How do I update my DOIs to metadata schema version 4 with the DataCite REST API?
To update DOIs from an older version to schema 4 with the REST API you should specify an explicit update to version 4 for your DOIs using the attribute field "schemaVersion".
Example:
{
"data": {
"id": "10.0138/1f84-ta02",
"type": "dois",
"attributes": {
"doi": "10.0138/1f84-ta02",
"schemaVersion": "http://datacite.org/schema/kernel-4"
}
}
}
Remember that the existing DOI metadata, and any updates, must be compatible with schema 4 as outlined in the DataCite metadata schema documentation.
