DOIs look like 10.5281/zenodo.3509134 (Zenodo) or 10.5061/dryad.xxxx (Dryad). Data from DataCite (CC0 metadata). Distinct from journal-article DOI indexes (Crossref) — this is the registry of research data & software DOIs. Ideal for research-data discovery, citation, repository and reproducibility tooling.",
