The following use case has come up for Thoth.

A book publication is orginated on GitHub, with publication releases being triggered by Git Version Releases.

The publishers uses DOIs and metadata to describe the pulication.

The publisher wants to mint a related sub DOI and new metadata when a new release is made.

The publisher wants to automate this process.

Questions for Thoth:

  1. Does Thoth have 'version releases' of publications?
  2. Could Thoth allow for the duplication of version 1 release of a book entry as version 2, then allow for editing of version 2 for the entry to be updated and have a new DOI added?
  3. Could Thoth automatically distribute the metadata to GitHub to be associated with a Github release?

Notes:

  • CrossRef have a system for gving notifications on older releases at the DOI endpoint if a new release or retraction has been made.
  • Zenodo does GitHub version release DOI issueing connected to GitHub via an API and allows for version release sub DOI version releases, all automated.
  • Is the above something better handled via DOI systems?
