Create a Metadata Document
While creating a metadata document the DO has to contain two elements:
- Serialization of metadata (DataCite (JSON))
- id = metadata
- type = application/json
- Serialization of metadata (document)
- id = document
- type = application/ld+json | application/json | application/xml
