McMaster University

McMaster University DataCite Registration

McMaster University's membership of DataCite as a consortium organisation within the Canadian DataCite consortium, giving it the ability to mint DOIs for research outputs and datasets. Recorded as a registry membership — a fact about McMaster. The registry's own contract is never saved here, and this entry is never removed to tidy up a shared host. The DataCite Commons page for ROR 02fa3aq29 is the natural human URL but returns a persistent 429 to non-browser clients, so datacite.org is used instead and the provider record is evidenced through the API in conformance/mcmaster-conformance.yml.
