Features include: • Project references can now be assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). • Core Tab metadata for DataStore reference with an NPS DOI are synchronized with DataCite or CrossRef each time a reference is activated. This allows for reference owners to edit Core tab metadata even after activation. • Data Package reference EML extraction populates categorical data variables.

EML files previously extracted were scanned and the categorical data variables are populated, allowing for display of all data package categorical data. • Enhanced the stability of the ‘Add NPS Individual’ contact lookup functionality. • Expanded references that can be versioned to published reports. • Science Report Series link is available on the NPS DataStore landing page.

In addition, the Lifecycle PUT rest/Reference/{referenceId}/Lifecycle/Active endpoint will synch core tab metadata changes for references with the ‘Reserve NPS DOI’ option. • Minor usability changes were made to improve the readability of some of the NPS DataStore pages. • Our support email address is NRSS_DataStore@nps.gov.
