django-datacite

A Django app to properly model the DataCite Metadata Schema in a relational database, with full integration into the Django admin interface. The app is slightly opinionated in a way to make it better usable as a DOI registration database. Names (creators and contributors) and identifiers (for the resources, but also for alternativeIdentifiers and relatedIdentifiers) are stored in separate database tables and can be reused for different resources.

This app provides a set of models, admin classes, views, and utility functions to export and import DataCite files. All options and default settings can be customized in the Django settings using the same syntax as in django_datacite/settings.py. Identifiers have an additional citation field to store the human readable citation for reuse in other tools.

For a reference integration into a Django project see: https://github.com/ISI-MIP/isimip-doi.

Although it should cover DataCite 4.3 completely, it is still quite fresh and should be used with care.
