Repository Settings
Repositories can update their settings. Members can also update the settings of their respective Repositories.
To modify the Repository settings, go to the Settings tab in the Repository dashboard. Members will first need to select the Repository from their list of Repositories in order to view the appropriate Repository dashboard. Click the Update Repository button on the top left.
Enter any changes in the appropriate fields and click Save at the bottom of the page. Note: The Repository ID is fixed at time of Repository creation and cannot be changed.
Field descriptions for Repository Settings:
Repository ID
The Repository ID is a unique identifier for each Repository. It must contain uppercase letters or numbers and be of the form MEMBER.REPOSITORY, where MEMBER is the MEMBER ID of the parent organization and REPOSITORY is replaced by a short string representing the Repository.
Note: The Repository ID can't be modified.
Example of Repository ID
VFRU.ZZSX19
Member ID = VFRU
Repository = ZZSX19
Type
The Type field refers to the platform where the content will be shared and is automatically designated as "Repository".
- Select "Periodical" from the drop-down menu if the DOIs registered will be assigned to publications and journals.
- Select "IGSN ID Catalog" from the drop-down menu if the the DOIs registered will be IGSN IDs assigned to material samples and features-of-interest.
- Select âRAiD Registryâ only if you are a RAiD Registration Agency (RA) and will be registering DOIs with the RAiD Service. Read more about RAiD.
Repositories with an IGSN ID Catalog Type cannot change Types after creation. Repositories with a Repository or Periodical Type cannot change to the IGSN ID Catalog Type after creation.
re3data Record
Link to the corresponding record in the re3data registry of research data repositories. This field is optional.
Link to your re3data record
Linking the re3data identifier automatically displays a number of fields from re3data without needing to store that information a second time in Fabrica. In the case of disciplinary repositories, the Repository Discipline field will be automatically populated.
Repository Name
Full name of the Repository. This is typically the name of the organization, as the organization wants it displayed. For example, "Archaeology Data Service".
An Alternate Repository Name can be included if appropriate.
System Email
This email address receives reset password requests.
Service Contact
This is the name of the person responsible for the account. This person is considered to be the primary contact for any necessary DataCite or system communications.
Description
Add an optional description of the repository here.
URL
The homepage of the repository.
Language
Select the language of the repository from the dropdown list.
Software
Select the software used by the Repository from the dropdown list.
Domains
By default a DOI can point to any URL, indicated by an asterix * in the domain settings.
To limit the list of domains that can be used to register URLs for a DOI, enter one or more domains or subdomains, separated by a comma (no whitespace) e.g. datacite.org,example.org. You can use an asterisk to allow any subdomain (e.g., "*.example.org"). Make sure you are entering only the hostname, not a full URL starting with "http" or "https". Also keep in mind the "www" is a subdomain.
Repository type
Add the type of Repository (e.g. Institutional, Disciplinary).
Repository Discipline
This field will only appear if the Repository Type "Disciplinary" has been selected. Add the discipline of the repository using the look-up from the OECD Fields of Science.
The Repository Discipline
The Repository Discipline field is used to enrich DOI metadata. This does not modify DOI metadata but is used to enhance search queries, so if the Repository Discipline is Biology, DOIs registered by the repository will be captured by queries for the subject "Biology" in the Graph QL API and DataCite Commons. This feature is only for disciplinary repositories.
Certificate
The certificate held by the Repository (e.g., CoreTrustSeal). More information about certificates can be found here: RDA/WDS Certification of Digital Repositories IG.
Account is active check box
If the box is checked the account is active and can register DOIs. If the box is unchecked the account is "Inactive" and can no longer register DOIs.
