DataCite member organisation and repository client

Queen Mary is a DataCite member organisation, provider id "iuar", memberType consortium_organization, linked to ROR https://ror.org/026zzn846, with one registered repository client "bl.qmul" created 2015-04-29 — the bl. prefix placing it inside the British Library DataCite consortium. This is recorded as a registry membership because it is a fact about the institution: Queen Mary mints DataCite DOIs in its own name. The DataCite API is DataCite's contract and is not saved here, and the membership is never deleted to tidy up a shared host.
