Branded as Yours, Live

A Dataverse collection can live on its owner’s own website, under the owner’s name, while the data stays in the repository with its citation and preservation. Below is a real one: Gary King’s dataverse, embedded here exactly as it is on his own site. Everything in the frame is served live from Harvard Dataverse.

Gary King’s website with his Dataverse collection embedded: the Harvard Dataverse search box, facets and the first of 69 datasets appear inside his own page, under his own navigation

Harvard Dataverse sometimes asks the browser for a bot check that cannot run inside a frame; if so, open the collection on Harvard Dataverse directly.

How It Is Done

The owner of a collection pastes one script tag into any page of their site. Dataverse supplies it under the collection’s Theme and Widgets settings; this is the one on Gary’s page:

<script src="https://dataverse.harvard.edu/resources/js/widgets.js?alias=king&dvUrl=https://dataverse.harvard.edu&widgetScope=king&widget=iframe&heightPx=800"></script>

The same settings page sets the collection’s logo, colours, tagline and link back to the owner’s website, so the collection carries the owner’s identity inside the repository too. A search-box widget is available as well, for a site that wants a search field rather than the full collection.
