQ54sb8wEYHKoGKkfNN) ## What are the changes? * *Online manual minting:* Manual minting interface is changing from ARDC "My DOIs" to DataCite [Fabrica](https://doi.datacite.org/). New DataCite login details will be issued (one login per organisation). * *Minting via the Application Programming Interface (API):* The new DataCite API is different to the ARDC DOI API (service URLs, messages, responses and error codes). New DataCite authentication credentials will be issued (same as for the online manual system). * The ARDC's quarterly "broken link checks" will cease. DataCite has a [link checker service](https://support.datacite.org/docs/link-checker) that periodically checks a random sampling of DOIs and the results of the link checker are displayed in [DOI Fabrica](https://doi.datacite.org/) at the bottom of each DOI record that has been checked. ### **There are no changes to:** * *Membership fee* : ARDC has funded DataCite membership and DOI minting for Australian research organisations as part of the national information infrastructure and this does not change with the move to the new DataCite systems. * *Guidance and support* : ARDC will continue to provide guidance and best practice to the sector in DOI minting. DOI users still contact [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au) for assistance. * *DOI support in Research Data Australia* : DOIs, when provided, will continue to be displayed in our Research Data Australia service connected to other research entities. * *ARDC-DataCite collaboration* *:* ARDC will continue to serve on the DataCite Board of Directors and the DataCite Community Engagements Steering Group. We will continue to work closely with DataCite on initiatives that maximise the use of DOIs to identify, cite and track research data, software etc.. * *Your DOI production prefix:* it remains exactly the same ## How will the change impact the users? ### **If you use the ARDC online form system ("My DOIs"):** * Each organisation will have an organisational account to login to Fabrica. Individual access will no longer be available, however DataCite plans to move towards [individual authentication in Fabrica](https://portal.productboard.com/71qotggkmbccdwzokuudjcsb/c/13-authentication-by-individuals?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share). The organisation is expected to have a procedure in place to manage access to the DOI service through shared login credentials. * Each user will need to become familiar and accustomed to the new Fabrica Interface. The following ARDC and DataCite guides are available: * Access to the ARDC "My DOIs" application will cease once users transition to DataCite Fabrica * The test DOI prefix will change #### **API users:** * Users of the ARDC DOI API or ARDC DataCite API will need to update their software. * Users will need to determine which of the [DataCite APIs](https://support.datacite.org/docs) best suit their requirements and technical capabilities. Refer to [Guidance for clients transitioning from ARDC APIs to DataCite APIs](https://ardc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DSS/Guidance+for+clients+transitioning+from+the+ARDC+DOI+API) for information instructions on how to migrate to the new APIs. * Users will need to become familiar and accustomed to the new DataCite API request messages, responses and error codes. These are now different from the ARDC DOI API messages, responses and error codes. * The test DOI prefix will change. ## When should DOI clients transition? * DOI transition will commence on 19 May 2020 . Users will plan and schedule their transitions and become familiar with the new systems. * ARDC online form (My DOIs) for manual minting will be decommissioned by 30 Sep 2020 * ARDC API is proposed to be decommissioned by 31 Dec 2020. Since users of the API will need to do some systems development to maintain DOI minting functionality, ARDC welcomes feedback on the feasible timelines. ### **Timeline of activities:** ![https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/hMaVyMekR4G2NZxpTNmjcdIrMVJuBVPlfPmTBIPpEuQAWT6jJGI0O8kO8ODpUJ0BVI5hIqKT5NDT_p3eem4y7BuUzKHTq6z1tz5Yh09iDvrcy7MgTXR1OYjKvRD37gij9qSpP2Oa](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/hMaVyMekR4G2NZxpTNmjcdIrMVJuBVPlfPmTBIPpEuQAWT6jJGI0O8kO8ODpUJ0BVI5hIqKT5NDT_p3eem4y7BuUzKHTq6z1tz5Yh09iDvrcy7MgTXR1OYjKvRD37gij9qSpP2Oa) ## Where can we get more information? * We have developed a [DOI Transition FAQs](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/doi-transition-faqs.md) to assist you with possible questions you may have regarding the transition. * Technical guidance documents are available: * [DOI Service Registration and Transition