datacite-metadata-generator

This is a single HTML form which can be used to generate DataCite Metadata Kernel 4.1 XML. Metadata is generated by populating text boxes and selecting values from drop-downs. The results can then be saved to a file.

How to use:

Live version of the metadata generator

• Download datacite-metadata-generator.html.
• Open using a browser (Firefox/Chrome/Opera recommended, or IE8+).
• Start creating metadata.
• Use 'Select All' button to copy and paste results or 'Ready to Save' button to save results to a file.

Uses:

• HTML5
• CSS3
• JQuery 1.9.1

Notes:

• Currently the 'save to file' feature does not work in Internet Explorer or Safari.
• The form does not perform any XML validation or validation against the DataCite schema.

To Do:

• Enable 'save to file' feature in Internet Explorer and Safari.
• XML and schema validation options.
• Try to integrate schema documentation to add context to input fields.
