Release Notes

Submission Frontend
To support the new data submission workflow the according submission form is online including the Jira frontend and the 4D editorial system. All submitted metadata are compiled in the ‘metadata.json’ that is attached to the corresponding ticket. The json file is also the source when transferring metadata to our 4D editorial system.

For the metadata that are transferred to 4D now the specification of a memorandum can be set. If the data provider checks ‘moratorium until a related article is published’ and no data is given, 4D by default will set the date to 6 months ahead of the time of data submission. In any case a corresponding internal comment is left.

Furtheron, transfer of metadata includes the authors specification. To improve the overall efficiency in case an author is unknown to PANGAEA the option to insert a new record is given. The same procedure was implemented for awards and it is planned for projects once the autocomplete for projects on the data submission frontend works properly.

Upcoming Features
With the current data submission workflow it is not possible to edit data submissions. This is subject of our current developments and it is planned to ship it within the next release during the next months.
