Extended Title: An Investigation into the integration of Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and Data Upload Service for use in Data Intensive Research in South Africa (DIRISA).
Abstract: The use of Digital Object Identifiers has become an increasingly important topic within the research and data space. This is mainly due to the fact that researchers want their data to be easily findable, accessible and searchable. The Data Intensive Research Initiative of South Africa (DIRISA) has realised this need and is creating a system that can allow researchers to mint their own identifiers based on handle.net system. These identifiers can be referred to as Digital Object Identifiers (DOI’s). However, in order to mint identifiers the researchers need to upload data and provide metadata.
