Can I upload metadata blocks only for a sub-dataverse of root?

[Zhang Yue]

Dear all,

WIth the help of guide I already successfully uploaded customized metadata blocks to the root dataverse. Is there any option to just direct upload these metadata blocks to specific sub-dataverse instead of the root one? Which means:

1. I am just the Admin of the specific sub-dataverse, not root Admin

2. the metadatablock template will not be seen in root when root Admin create another sub-dataverse.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Sincerely，

Yue

Hi Yue,

Yes, we do this for a number of Harvard-specific metadata blocks that we don't want to be seen. You put the name of the collection (the dataverseAlias) in the tsv file.

Here are the docs: "If specified, this metadata block will be available only to the Dataverse collection designated here by its alias and to children of that Dataverse collection." -- https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.8/admin/metadatacustomization.html#metadatablock-properties

We actually don't do this hiding yet in the new React SPA so you can see the difference (hidden or not) here: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-frontend/issues/873

I hope this helps,

Phil

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your quick response.

Cool to know dataverseAlias. Another question is that may I use such command on remote machine for tsv upload and metadatablock announce like: curl -H "X-Dataverse-key:xxx" -X POST -H "Content-type:application/json" -d "[\"journal\",\"mymetadata\"]" http://mydataverse.com/api/dataverses/:root/metadatablocks

Best,

Yue

Yes, in the API Guide we document it here: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.8/api/native-api.html#define-metadata-blocks-for-a-dataverse-collection
