15:24 pdurbin djbrooke: this just in! A Dataverse installation has been added to the Research & Scholarship category! https://incommon.org/federation/info/all-entity-categories.html#SPs
15:26 pdurbin bjonnh: can you please try to log into https://dataverse-test.irss.unc.edu with your credentials from UIC?
15:31 pdurbin djbrooke: login now works for my buddy at MIT: https://botbot.me/freenode/positivepython/2016-06-10/?msg=67665755&page=1
15:33 pdurbin djbrooke: as expected, HarvardKey still does not work. If I log in to https://dataverse-test.irss.unc.edu I get 'Problem with Identity Provider The SAML assertion for "givenName" was null. Please contact support.' because Harvard (by policy) doesn't release all the attributes Dataverse needs. To see what is being released (eppn only) after login you can go to

18:03 pdurbin bjonnh: nice! So. Working from UNC, MIT, and UIC. Not working from Harvard or Emory.
18:18 bjonnh great
18:18 djbrooke joined #dataverse
18:18 bjonnh you have someone at Emory right?
18:26 pdurbin bjonnh: someone from Emory said it didn't work. I just started a spreadsheet and put UIC down as a successful login: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fWHGamXetTQw3cpf6Tc4efmTvoC97lpEeTLvN7Mxz3g/edit?usp=sharing
18:28 pdurbin bjonnh: thank you very much for testing!
18:29 pdurbin overheard: "Oh, the joys of operating an SP in a federation." :)
18:37 pdurbin bjonnh: ah, the Identity Provider (IdP) for the University of Illinois at Chicago has "research-and-scholarship" under "Entity Category". That's why it works. No Harvard there. No Emory. Here: https://www.incommon.org/federation/info/all-entity-categories.html
18:38 pdurbin Only 57 of the 430 InCommon IdPs are part of the Research & Scholarship category. So it seems like in production we should filter down to just them. Well, except we want Harvard on the list.
18:38 pdurbin djbrooke: is this making sense or should I swing by?
18:44 djbrooke I think we're all set - just responded to the guy from InCommon

21:20 bjonnh I have a stupid question about dataverse
21:20 bjonnh Let's say I use dataverse.org and publish a dataset on it
21:21 bjonnh and at one point I convince my institution or a big national research organisation (that's actually the plan) to host their own instance
21:21 djbrooke joined #dataverse
21:21 bjonnh is there a way to move data around while keepind the same IDs?
21:22 bjonnh or would the plan be to convince the big org to use the dataverse.org directly
21:23 bjonnh (contributing servers maybe?)
21:25 bjonnh (the org is not one involved in dataverse yet)
21:26 pdurbin bjonnh: http://dataverse.org is just the project site. To deposit data you'd have to scroll down and pick one of the Dataverse Repositories on the map. At http://dataverse.org/researchers we suggest deposting data into https://dataverse.harvard.edu
21:27 bjonnh yeah sorry
21:27 bjonnh that's the one I'm talking about
21:28 bjonnh Is there some guidelines on what should go on harvard, when a new instance should be spin up
21:28 pdurbin Well, all the datasets at https://dataverse.harvard.edu start with "doi:10.7910/DVN/" as the DOI (followed by a six character string).
21:28 bjonnh etc
21:30 pdurbin bjonnh: I think http://dataverse.org/institutions is pretty good at explaining when to host with Harvard and when to host on your own installation.
21:31 bjonnh now I have even more questions ;)
21:31 pdurbin Technically, pameyer's installation is also at Harvard but it will have different branding. :)
21:31 pdurbin bjonnh: you can ask away and I'll check the log but I gotta get my kid to her cello recital soon.
21:32 bjonnh 1) If one instance has to be shut down due to funding issues, can the data be transfered to another instance? (updating DOIs etc)
21:32 bjonnh ok sure
21:32 bjonnh 2) Who handles the DOI registration if I make my institution or the national organization host an instance?
21:33 bjonnh do they have to pay for these?
21:33 pdurbin for 1, please see http://dataverse.org/best-practices/harvard-dataverse-preservation-policy
21:34 pdurbin for 2, you do: http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.3.1/installation/prep.html#architecture-and-components
21:35 bjonnh pdurbin: seems that for 1, what you sent me only covers what is deposited at harvard.
21:36 bjonnh pdurbin: but lets say my institution decides to spin-up an instance, and then the broke and broken state of Illinois cut funding to UIC (which well, may happen in the future)
21:36 bjonnh is there a way to transfer all of that to another instance for conservation?
21:37 pdurbin sure, if the other instance starts paying for and hosting the DOIs
21:37 bjonnh ok
21:38 pdurbin hopefully that wouldn't happen very often
21:38 bjonnh well I prefer to have these things already answered before launching that :p
21:38 pdurbin sure. exit strategy :)
21:39 bjonnh well our state didn't vote a budget for more than a year now…
21:39 bjonnh so we are in a strange situation
21:40 pdurbin our teachers have been working without a contract for quite a while
21:40 bjonnh :s
21:41 pdurbin not at Harvard, at my kids' school :)
21:41 bjonnh is DOI the only (or highly recommended) applicable identifier?
21:41 bjonnh (not from the technical point of view)
21:42 pdurbin we're working on Handle support as well: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/3146
21:43 bjonnh do you know if NIH has a way to produce/handle DOIs?
21:44 bjonnh I cannot find them on ezid or datacite lists
21:44 pdurbin no idea but if you find out, please let me know
21:44 bjonnh sure
21:44 bjonnh I'll ask that right now to my contacts
21:44 pdurbin cool
21:45 bjonnh well as you guessed NIH would be part of this project
21:45 pdurbin nice
21:45 bjonnh at least part of it
21:46 pdurbin make 'em pay for the DOIs :)
21:46 bjonnh of course
21:46 bjonnh I mean
21:46 bjonnh that would be the plan to get them host the instance and provide DOIs
21:46 bjonnh in term of sustainability it make sense
21:47 pdurbin good to think about sustainability
21:47 pdurbin the software is free but hosting is not
21:48 bjonnh is there any map of the current harvard installation and estimation of cost?
21:51 pdurbin disk is not cheap, it turns out
21:52 pdurbin that's the impression I get anyway
21:52 pdurbin I don't have access to any numbers on cost.
21:54 bjonnh do you think that's numbers that could be accessible when I'll try to push that further?
21:54 pdurbin bjonnh: you could ask at support@dataverse.org but I don't know what they'd say
21:55 bjonnh I'd like to have initial NIH backing first before doing any inquiry of that kind
21:56 pdurbin meh, I wouldn't sweat it
21:57 pdurbin they/we can answer other questions
21:57 pdurbin or you could ask at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dataverse-community
21:57 bjonnh first I'm inquiring about the DOI situation
21:57 bjonnh NIST, DOE, NASA, NOAA, FWS, USGS all have the capability
21:57 bjonnh so…
