Topcat DOI Plugin

Allows your Topcat users to make data public via minting DOIs for any combination of investigations, datasets or datafiles.

Installation

This follows same standard Icat stack installation procedures. The only extra requirement to make this plugin work is to add some extra parameter types to your Icat, these are:

{
	"name"" title",
	"valueType": "STRING",
	"units": "title",
	"applicableToDataCollection": true,
	"facility": {"id": facility_id}
}

{
	"name": "releaseDate",
	"valueType": "DATE_AND_TIME",
	"units": "releaseDate",
	"applicableToDataCollection": true,
	"facility": {"id": facility_id}
}

{
    "name": "mintedBy",
    "valueType": "STRING",
    "units": "mintedBy",
    "applicableToDataCollection": true,
    "facility": {"id": facility_id}
}

You will also need to add the following to topcat.json:

plugins"" [
    "https://topcat-dev.isis.stfc.ac.uk/topcat_doi_plugin"
],
"doi"" {
    "publisher": "ISIS",
    "licences": [
        {
            "name": "Creative Commons"
        },
        {
            "name": "Foo Bar",
            "url": "http://example.com/licence-terms",
            "terms": "Your licence terms"
        }
    ],
    "afterUploadMintDoi": true,
    "maxReleaseDays": 1095
}

Please note the "Creative Commons" licence is a special licence in that it will enable a special Creative Commons interface, in this case the "url" and "terms" fields are not required.
