The IGSN Metadata page displays the Portal allows users to view the descriptive metadata associated with an IGSN. When you're logged into the system and you own the IGSN being viewed you will also be able to access an 'Edit' button to make changes to the IGSN.
When manually minting IGSNs via the GUI, the URL associated with your IGSNs will automatically be set to the URL for the IGSN Metadata page in the ARDC IGSN service.
| Note |
|---|
Note that if you have set your IGSN metadata to 'private' or it is still under an embargo period the metadata page will not be viewable by other users. |
All IGSNs minted through the ARDC IGSN service, regardless of the IGSN landing page URL, can be viewed in the ARDC IGSN Portal.
| Note |
|---|
IGSNs with private metadata or metadata that is still under embargo are only visible in the Portal by authorised users (the user owns the IGSN or has access to it through group membership). Users will need to authenticate to view the metadata associated with these private IGSNs. |
IGSN Landing Pages
The IGSN Portal pages can be used as the landing page URL for the IGSNs that you mint. When minting via the API, set the value of the landing page element in the descriptive metadata to
"https://identifiers.ardc.edu.au/igsn-portal/view/10273/<IGSN value>"
Or for the Test environment
"https://test.identifiers.ardc.edu.au/igsn-portal/view/20.500.11812/<IGSN value>"
E.g. <landingPage>https://identifiers.ardc.edu.au/igsn-portal/view/20.500.11812/XXZT1TESTJA3</landingPage>
| Info |
|---|
When manually minting through the IGSN Service Web Interface, the form will automatically be populated with an ARDC IGSN Portal landing page URL for the IGSN. This may be changed to a landing page URL of your choice. |
Accessing the IGSN Editor
When logged into the system and you own or have access to the IGSN through your group membership, you will see an 'Edit this record' button displayed below the IGSN identifier value. Click the button to navigate to the IGSN Editor.
