Feature request/idea: Retention period

[Laura Huisintveld]

Hello everyone,

We would like to receive your input on our idea for handling files for which a retention period is applicable. My colleague has written down our ideas in this GitHub issue:
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/9375 . 

Feedback is welcome.

Some background:

In our Dataverse instance (DataverseNL), we have some datasets on medical topics from the Dutch university medical centres. Due to our national legislation, these medical datasets should be deleted after a defined period. (10 or 15 years). Therefore it would be useful to have a metadata field to store information about the retention period, so the datasets that are reaching the end of the retention period can be easily found and proper measures on file level can be taken.

Kind regards,

Laura
