Entity id's and FAIR metadata

Open gothub opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

The metadata editor assigns a URN to <otherEntity> entries for example for https://arcticdata.io/metacat/d1/mn/v2/object/doi:10.18739/A2027H there is the entry:

<otherEntity id="urn:uuid:7098ba54-ca6f-4e35-beb3-718bd0fe58a8" scope="document">

The URN shown here is a DataONE identifier, however the scope is set to document, not system.

To make the metadata more compliant with the identifier FAIR Guideline, would it be possible to assign the scope attribute to system and the system attribute to the respective repository, as is done for packageId in the root element:

packageId="doi:10.18739/A2027H" system="https://arcticdata.io"

And, could this be done for all entity types, not just otherEntity?

Sure, this makes sense to me.

If possible, the system should be set to a meaningful value such as the authoritative MN, as shown above. The LTER EML Best Practices document states:

The scope attribute can have one of two values, “system” or “document”. It is preferred that when the scope is set to “system”, that the system attribute defines the ID-system, the id attribute content is (presumably) from that system

For ID system, we should be pointing at the global authority for those ids, such as https://DOI.org
