freeza0311: hi! I guess we can pick up from http://irclogs.jackgrigg.com/irc.freenode.net/openhatch/2015-06-06
13:22 freeza0311
yes
13:22 freeza0311
ofcourse
13:23 pdurbin
this explains dataverse vs dataset: http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.0/user/dataverse-management.html
13:23 pdurbin
and here's what the production site at Harvard looks like: https://dataverse.harvard.edu

pdurbin: oh sorry there was a network interruption
13:35 pdurbin
freeza0311: no worries, but I'm heading out in a few minutes to bring my kids to a music store to pick out an instrument for next year
13:35 pdurbin
maybe bencomp or skay or shauna can answer questions :)
13:36 freeza0311
freeza0311: no prob
13:36 freeza0311
pdurbin : no prob
13:36 freeza0311
pdurbin: thanks for your time
13:37 pdurbin
freeza0311: sure. we have a lot of related projects besides Dataverse
13:37 pdurbin
various languages: Java, Python, R, Javascript
13:38 pdurbin
under "software" at http://datascience.iq.harvard.edu
13:38 pdurbin
Scala
13:39 freeza0311
pdurbin: sure i will look on it
13:41 pdurbin
I recently added this project to openhatch: http://openhatch.org/projects/dataverse-client-python
13:41 pdurbin
see also http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.0/api/client-libraries.html
13:42 freeza0311
pdurbin : ok
14:12 freeza0311
hello?
14:12 freeza0311

17:23 freeza0311
hello?
17:40 pdurbin
freeza0311: hi
17:44 freeza0311
pdurbin : I still dont understand the basic concept of dataverse
17:44 freeza0311
pdurbin : it is written that is stores datasets
17:45 freeza0311
pdurbin : but then why dataverse
17:45 freeza0311
pdurbin : we can easily store data in archives
17:53 pdurbin
freeza0311: you mean like https://archive.org ? not sure which archives you mean
17:58 freeza0311
pdurbin : i mean the data can be stored in folders
17:58 freeza0311
then why use dataverse
18:04 pdurbin
sure, you could put your data in folders if you want
18:07 freeza0311
pdurbin: so why dataverse
18:07 freeza0311
pdurbin : also dataverse is an application right?
18:08 freeza0311
pdurbin : then what is the structure created by dataverse
18:08 freeza0311
?
18:09 pdurbin
freeza0311: right, an application written mostly in Java: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse
18:09 freeza0311
then what is the name of structure created by dataverse
18:09 freeza0311
?
18:11 pdurbin
it's sort of a tree structure, I guess, since you can put dataverses inside dataverses: http://dataverse.org/about/
18:15 freeza0311
pdurbin : this is what i understood of dataverse
18:15 freeza0311
pdurbin: tell me when i am going wrong
18:16 freeza0311
pdurbin:dataverse is an application that creates a system of of folders on a server
18:16 freeza0311
pdurbin: where datasets are stored
18:17 freeza0311
pdurbin: it can have another dataverse inside it
18:17 freeza0311
pdurbin: and anyone can access that data
18:17 freeza0311
pdurbin: but we can change the permissions too
18:18 freeza0311
pdurbin: it can be used as a service
18:19 freeza0311
pdurbin: or we can download the software and use it ourselves
18:26 pdurbin
freeza0311: yep, you've got it :)
18:27 pdurbin
the free service is hosted by Harvard at https://dataverse.harvard.edu
18:27 pdurbin
but bencomp for example runs https://dataverse.nl
18:28 freeza0311
pdurbin: can anyone with an account create a dataverse on https://dataverse.harvard.edu
18:28 freeza0311
what is bencomp?
18:33 pdurbin
freeza0311: yes but a much better place to play around is at https://dataverse-demo.iq.harvard.edu . The other site is for real research data.
18:33 pdurbin
bencomp is Ben at http://community.dataverse.org/community-groups/auth.html
18:36 freeza0311
pdurbin: i think this site itself is a dataverse in which we are creating our own dataverses
18:37 pdurbin
yeah, it's a little confusing. I guess we like the word dataverse :)
18:40 freeza0311
pdurbin: yeah its deep
