Deleting resources with DOIs #2497
Description
It may be the case that a SEEK resource with a DOI needs to be deleted, e.g. if it contained sensitive data and was published accidentally.
Support being able to delete SEEK resources with a DOI:
- "Hide" the DOI on DataCite
- Remove any content from the SEEK filestore/git
- Blank out metadata (but ensure the resource is still valid)
- Remove from SEEK search index
- Capture the reason for the deletion
- Display a tombstone page if the DOI is visited
Things to consider
- How to implement this with minimal impact on the code
- How to store the info for the tombstone page
- How to stop the resource showing up in "related items" etc., or being counted in statistics (or maybe we don't care about this?)
- Permissions - the user should have manage rights to the resource
