A web based wizard for creating the XML metadata required by DataCite when registering a data DOI.

DataCite-Metadata-Creator-Django

Note that this is an unfinished prototype that may never be completed. It may still be useful creating the metadata XML file required for registering a data DOI with DataCite http://datacite.org. This tool does not send any data to DataCite.

Requirements

• Django 1.5
• SQLite 3

Setup

• cd datadoi
• Now generate a SECRET_KEY at http://www.miniwebtool.com/django-secret-key-generator/ or elsewhere and change it in datadoi/settings.py.
• ./manage.py syncdb ## This will ask you to set a name and password for an admin user. You will need these credentials later on!
• ./manage.py runserver ## Or, if this Django app should be accessible to everyone on your network, say ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Usage

• Open http://0.0.0.0:8000/ in a web browser.
• Click “Register a new dataset” and enter the credentials you set in the syncdb step.
• Click the “+ Add” beside “Resources: Enter new datasets here”.
• Fill in the forms, and click “Save”!
• To download or preview the XML you generated, visit http://0.0.0.0:8000/queue/
