Action for Generating DOI Cipher Codes

DOI = Digital Object Identifier, worldwide definite character code for identifying a scientific publication, consists of a code sequence defined by convention with which the suffix is given unambiguously for each publication by the information provider. The action progressively generates definite numerics and identifies doublings caused by false manual declaration. Beyond this the action allows the output of a DOI-Batch-File (XML) for updating the publication meta data with DOI-Registrar.

Installation: Import into menu Configuration / Actions.
Following adaptions are necessary:
DOI_Identifier = 10 (defined for DOI namespace)
DOI_Prefix = code number of the publisher (is assigned officially)
DOI_Suffix_PubName = arbitrary identification code of publication
DOI_Suffix_Start = start of the numeric space
DOI_Suffix_End = end of the numeric space
Cave: if needed the code segment must be adapted to the own meta attributes for the output of the DOI Batch.

Via the action list an unambiguous cypher can be created for the dedicated objects (e.g. of a folder) acc. to the DOI syntax. The DOI Batch can be limited to a certain period of time (creation dates).
