In searching for an appropriate data/research repository system for my research institution, I came across the Dataverse Project. Sounds like just the thing we need!
I have a few questions, though, so I hope you can bear with me – any advice anyone can provide would be welcome.
(Note: Sorry for intruding if this is not the correct place to post such a question...if you could point me in the right direction, that would be great.)
1. If we were to choose the Harvard Dataverse, our files would be on the Harvard servers.
a) I understand that Harvard makes backups. But could we make/get our own backups of what is in the Dataverse? Or would we have to do that before we send files to the Dataverse?
b) Is there a space limit on what any given institution or user can place in the Dataverse? How much can we put in there?!
c) What about files such as video, audio, PowerPoint, images? Can those go in the Dataverse?
2. If we installed Dataverse on our own server:
a) In your opinion, how skilled would an IT person need to be to install/manage a Dataverse?
b) How frequent are updates?
c) Once Dataverse is installed, is there some kind of a back end dashboard or other tool to use for uploading files/managing the system?
d) We use Wordpress for our website. Would we be able to integrate Dataverse into our site?
e) Do you know of any companies that do Dataverse installations?
Many thanks in advance for the information.
