New DataCite object types: Presentation and Poster (Open for feedback until June 20)

Based on the community feedback, the DOI registration agency DataCite is preparing to expand its metadata schema, specifically the resourceTypeGeneral parameter, to include two new object types for Presentations and Posters (see below).

You can provide feedback on these new data types directly on the GitHub threads or via support@datacite.org.
