A new DataCite Content Resolver

Published by Ed Zukowski on 15 May 2012 - 4:47pm

In September 2011 we announced the alpha version of DataCite's Content Resolver. Today, we are pleased to present a new version. This beta release is prepared in close collaboration with CrossRef. We think it is very important that the two largest DOI Registration Agencies work together in order to provide metadata services to DOI names. The service can be accessed at http://data.datacite.org.

DOI resolution issue fixed

Published by Sebastian Peters on 17 February 2012 - 11:52am

The DOI resolution problem seems to be fixed as of 2012-02-15 23:38 UTC.

All servers are in sync and therefore all DOIs are reliable resolvable again. This is especially true for the DOI registered since February 2nd, which have been affected by this issue. There have been no data loss!

We apologize for any inconvenience.

DOI resolution issue

Published by Sebastian Peters on 15 February 2012 - 10:32am

Currently some DataCite DOIs do not correctly resolve. This applies to almost all DOIs minted since 2012-02-02. So roughly 1000 DOIs or 0.08% of all DataCite DOIs are affected.

As far as we know this only affects DOI resolution but not registration. There will be no need to register those DOI again.

Engineers are currently working on the problem.
