Speaker:

Description:
Over the last decade, our Data Science team
at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science has been iteratively
developing Dataverse, a data repository framework to facilitate and
enhance data sharing, preservation, citation, reuse and analysis. The open
source Dataverse software has been installed as a research data repository
at multiple institutions worldwide. The Dataverse repository hosted at Harvard
University is open to all researchers, and currently has over 53,000 data sets
containing 734,000 files. During the last two years, based on user
feedback and community practices, we have implemented extensible data
publishing workflows and effective ways to link publications to data. In
this talk, I'll present what we have learned in the process, and how it has
helped us define data publishing.
