DOIs on BDC

A digital object identifier (DOI) is a persistent identifier or handle used to identify objects uniquely, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In BDC, DOIs have been created and made available at the dataset level to assign a persistent identifier in a standard format. The DOIs are available via the Gen3 discovery page as well as the API. DataCite was used as the registration service. Going forward, every BDC dataset will have a DOI minted as part of the data ingestion process. For a user, having assigned DOIs to datasets will promote research reproducibility and data FAIR-ness.
