    Dear all,
    Happy to forward the announcement about DataCite’s new schema release.
    https://doi.org/10.5438/jvkk-8198
    “Schema 4.5 adds support for instruments to the DataCite Metadata
    Schema. Instrument is now an option for resourceTypeGeneral to support
    repositories with consistently identifying and referencing
    instruments. Connections between instruments and the data they collect
    can be indicated using RelatedIdentifiers with the new relationTypes
    IsCollectedBy and Collects. For guidance with creating metadata for
    instruments, the PIDINST Schema Mapping is included in the
    documentation.”
    Looking forward to see this query
    https://commons.datacite.org/doi.org?query=types.resourceTypeGeneral%3AI…
    being populated with results.
    Cheers, m.
