GLIS DOI and Easy-SMTA

GGCE can be configured to mint accession DOIs using DOI Registration Service of the Global Information System (GLIS) of the ITPGRFA, and for automated reporting on SMTA distributions to Easy-SMTA.

Find out more about GLIS DOIs on ITPGRFA GLIS website.

Default configuration

GGCE uses test environments of ITGPRFA services by default to prevent unintentionally sending data to Easy-SMTA or GLIS production. See configuration instructions.

GGCE uses two separate categories of application settings: one for minting DOIs, and one for reporting to Easy-SMTA. Your configuration may use the same settings for both categories.

Minting DOIs

DOIs for accessions can easily be obtained from GLIS DOI Registration Service using GGCE. The Secretariat of the International Treaty provides DOI registration free-of-charge for the entire PGRFA community. The accession details page offers the button Submit to GLIS which sends accession passport data to GLIS, and retrieves the DOI assigned to this accession.

GLIS is public

Do not submit to GLIS information on any material you wish to keep private.
