Using "dataset" as resourceTypeGeneral for "replication data"

[julian...@g.harvard.edu]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing just to confirm that it's okay to use the value "Dataset" for the resourceTypeGeneral property. Lots of data repositories publish datasets that contain code, such as this dataset (https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FAZJE4). This repository (and actually every Dataverse-based repository) sends all records to DataCite with "Dataset" for the resourceTypeGeneral property. But I'd like to make sure this is correct. I suppose the alternatives would be "Collection" or "Other."

Thanks,