Workflow](https://ardc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DSS/DOI+Service+Documentation%3A+Registration+and+Transition+Workflow) is also available to guide you in accessing the document(s) relevant to your scenario/requirements. * The [DOI Service](https://ardc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DSS/ARDC+Datacite+DOI+Service+(copied+-+2023-06-20)) page on[](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/display/DOC)[documentation.ardc.edu.au](https://ardc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DSS/ARDC+Datacite+DOI+Service+(copied+-+2023-06-20)) will have more up-to-date DOI documentation on 19May2020. ### DOI Technical Changes webinar We are encouraging our DOI users to attend the DOI Technical changes webinar to learn more about the changes to the DOI Service. * When: **3 June 2020 at 4pm AEST (8am CET)** * Agenda : * Registration: For further assistance, questions and comments, you may send an email to [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au). --- language: "en" --- # DOI Transition FAQs ## General ### What is DataCite Fabrica and DataCite API and why are we transitioning to this service? *** ** * ** *** Recently DataCite launched a new web interface called [Fabrica](https://doi.datacite.org/). DataCite DOI Fabrica serves as a one-stop service for: * DataCite Members to manage their account and repository information * Repositories to manage DOI registration DataCite Fabrica and DataCite APIs offer the same functionality as the ARDC DOI client service built ten years prior to Fabrica. With Fabrica in place, there is a central solution for minting DOIs available to all. Under the circumstances, it is no longer necessary or efficient to provide an alternative method more minting DataCite DOIs.. New clients will use DataCite's Fabrica and/or DataCite API(s) from the start of their sign up to the service. ### With the transition to DataCite Fabrica and/or DataCite API(s), does that mean we will become direct members of DataCite? *** ** * ** *** No. ARDC's DOI clients will not become direct DataCite members as a result of the transition. However, any organisation who wishes to become a direct DataCite member should discuss this option with ARDC. ### What will be ARDC's role in the management of DOIs? *** ** * ** *** The transition to DataCite Fabrica or to DataCite API does not mean we will stop providing a DOI service to the sector. We will continue to: * support 61 repositories (plus new and future repositories) in the Australian network that are registering DOIs through our service; * provide guidance and best practice to the sector in DOI minting and this will continue into the future; * display DOIs in our Research Data Australia service and connect them to other research entities; * serve on the DataCite Board of Directors and the DataCite Community Engagements Steering Group and we continue to work closely with DataCite on initiatives that maximise the use of DOIs to identify, cite and track research data, software, etc.. ## Transition Planning ### How does the transition to DataCite Fabrica and/or DataCite API(s) directly affect us? *** ** * ** *** When we transition, the following changes occur: * DOI client organisations currently using the ARDC online form system for manual minting will be given new login credentials for the Fabrica online form system and become accustomed to the new interface. Support and [support materials](https://support.datacite.org/docs/repositories) are available. * DOI client organisations using the ARDC API will need to update their software and credentials to match the configuration of the new [DataCite REST API](https://support.datacite.org/v1.1/docs/api) or other DataCite API(s). Support and [support materials](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_d5fZrg27zjJvRozAOZsEPT7dEkOVgUGi3Rk-PRKp3k/edit?ts=5eb39682) are available. With this change, all new and existing DOI clients will become member organisations within the consortium. The diagram below demonstrates the changes that will be implemented. ![https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/qILvrN6wAgrKK8B7WhobY4fX7A5q-GnNfnU7Nst2t5u7UmhkZeXF9AZAdxHtM4uogarRZa8BsaA5YaF3KQTXJ1uwA9pkLQ7BxHJVcgMFG0XXPeLevNRzPuYs3PLKAhJF420BldjB=s0](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/qILvrN6wAgrKK8B7WhobY4fX7A5q-GnNfnU7Nst2t5u7UmhkZeXF9AZAdxHtM4uogarRZa8BsaA5YaF3KQTXJ1uwA9pkLQ7BxHJVcgMFG0XXPeLevNRzPuYs3PLKAhJF420BldjB=s0) ### Will the DOI service remain free of charge/cost free when we transition to DataCite? *** ** * ** *** Yes. The DOI Service will remain free of charge to our existing and new DOI clients. The technical changes to the DOI service do not affect the current ARDC funding structure. ARDC, however, will communicate any modifications to our current approach to the