See RT #171127

We already have a DataCite account and use DOIs for our articles,
published
via the OJS system (http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/).
Is there any possibility to register DOIs within DataVerse directly with
DataCite? Or would we really have to pay for
an extra mediator service (EZID)?

Merce sent a follow up email on 12/5:

Kevin - in case we don't have a ticket for this, could you enter in redmine to support the DataCite API.

Gustavo, Steve, if this is only a small change from the EZID API, we should include it for 4.0.

Merce sent an email which is useful and important for when we reimplement DOI's for 4.0:

Betreff: [DOI-RATech] The Which RA Service

We have deployed a service on dx.doi.org to quickly provide the registration
agency responsible for a DOI.

Append the DOI name to "http://dx.doi.org/doiRA/". A resolution (HTTP GET)
of that URL will return a bit of JSON specifying the RA.

Example: http://dx.doi.org/doiRA/10.5240/B1FA-0EEC-C316-3316-3A73-L

You can use commas to find multiple results in one request:
http://dx.doi.org/doiRA/10.1594/PANGAEA.57055,10.1037/0003-066X.59.1.29,10.5
555/test,10.1002/doidoesnotexist

This is based on the service already offered by CrossRef at
doi.crossref.org, and described here:
http://www.crossref.org/crweblog/2013/05/find_the_registration_agency_f.html

Best,
Robert
