Updating the DOI URL from the XML file received after submitting via the web form

Content Registration XML Deposit

Hello,

I would like to update the URL of a DOI by reusing the XML file I received after submitting via the web form. I’ve noted the need to change the “timestamp” (it is done). But should I also modify the “registrant” field, which indicates “WEB-FORM”? If so, how should I modify it?

Next, what should I choose in the admin tool > Upload > Metadata or Query or DOI Query ?

I tested the file with only the timestamp field modified by choosing successively Metadata / Query / DOI Query, but it didn’t work : the URL remains unchanged.

Thanks for your help !

Hi!

You don’t need to modify “registrant” field.

And you should choose in the admin tool > Upload > Metadata.

You can also update URLs without re-submitting the XML using the process below for self-service bulk resolution URL updates (using a simple .txt upload):

  1. Create a tab-separated list (formatted as a text (.txt) file) of DOIs and their new URLs, and apply the following header:
H: email=youremail@email.com;fromPrefix=10.xxxx

where youremail@email.com is your email address and 10.xxxx is the owner prefix (this should be the prefix associated with the username you’ll be processing this request with) for the DOIs you’re updating.

Only DOIs of the same owning prefix may be updated together using this header. For example, if you have DOIs against two owning prefixes, you’ll need to separate your submissions and use the appropriate 10.xxxx prefix for each set of your DOIs.

This is what your tab-separated (not spaces) list should look like:

H: email=youremail@email.com;fromPrefix=10.5555
10.5555/doi1   http://www.yourdomain.com/newurl1
10.5555/doi2   http://www.yourdomain.com/newurl2
10.5555/doi3   http://www.yourdomain.com/newurl3
  1. You can upload the file to the admin tool or use the upload tool. To use the admin tool, login and navigate to Submissions>Upload. Upload your file, choose Bulk URL Update as the Type, and click Upload.

I hope it helps,

Thank you for confirming the admin tool > Upload > Metadata path !
I knew it was possible to create a specific table with the ‘bulk URL Update’ option, but updating the XML seemed quicker.

On the other hand, I was too impatient: the URL hadn’t yet been updated when I checked, and the change took effect shortly afterwards. So everything’s sorted. That’s noted for the “registrant” field: there’s no need to change it.

Thank you and have a nice day !
