All depositors
What inspired the request?
#10288
What existing behavior do you want changed?
- add a new subfield topicClassTermURI (with topicClassification as the parent) to the citation metadata block
- migrate contents from topicClassVocabURI or topicClassValue to topicClassTermURI (if that field was used for a term URI before)
- change DataCite export format, so that the content of topicClassTermURI goes into the property valueURI of the subject element: topicClassValue
