Challenge-F2/F3-Metadata

[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
