Subject: [Wg-digitaldata] New DataCite metadata schema version

All,

The new metadata schema version 2.2 is online.  It is still possible to use version 2.1, but please announce the new version to your datacenters.

All versions' documentations, XSD and XML samples can be accessed via http://schema.datacite.org. You may directly access the new version through http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-2.2/index.html.

The following updates were made:
	* Addition of "URL" to list of allowed values for relatedIdentifierType.
	* Addition of the following values to list of allowed values for contributorType: Producer, Distributor, RelatedPerson, Supervisor, Sponsor, Funder, RightsHolder.
	* Addition of "SeriesInformation" to list of allowed values for descriptionType.
	* Addition of "Model" to list of allowed values for resourceTypeGeneral.
	* Provision of more examples of xml for different types of objects.
	* Explanation of the PublicationYear property in consideration of the requirements of citation.
	* A change to the definition of the Publication property, which now reads, "The name of the entity that holds, archives, publishes, prints, distributes, releases, issues, or produces the resource. This property will be used to formulate the citation, so consider the prominence of the role."

Regards
Frauke
