Dataverse mirroring

[Marina Chagas Oliveira]

Hello everyone!

We have a user that currently has their own Dataverse in Harvard Dataverse, but it would be of mutual interest for them to create a Dataverse in our repository as well, with datasets being mirrored between both repositories (i.e., datasets published in Harvard Dataverse would also be available in our repository, and vice versa).

I tried configuring harvesting, but when using the OAI-PMH endpoint but I was unable to identify the appropriate OAI set for their Dataverse so I couldn't test it properly.

Is this type of bidirectional mirroring something that can be achieved through harvesting?

Is there another recommended approach for synchronizing datasets between two Dataverse installations?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Marina,

I'm a UX researcher for Dataverse and occasionally help manage Harvard Dataverse's OAI-PMH harvesting.

Yes, we can use Dataverse's OAI-PMH harvesting features to achieve the kind of bidirectional mirroring you described.

My colleagues and I created all of the repository's OAI-PMH harvesting sets you found after folks requested us to. We probably haven't created a set that contains information about the datasets that your user published in Harvard Dataverse. We can do that a number of ways, like telling Dataverse to create a set with information about all datasets in a particular Dataverse collection, if your user's datasets are and will be published in a collection, or telling Dataverse to create a set with information about datasets that have particular characteristics, like being authored by your user.

Or, instead of coordinating with my colleagues and I, you can tell your Dataverse repository to query DataCite to get information about datasets your user has published in Harvard Dataverse, if your Dataverse repository is running one of the more recent releases of the Dataverse software that includes this feature. That feature's described in our guides at https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.10.1/admin/harvestclients.html#harvesting-from-datacite.

If you'd like us to create a set for your user, I can email you directly to figure out how to do this. Or if you'd like help telling your Dataverse repository how to query DataCite to harvest dataset info from Harvard Dataverse, we can email directly about that, too.

Lastly, has your user also published datasets in your repository, or will they? And if so, should information about those datasets also show up in Harvard Dataverse?

I hope this helps!

Julian

Hi Julian,

It certainly helped!

We are currently running Dataverse v6.5 and planning to update soon. I'll talk to our IT department about the options you have described and we may contact you directly in case we need some more information. Thank you for offering.

And yes, the user has not yet published in our repository but they will. The information about those datasets should also appear in Harvard Dataverse.

Thanks again!
