Challenge-F2/F3-Metadata #67

Description

@selgebali

The challenge below is taken from the Sprint GoogleDoc.

Activity suggestion:

Pick an article using Crossref API to view the metadata (e.g. http://api.crossref.org/v1/works/10.1371/journal.pone.0237703).
Alternative: Check the metadata of a Zenodo Record (which uses DataCite).

How could we improve the metadata?

Solution:

  • Adding PIDs (ORCID iDs) to all authors, contributors and editors.
  • Adding PIDs (ROR) to populate affiliation data
  • Adding PIDs (DOIs, handles, URNs...) (or permalinks if no PID is minted) to all cited works.
  • Indicate the citation relationship (e.g. "cites")

Trick: To visualize more clearly the JSON results of Crossref API in the browser, use a browser extension such as JSONview

Is anyone interested in expanding on these exercises and reviewing them? You could also add them to the main lesson under Findable. Don't forget to add the solution to the lesson.

Don't forget to check out the comments in the google doc.
