The Dataverse project, developed at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science since 2006, is a widely used software platform to share and archive data for research. There are currently more than 20 Dataverse repository installations worldwide, with the Harvard Dataverse repository alone hosting more than 60,000 datasets. Dataverse provides incentives to researchers to share their data, giving them credit through data citation and control over terms of use and access. In this talk, I'll discuss the Dataverse project, as well as related projects such as DataTags to share sensitive... Read more about Dataverse, Cloud Dataverse, and DataTags

Poster by Eleni Castro.

Abstract
Since 2006 the Dataverse Project, an open source data repository application developed at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), has provided metadata for datasets in the social sciences using the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) standard. Over time the Dataverse application has expanded to also include metadata and file support for: additional domains such as astronomy and the biomedical sciences, as well as to increase interoperability with other systems. This poster will...
