Coerce DOI to URL in amendment file

[jar398]

I see:

"sources": [
{
"source": "10.3897/zookeys.528.6001", 
"source_type": "Link (DOI) to publication"
}
], 

Just as everywhere else in the system, the DOI should be coerced to a URL:

• if source is "http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.528.6001", leave it alone
• if source is "10.3897/zookeys.528.6001", prepend http://dx.doi.org/
• if source is "doi:10.3897/zookeys.528.6001", change it to "http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.528.6001" (maybe permit a space after "doi:")

This could be done in the curator app, but we get more leverage if it's done in phylesystem-api or peyotl.

I have changed my mind. I think the coercion is better done in the curator app. This is just one among many possible type or structure coercions, and I don't think the back end is the place to be doing such DWIMish things. It would be a slippery slope and would make the interface spec quite complicated. But they're fine in the curator app, which is responsible for preparing documents in a form suitable for storage.

If validation fails, e.g. if a field requiring a URL doesn't contain a URL, the document shouldn't be stored.

Sorry to have led you astray.
