Working with the cabinet and metadata

This guide is for an institution’s responsible staff. It covers the daily work, from entering a record to updating it.

Signing in to the cabinet

Account details are sent to the responsible staff member through an official channel once the agreement has been formalised. On first sign-in you are asked to change the password and to turn on two-step verification.

Cabinet address: kabinet.nationaldri.uz. Accounts are issued to the institution’s own staff only; passing an account to a third party is prohibited.

Entering a record

01

Open the “New record” section and choose the publication type.

02

Fill in the required fields: title, authors, source, date, language.

03

Enter the abstract and keywords — they noticeably improve search quality.

04

Check the data against the original publication and submit it: once it passes the automatic checks, the DRI is issued at once.

Check states

Draft

The record is saved but not yet submitted. It is not publicly visible.

Being checked

Automatic checks are running. They run the moment the record is submitted; there is no manual approval.

Confirmed

A DRI has been issued and the record is visible in the open registry.

Correction needed

The problem is shown at once and no DRI is issued; once it is fixed, the record is submitted again.

Updating a record

If a metadata error is found or the source address changes, the record is edited. The identifier does not change: only the “Last updated” date changes on the passport page. Only when an article was uploaded under the wrong issue is a new primary DRI issued; the earlier one is kept and redirects to it. A record can never be deleted outright.

Bulk upload

Large numbers of records are sent through the CSV template or the API. The template is taken from the “Bulk upload” section of the cabinet; the column names must not be changed.

file;type;journal_code;conference_code;volume;number;year;article_no;title;title_en;abstract;abstract_en;authors;language;keywords;udc;pages_first;pages_last;published_date;license;target_url;ejournal_available;references

Authors and keywords are separated by a semicolon (;), references by a vertical bar (|).

Common mistakes

The source link does not open
The link must be public and must not require signing in. Internal network addresses are not accepted.
Wrong order of authors
The order must be the same as in the original publication; re-sorting alphabetically is not allowed.
A second record for the same publication
The system detects the duplicate and refuses the record. Edit the existing record instead.
Extra characters in the title
A title is plain text only: HTML tags, extra spaces and a title written entirely in capitals are not accepted.

If you are planning a technical integration, use the API documentation and the test environment.
