Import Insight Journal

• Import ~1000 research objects
• Make each have dpid + a "version of record" DOI on CrossRef ($1 each)
• Create an ARC with these in there

Some details from discussions with @hubsmoke:

• We will do this as actual research objects, but it will not be possible for the authors to claim them because it's made with a different DID. This is OK.

• We could potentially have imported them as "soft" nodes, i.e. public nodes that doesn't have an actual research object. This way, original authors could claim them. We choose not to do this, because:

  • engineering is more complex, both on app and backend side
  • new access type to support going forward, in an already complex flow
  • it's a good scalability test for the protocol(s)

• Regarding key management, these were the alternatives:

  1. Create all of them with a known, new key (1 key controlling n research objects)
  2. Create each with a known, individual new key (n keys controlling n research objects)
  3. Create all with a key we throw away ("tombstone" imports, no updates possible)

  We are going with 1, keeping the option open for Insight Journal to manage the objects themselves.