sector well in advance of any changes. ### What is the timeframe or deadline to transition to the DataCite service? *** ** * ** *** Migration will commence in May 2020, at which time, the ARDC infrastructure will be ready to support the transition of both our manual and machine to machine minting clients. Once everyone has migrated, we will turn the ARDC DOI services off since Fabrica replicates what we currently offer and DataCite strategy is to have more direct contact with users of their service rather than users go through third parties services such as ours. With DataCite Fabrica online and operational, the timelines for transition are: * ARDC Manual DOI Minting Interface will be decommissioned by 30Sep2020 * ARDC DOI API will be decommissioned by 31Dec2020 We understand that each organisation has its own processes and procedures to consider, therefore, you will schedule your transition at your preferred time within the defined timeline. ARDC will work with you on this. ### What will happen if we did not meet the transition deadline? *** ** * ** *** ARDC will closely work with you during your journey to Fabrica transition. We will aim to complete your transition by the set deadline and provide you support as needed. However, if you believe you don't have the resources available to transition, you have to let us know as soon as possible so that we can work on an implementation strategy that works for both ARDC and your organisation. ### Once we transition to DataCite Fabrica and/or DataCite API, can we still use the ARDC DOI Service for minting DOIs? *** ** * ** *** Once you transition to the new Fabrica system: * your organisation's DOI users will no longer be able to access My DOIs from the RDA Registry * if you mint manually, you will need to login to DataCite Fabrica in order to manually mint or update DOIs * you will need to login to DataCite Fabrica in order to access your repository's registration information and create and manage DOIs. * you will no longer be able to use the ARDC DOI API or ARDC DataCite API for machine-to-machine minting. All DOI minting and updates will have to be through the [DataCite Fabrica API](https://support.datacite.org/v1.1/docs/api) or other DataCite API. This [guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_d5fZrg27zjJvRozAOZsEPT7dEkOVgUGi3Rk-PRKp3k/edit?ts=5eb39682) will help you with the transition. ### Our repository connects through the ARDC DataCite API. How are we going to migrate to the DataCite API? *** ** * ** *** If your repository software (i.e. Dataverse, Pure, Esploro, etc.) has [built-in DataCite integration](https://support.datacite.org/docs/repository-software-integrations) and is currently configured to mint DOIs through the [ARDC DataCite Client API](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/display/DOC/ARDC+DataCite+Client+API), you will need to update your software's DOI settings/configuration with: * the new DataCite API URL (endpoint) * new username. More information about M2M migration is available [here](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/display/DOC/ARDC+DataCite+Client+API). ## After the transition ### If I am having issues or have questions after the transition, who should I contact to report this incident? *** ** * ** *** ARDC will remain as the consortium members' primary contact for the DOI service. All issues, feedback and enquiries shall be sent to [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au) and will be logged, tracked and managed through the ARDC Service Desk management system. ARDC shall be responsible for conducting initial investigation and analysis. DataCite will be consulted by ARDC for any issues that need resolution beyond ARDC's control. You will receive update notifications directly from ARDC and there is no need to contact DataCite directly. ### How can we receive up-to-date information or notifications about DataCite system changes, issues or announcements? *** ** * ** *** As the consortium lead, ARDC will be sending our consortium organisation contacts any outage notifications, Fabrica change or release notes, and issues/incidents as we become aware of them and/or as we confirm there is impact to our consortium members. Any DOI contact within the organisation can, however, subscribe (via email, webhook, twitter or RSS) to the [DataCite status page](http://status.datacite.org/) for any updates on the status of [datacite.org](http://datacite.org/) and all its related services. Outage notifications will be posted on this status page. If you have further questions or clarifications, you can email [services@ardc.edu.au](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/doi-transition-faqs.md). * DataCite Status Page: [http://status.datacite.org](http://status.datacite.org/) * ARDC Technical Change News: ### We have received our DOI Fabrica repository account and password, does this mean the account is shared among all the users within our organisation? Can we request for individual accounts? *** ** * ** *** At this stage, your repository accountID and password is shared among all the users within the organisation's repository members therefore, we strongly recommend that you only distribute the credentials to anyone who has valid business requirements for access. DataCite is currently planning to move towards [individual authentication in Fabrica](https://portal.productboard.com/71qotggkmbccdwzokuudjcsb/c/13-authentication-by-individuals?