18:07 chris____ joined #dvn
18:23 chris____ pdurbin
18:24 pdurbin that's me :)
18:24 chris____ Okay.
18:25 chris____ So my question is, is there a way to import batch data from version control such as git into a user's study?
18:25 chris____ I'm assuming no.
18:25 pdurbin hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by "batch data" but as of DVN 3.3 we have a zip upload. many files can be uploaded at once if they are zipped first
18:26 pdurbin "Ability to unzip zip files on upload (batch upload)" -- http://thedata.org/book/latest-releases ... yeah, it was 3.3
18:27 chris____ I have a few users who are heavy commandline users and don't care for the web interface of DVN.
18:27 pdurbin ah. well, we do have an API, but it's read only right now
18:27 chris____ That was my thought.
18:27 chris____ I didn't see any editing capabilities in there.
18:28 chris____ One more question
18:28 pdurbin it looks like "Initial implementation of Data Deposit API, with SWORD 2 compliance" is slated for 3.6 according to http://thedata.org/book/upcoming-releases
18:28 chris____ Sweet!
18:28 chris____ One other question.
18:29 pdurbin hmm, i don't see a ticket for it though
18:30 pdurbin it would be here: https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/projects/dvn
18:30 chris____ If you have say three users each with their own dv and they decide to collaborate on a project together. If one insists on creating the study in their dv, is there a way to link or connect that study with the other user's dataverse?
18:30 chris____ Okay thank you, I will take a look.
18:30 pdurbin oh sure, I believe "collections" is the concept you're looking for
18:31 chris____ great, thank you
18:31 pdurbin http://guides.thedata.org/book/manage-collections might help
18:31 chris____ We just put an instance of DVN online here at UMaine and I am getting slammed with questions faster than I can get up to speed with the capabilities of the system.
18:32 pdurbin oh good
18:32 pdurbin well, not that you're slammed :)
18:32 chris____ I got ya.
18:32 pdurbin you know you can email for support too, right?
18:32 chris____ Yes.
18:32 chris____ I saw you had an irc channel so I thought I would go there first.
18:33 pdurbin sure. IRC is my go-to as well
18:33 chris____ Thank you for your help. I'm sure we will be talking again soon. Best, Chris.
18:33 pdurbin if you can't find a ticket for the data deposit API, please feel free to email dvn_support@help.hmdc.harvard.edu
18:33 chris____ will do
18:33 pdurbin cool. thanks
