Mint Ark For Existing Work

It is possible that a new Work might be created in ReSeeD while the ARK service is, for some reason, offline. ReSeeD is designed to tolerate this situation and to allow the work to be created, without a new ARK having been minted.

In order to rectify this situation (for example after the ARK service is back online), and to mint an ARK for an existing work, the following process can be used.

Run the following from the Rails console.

For ordinary RUB work

dataset_id = '73666519p'
d = Dataset.find(dataset_id)
d.register_ark

For CRC1280 works

crc_dataset_id = 'h415pb224'
d = CrcDataset.find(crc_dataset_id)
d.register_ark
