Context

Do Not Confuse With

• d:creator (Use creator for primary responsibility, i.e authorship)
• d:contributor (Use contributor in cases of lesser responsibility)
• d:publisher (Use publisher for organisations e.g. when the nature of responsibility is ambiguous)

DataCite v4.3 Differentiation

• fundingReference_ is mandatory if applicable in OpenAIRE instead of optional in DataCite.
• funderIdentifier is mandatory if applicable in OpenAIRE instead of optional in DataCite.
• funderIdentifier can occur 0-n times in OpenAIRE instead of 0-1 times in DataCite.
• funderIdentifierType allows more types in OpenAIRE than in DataCite.
• awardNumber is mandatory in OpenAIRE instead of optional for DataCite.

OpenAIRE Data Guidelines v Differentiation

• Following DataCite v3, the former OpenAIRE Data Guidelines used contributor (with contributorType Funder) to indicate funding information.
• The formerly applied info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/[Funder]/[FundingProgram]/[ProjectID]/[Jurisdiction]/[ProjectName]/[ProjectAcronym] notation is replaced by the detailed DataCite properties.