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share). Once individual authentication is rolled out, every valid user will have their own login account and logging in through the repository account ID will no longer be available. DataCite and ARDC will announce when this functionality becomes available. ### We mint DOIs manually, how will we now mint new DOIs through DataCite Fabrica? *** ** * ** *** When you transition, you are expected to mint, update and manage your DOIs using the DataCite Fabrica system: 1. Your organisation's DOI contact will receive your new Fabrica credentials from ARDC. If you did not receive your credentials, please email [services@ardc.edu.au](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/doi-transition-faqs.md). Your test () and production () Fabrica accounts are the same. Keep in mind that DataCite' test system is completely separate from production. 2. It is recommended that you test your access and familiarise yourself with the new Fabrica interface in Test Fabrica. The links below will guide you in how to use DataCite Fabrica: ### Can we change our organisation name and or our repository name in Fabrica? *** ** * ** *** The way the DataCite Fabrica system currently works is that there is no way to edit or update the organisation name or repository ID once it's created. If there is a valid business need to change the organisation member ID and/or repository ID, the only way to do this is by creating a new repository under a new consortium organisation. DataCite would then transfer the DOIs and prefix from the old repository to the newly created account. You, however, can change your repository name when you are logged in to Fabrica. ### We used to receive a quarterly DOI broken link report from ARDC. Are we getting something similar from DataCite? *** ** * ** *** DataCite has a [link checker service](https://support.datacite.org/docs/link-checker) that periodically checks a random sampling of DOIs to verify that they still resolve to a valid URL and to gather other useful information about the metadata for DOIs registered with DataCite. The link checker service runs automatically in the background, so there is nothing Members need to do and nothing they need to enable in order to benefit from the service. The results of the link checker are displayed in [DOI Fabrica](https://doi.datacite.org/) at the bottom of each DOI record that has been checked. Below is an example of a link checker result for one of the DOIs minted by ARDC: ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Rm8yhlt8Kp5vj3AmYVvEzSUjESKVk5JOPEBgDHzOA2AfWV4yVtEivddugL7WrbMAdZDkTJOVHTFpp2JTL7Y24i_W1Z9AqsIw4g3bZPxStvvViQr2g8FJhoCRC4mIciCzt1wcs0k_=s0](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Rm8yhlt8Kp5vj3AmYVvEzSUjESKVk5JOPEBgDHzOA2AfWV4yVtEivddugL7WrbMAdZDkTJOVHTFpp2JTL7Y24i_W1Z9AqsIw4g3bZPxStvvViQr2g8FJhoCRC4mIciCzt1wcs0k_=s0) --- language: "en" --- # Final stage: Migration of ARDC Online Services Demo environment As communicated last week, the ARDC is in the process of migrating many of the services in the **Demonstration** environment to a new host. The first phase of the migration was successfully completed yesterday. The last phase of the migration is scheduled for implementation over the next week. This phase will see all services in the **Demonstration** environment, except RVA, moved to a new host. RVA will remain on the existing Demonstration environment host and has been allocated a new URL (). For the time being, all non-RVA services will continue to operate under the demo.ands.org.au domain. The switch to the new host for all non-RVA services is scheduled for 22 January 2020. This switch will be done at the DNS level and should be invisible to end users. While no downtime is necessary during this phase of the migration, some users may be affected by the impacts identified below. ## **Impacts** ### **Research Data Australia (RDA)** #### **Change:** New IP address for the Demo RDA Harvester (130.56.60.63) * **Who is affected:** Data Source Administrators (DSAs) who control harvesting