  1. Create an XML file containing the metadata for the Posted Content document. posted-content-template.xml is provided by Crossref. TI.1.1.xml and TI.53.1.xml are examples for T&I documents; it's probably easiest to make a copy of one of those and edit it for your new document. You probably want to use a schema-validating XML editor to avoid syntactic and semantic errors (Crossref recommends Oxygen or XmlSpy), but a normal text editor can also be used.
    • Authors/contributors can be either people or organizations (e.g., a working group). TI.53.1.xml has examples of both <person_name> and <organization>.
    • The sequence attribute for <person_name> and <organization> sequence attribute for <person_name> and <organization> (first or additional) is important. Don't leave it out.  (First would be the lead author.)
    • If you have no known contributors, remove the <contributors> element entirely. Sequence is, of course, not important in this case.
    • <doi_batch_id> and <timestamp> aren<timestamp> aren't part of the metadata, but they must increase if you need to resubmit the metadata. Note that the examples encode the current date/time, including seconds, in those values.
    • <depositor_name> and <registrant> should be Internet2.
    • <email_address> should be your address; it's where success/fail and other notifications about your submission will be sent.
    • <group_title> should be Internet2 be Internet2 Trust and Identity Policy. I think we can invent any group titles we want, but I figure it's probably best to lump it all together for now.
    • <title> is the document's title.
    • <posted_date> is the document's publish date. You must provide at least <year>. If you do not provide <month> or <day>, remove them entirely (including the XML tags).
    • <doi> is the DOI you're creating. It's 10.26869/ followed by the Repository ID, (e.g., 10 10.26869/TI.53.1).
    • <resource> is the URL of the T&I repository metadata page for the document.
  2. Test your XML file using Crossref's XML parser. This will not guarantee a successful submission, but it does weed out many errorsproblems before you try to submit.
  3. Submit your XML files at http://doi.crossref.org/; the file type is Metadata. The process is described in Uploading files using an interface.
  4. Edit the document's T&I metadata page to add the DOI (10.26869/ followed by the Repository ID) and Persistent URL (http://doi.org/ followed by the DOI).
  5. Watch your mail to see when the submission has been processed (usually less than a minute but can be longer). Assuming success, test the DOI by clicking on the document's Persistent URL from the repository index page.
