Data deposit● Institutional dataverses

● Deposit types

● Metadata

● Versioning

● File formats

Institutional dataverses• All data organized by institution (general root

available for non-affiliates, multi-institutional projects)

• Researchers deposit in Institutional Dataverses (defined by user affiliation)

• Library administers institutional space

• Customizable features (branding, featured Dataverses, facets, etc.)

Mediated deposit

Self-deposit

• Open to anyone to deposit and publish data• Usage statistics at institution-level to track published data

Note: SP Terms of Service covers removal of data if necessary (http://guides.scholarsportal.info/dataverse)

Metadata Standards• Citation (DataCite, Dublin Core, DDI)• Social Science (DDI)• Astronomy (Virtual Observatory VOResource)• Life Science (ISA-Tab)

Dataset Versioning

Dataset Versioning (continued)

File formats

All file formats are supported

• Tabular data files (SPSS, R, excel, CSV)

• Geospatial files

• Images

SP Dataverse storage• Maximum file size 2GB per file• Unzipping, tabular ingest processing intensive

Data discovery and re-use

● Linking research outputs

● Permissions and licensing

● Discovery and access

● Collaboration

● Data explorer

ORCID and DataCite integration

• Mechanisms for linking research output• ORCID ID field• ORCID sign-in *not configured • DataCite Canada DOI minting • DataCite indexing

Cross-referencing research outputs

Reference and link to publication in Dataverse record

Cite and link to data in publication

Obtain a DOI / data citation beforepublishing data

Provide private access to data during review process

Licensing• Default to CC0 (open data)

OR

• Custom terms of use ‘Data Usage Agreement’

• Restricted files and custom terms of access

User/groups and roles

• Assign permissions for collaborators, curators, file downloaders (access)

• Granular file-level permissions • IP Group based permissions

Dataset and file permissions

Dataset and file permissions (continued)

Discovery and Access

• Open Archives Initiative (OAI) protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH)

• Metadata from published, unrestricted datasets can be harvested

• Dataverse APIs

• Search API

• Data Access API

• SWORD API (upload)

• Native API

GuestbooksWho is downloading my data?

• User fills out guestbook form

• Owner downloads guestbook report

• Can be used to mediate access / approval of access to data

Collaborative data sharing

• Group permissions• Assign account roles• Track changes through versioning

Preservation Current support:

• Native support for file verification • checksums, UNF• file format identification

• DOIs for persistent identification of data• Derivative generation (tabular data -

.tsv/tab)

Needed:

• Policies required• repositories have some responsibilities

(short term)• institution focused long-term archiving

Coming Next

• Upgrading to 4.8.6 with new French translations (UdeM)• Dataverse-Archivematica integration• Investigating Shibboleth login support• Persistent identifiers at the file level• Support for file hierarchy• Large file support and HTTP upload support

Coming Next Dynamic web report/metrics

• Institutional listing• Downloads by month• File size by Dataverse• File type• Number of datasets by month• Subject coverage

Why use Dataverse?

• Supports FAIR data principles• Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuseable

• Secure data management• Effective sharing• Long-term access and preservation• Increase research visibility