from their repository with an a IP whitelist. * **Action required:**If you currently or intend to harvest into the Demo RDA environment, you will need to add the new IP address for the Demo RDA Harvester to your whitelist. * **Impact** **:**(low) The Demo RDA Harvester will be unable to harvest records from your repository until you add the new IP address. ### **Research Vocabularies Australia (RVA)** **Change:** New URL for Demo RVA () * **Who is affected:** Demo RVA users * **Action required:**The new Demo RVA URL is ready for use and we encourage all users to transition to the new URL at the earliest convenience. Users should update any Demo RVA URLs to the new URL (e.g. documentation, bookmarks, code, etc). * **Impact** **:**(low) Temporary redirects will be put in place for the next 6 months to ensure that the old Demo RVA URLs continue to work. The access point URLs as displayed/linked on Portal vocabulary view pages will be updated in the coming days. Users may notice that they continue to point to the demo.ands.org.au domain while this is occurring. Both domains will be supported and this transition should have no impact on end users. As mentioned above, this stage of the migration only affects the **Demonstration** environment. No changes are being made to the Production environment at this point in time. If you have any questions or concerns please contact [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au). Thank you for your support. --- language: "en" --- # Final Stage: Online Services Production Migration As previously communicated, the ARDC is in the process of migrating many of the services in the **Production** environment to a new host. The first phase of the migration was successfully completed last week. The last phase of the migration is scheduled for implementation on the **2 March 2020** . This phase will see all services in the **Production** environment, except Research Vocabularies Australia (RVA), moved to a new host. The switch to the new host will be carried out at the DNS level and should be invisible to end users. While no downtime is necessary during this phase of the migration, some users may be affected by the impact identified below. **Impact and Requirements:** **Research Data Australia** **Change:** New IP address for the Production RDA Harvester (**130.56.60.46**) * **Who is affected:** Data Source Administrators (DSAs) who control harvesting from their repository with an IP whitelist. * **Action required:** If you currently or intend to harvest into the Production RDA environment, you will need to add the new IP address **(130.56.60.46)**for the Production RDA Harvester to your whitelist. * **Impact** **:** **(**low) The Production RDA Harvester will be unable to harvest records from your repository until you add the new IP address. As mentioned above, this stage of the migration only affects non-RVA services in the **Production** environment.

Over the next 12 months, the ARDC is planning to migrate its Online Services to new host infrastructure. The migration is part of a project to automate and streamline the configuration and management of the environments which host ARDC Online Services. The project aims to eliminate inconsistencies across environments, refresh infrastructure and ensure the ARDC can continue to provide reliable and robust national services into the future. While the ARDC will make every effort to minimise downtime and impact on our users, some downtime will be necessary. The first stage of the migration is scheduled for**Thursday, 16 January 2020, between 8am and 12pm AEDT.** This will seethe databases underpinning many of the services in the **Demonstration** environment moved to a new host. Apart from some necessary downtime, the first stage of the migration should not have any other impacts on our users. During this stage of the migration the following **Demonstration** environment services will be intermittently unavailable: * Research Data Australia (RDA) portal and RDA Registry * Research Vocabularies Australia (RVA) portal * Handle service * IGSN service Please note this stage of the migration only affects the **Demonstration** environment. No changes are being made to the Production environment at this point in time. Communications for additional stages of the migration will be sent as required. Please schedule your activities accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns please contact [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au). Thank you for your support. --- language: "en" --- # First stage: Online Services Production migration Following on from the successful migration of the services in the Demonstration environment, we are now focusing on the migration of all non-RVA services in the **Production** environment. The first stage of the migration is scheduled to begin on the**18 February 2020.