To get an MDOI, you simply create an account, access your dashboard, deposit an item with its metadata, and the system automatically assigns a unique identifier instantly.
Immediately after submission, the system generates a unique MDOI, assigns a verification badge, and links the item to its metadata record.
Yes, users can update metadata at any time through their dashboard without affecting the validity of the identifier.
No, the identifier remains unchanged. The system simply updates the associated metadata to reflect the new location.
Metadata provides structured information about the object, enabling discovery, citation, governance, and long-term usability.
When an MDOI is accessed, the system resolves it by directing users to the metadata record and, where applicable, the current location of the object.
