Description
Overview of the Feature Request
When the user adds an Other Identifier but does not enter an Agency, the OpenAIRE/oai_datacite export should default alternateIdentifierType to :unav, as the DataCite/Datacite export already does. Currently, the OpenAIRE/oai_datacite export doesn't include alternateIdentifierType at all in this case.
This issue is part of a larger effort to align both metadata exports, described in https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/11916 and https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/12281.
What kind of user is the feature intended for?
API User, Superuser, and Sysadmin
What inspired the request?
This is part of a larger effort to align the OpenAIRE/oai_datacite and DataCite/Datacite metadata exports. There is more context at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/11916 and https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/12281.
What existing behavior do you want changed?
Currently, when the user adds an Other Identifier but does not choose an Agency, the DataCite/Datacite export defaults alternateIdentifierType to :unav. For example:
<alternateIdentifier
alternateIdentifierType=":unav">https://nogagencyvalue.org/1234
</alternateIdentifier>
The OpenAIRE/oai_datacite export doesn't include alternateIdentifierType all all in this case.
The OpenAIRE/oai_datacite export should be changed to default alternateIdentifierType to :unav when the user doens't enter anything in the Agency field, matching the behavior of the DataCite/Datacite export.

Research direction
Compare the OpenAIRE/oai_datacite export with the existing DataCite/Datacite export, focusing on handling of Other Identifier Agency values. Reproduce the case where an Other Identifier has no Agency, then update the OpenAIRE export so the XML includes alternateIdentifierType=":unav". Verify that the generated output matches the documented example and preserves behavior when an Agency is provided.