** This will seethe databases underpinning many of the services in the **Production** environment being replicated onto the new host infrastructure. This process will be carried out over several days and will not require any significant downtime. While all services in the **Production** environment++will remain available during this stage of the migration, some services will require a quick restart++ following the replication and users may notice a very brief interruption in service availability. We will aim to perform these restarts when there is limited to no server activity to reduce the risk of impact to end users. Please note, this stage of the migration only affects the **Production** environment. No changes are being made to the Demonstration environment. Communications for additional stages of the migration will be sent as required. If you have any questions or concerns please contact [services@ardc.edu.au](mailto:services@ardc.edu.au).

No matter which API you select to implement, code changes are more than likely required. This is due to the DataCite APIs having different request messages, responses and error codes to the ARDC APIs. Below is a brief overview of the main APIs that DataCite provides to create and manage DOIs. Please refer to the linked DataCite documentation for more detail. Once you have reviewed the available DataCite APIs, if you are still unsure on which API to use or how to implement it, please contact [services@ardc.edu.au](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/guidance-for-clients-transitioning-from-ardc-apis-.md) and we can assist you. ### DataCite REST API () * The DataCite REST API is under active development and underpins much of the functionality in the DataCite Fabrica application. * The API follows the [JSONAPI](http://jsonapi.org/) specification and operates solely on a content type of JSON. * The API allows users to mint DOIs with a single request by passing the DOI metadata and URL encoded as a JSON object. * DOI suffixes can either be chosen by the client or auto generated. API Guide: Interactive API documentation: Example implementations: * ### DataCite MDS API ([https://mds.datacite.org](https://mds.datacite.org/)) * The MDS API is being maintained but is no longer actively developed. DataCite have, however, indicated that they will support this API for the foreseeable future. * The API supports minting DOIs with DataCite metadata encoded as XML, which some clients may find easier to work with. * Besides not being actively developed, one of the drawbacks in using the MDS API, is that in order to mint a DOI, two requests must be made. One to register the metadata, and one to mint the DOI with the associated URL. * DOI suffixes can either be chosen by the client or auto generated. API Guide: Interactive API documentation: Examples implementations: * * ### Clients transitioning from the [ARDC DataCite Client API](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/display/DOC/ARDC+DataCite+Client+API) Endpoint: [https://researchdata.edu.au/api/doi/datacite](https://researchdata.edu.au/api/doi/datacite/) The transition to DataCite services for clients using the ARDC DataCite Client API with 3rd party repository software (e.g. Dataverse) will be straightforward. In most cases it will require configuring a different API URL and User Name. It is also likely that a new Test DOI prefix will need to be configured in your test systems. Note that many applications are likely to only support the DataCite MDS API. If you are unsure which DataCite API URL to configure, please refer to the configuration manual or consult with technical support for your application. DataCite also provides some information for[Software Repository integrations](https://support.datacite.org/docs/repository-software-integrations). Upon indicating your intentions to transition to DataCite services, the ARDC will provide you with your new User Name and new Test prefix if required. --- language: "en" --- # Guidance for clients transitioning from MyDOIs to DataCite Fabrica DataCite DOI Fabrica serves is a one-stop service for ARDC consortium organisation members for: * Accessing and managing the organisation's repository information * Minting new DOIs using the Fabrica interface * Updating and managing DOIs and their associated metadata * Reviewing the results of the link checker for each DOI record that has been checked Important Note: By implementation, organisations are given repository access level only. Any changes to the organisation information and any addition of a new repository under an organisation will have to be reviewed and approved by ARDC. ## Transition Procedure: 1. Discuss your transition plan within your organisation. 2. When you are ready to transition to the Datacite Fabrica, contact [services@ardc.edu.au](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/guidance-for-clients-transitioning-from-mydois-to-.md) and advise ARDC of your preferred transition date. 3. ARDC will send your organisation's Fabrica credentials to your DOI contact. 4. DOI contact: Distribute the account ID and password to all authorised DOI service users within your organisation. Please bear in mind that this is a shared account therefore, care should be taken into consideration when distributing this account. 5. Test your access in both test and production Fabrica. Make sure that you are able to see your [Repository Dashboard](https://support.datacite.org/docs/fabrica-client-dashboard) when logged in. 6. You should be ready to create and manage your DOIs now. ## Accessing DataCite Fabrica: ### Requirements: * Repository account ID * Password #### Login procedure 1. Go to 2. Click on the upper right hand corner of the screen and enter your account ID and password 3. Once logged in, you will be presented with your [Repository Dashboard](https://support.datacite.org/docs/fabrica-client-dashboard) which gives you: * the account information overview which includes the name of the Repository and the total number of DOIs. * repository settings * the prefix(es) assigned to your repository * list of all DOIs minted by the repository ## Managing DOIs The requirements for minting DOIs have not changed as a result transitioning to DataCite Fabrica. Organisations are still required to provide the minimum metadata requirements to mint a DOI: * URL - The URL for the landing page of the dataset. * Title - A name or title by which a resource is known. * Creators - The main researchers involved in producing the data, or the authors of the publication, in priority order. * Publisher - The holder of the data (including archives as appropriate) or institution that submitted the work. * Publication Year - The year when the data was or will be made publicly available. * ResourceType (with mandatory general type description sub property) - A description of the resource. There are 2 ways to mint a DOI: * [Via form:](https://support.datacite.org/docs/create-a-doi-via-form) Refer to [Field descriptions for form](https://support.datacite.org/docs/field-descriptions-for-form) for more information on the required or expected values for each field in the form * [Via file upload](https://support.datacite.org/docs/fabrica-create-doi-file-upload): Refer to [Field descriptions for file upload](https://support.datacite.org/docs/fields-file-upload) for more information on the required or expected values for each field in the file upload window Manage your DOIs * [Update a DOI](https://support.datacite.org/docs/fabrica-update-doi): change your DOI metadata, including the URL; change the state of a DOI from Findable (equivalent to Active status) to Registered (equivalent to Inactive status); * [Delete a draft DOI](https://support.datacite.org/docs/fabrica-delete-doi): draft DOIs have not been registered to the global handle system therefore these DOIs only exist at DataCite Fabrica and can be deleted. * [DOI states explained](https://support.datacite.org/docs/doi-states): understand the 3 DOI states: Draft, Registered and Findable ## Support For assistance, please email [services@ardc.edu.au](https://documentation.ardc.edu.au/updates/guidance-for-clients-transitioning-from-mydois-to-.md) or contact your ARDC Outreach Officer. --- language: "en" --- # Harvester ## version 2.0.4 Version release date: |---------------------------------------------------| | * Demo 10 September 2023 * Prod 17 September 2023 | ### Summary: #### Enhancements: * Datacite Harvest method amended to use the Datacite "detail=true" parameter ## version 2.0.3 Version release date: |-------------------------------------------| | * Demo 1 August 2023 * Prod 8 August 2023 | ### Summary: #### Enhancements: * Harvester to send status messages to Slack channel ## version 2.0.2 Version release date: |---------------------------------------| | * Demo 23 May 2023 * Prod 30 May 2023 | ### Summary: #### Enhancements: * Harvester won't halt a harvest if unable to remove the content of previous harvests * Added a log to show the XSLT command to help debug crosswalk issues ## version 2.0.1 |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | Version release date: * Demo 11 April 2023 * Prod 18 April 2023 | ### Summary: Addition of a DataCite query harvester. *** ** * ** *** ## version 2.0.0 |----------------------------------------------| | Initial version release date: * 4 April 2023 | ### Summary: Initial release of the ARDC versioning standard.
