15:48 JonathanNeal hello all, pdurbin
15:50 pdurbin JonathanNeal: hi! here to follow up on http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2013-10-23/line/1382579057 ? :)
15:51 JonathanNeal I'm always interested in new data schemes.
15:51 pdurbin aren't we all
15:51 JonathanNeal Had to write this down last night just to feel cozy again https://github.com/jonathantneal/internet-time
15:51 JonathanNeal are your unique identifiers the md5 hash?
15:52 pdurbin DVN has two unique identifiers
15:52 pdurbin 1. DOI for a permanent URL
15:53 pdurbin 2. UNF is sort of our md5
15:53 pdurbin more on UNF: http://thedata.org/book/universal-numerical-fingerprint
15:55 pdurbin here's an example of a DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7910/DVN1/22691
16:15 JonathanNeal Lookin'
16:16 JonathanNeal so is it 10.7910, DVN1, or 2269?
16:48 axfelix joined #dvn
17:08 pdurbin JonathanNeal: sorry, was out to lunch. literally
17:08 JonathanNeal don't abuse the "literally" word.
17:08 pdurbin :)
17:10 pdurbin 10.7910 is the prefix. might have another name
17:10 pdurbin DVN1 is the shoulder
17:11 pdurbin 2269 is the unique identifier for that combination of prefix and shoulder
17:12 pdurbin JonathanNeal: more at http://n2t.net/ezid/doc/apidoc.html for example
18:39 pdurbin axfelix: great demo! thanks! \o/
18:40 axfelix pdurbin: our pleasure!
18:40 pdurbin axfelix: hey so... we just thought of something
18:40 pdurbin after we hung up (of course)
18:40 pdurbin :)
18:40 axfelix of course
18:40 pdurbin what about the boolean for dataverse has been released?
18:41 pdurbin axfelix: does that ring a bell?
18:41 axfelix hm, you mean going back to distinguishing between draft == not released and other states?
18:42 pdurbin no, sorry
18:42 pdurbin draft is a study thing
18:42 pdurbin I'm talking about a dataverse
18:42 pdurbin axfelix: here, check this out: http://thedata.harvard.edu/guides/dataverse-api-main.html#determine-if-a-dataverse-has-been-released
18:42 axfelix ah, right, okay
18:43 pdurbin "dataverseHasBeenReleased"
18:43 pdurbin it's a bit of a chicken and the egg problem
18:43 pdurbin you can't release a dataverse until it has a released study
18:44 axfelix so on the assumption that a new dataverse has been created for the first time...
18:44 pdurbin yeah
18:44 axfelix and it's being used for the first time with the OJS plugin...
18:44 pdurbin yeah
18:44 axfelix you can't actually release it until the plugin has already pushed a study in there, but that necessitates a hop over to the DVN interface which might not be immediately obvious?
18:44 pdurbin exactly
18:45 axfelix but we wouldn't want to trigger it automatically, as presumably there's a reason you bothered including the boolean
18:45 pdurbin so maybe add some ANGRY RED if a dataverse hasn't been released yet... and provide a link to the DVN gui ... "please go release the dataverse"
18:45 axfelix so maybe an OJS notification every time an article linking to DV is accepted/published notifying you that the DV itself has not been released yet, and a toggle to be able to make that change from within OJS?
18:46 axfelix or, OK, it can't be toggled from OJS itself, that's fine too
18:46 pdurbin well, hold on
18:46 pdurbin you *can't* release (or unrelease) a *dataverse* through the API. it must be done through the DVN gui. which is why I'm saying a link to the gui would be nice
18:47 axfelix I don't have a problem with that, it sounds like this merits actually going into the DVN interface and we're not trying to keep editors/JM out of there by any means
18:47 axfelix can do
18:47 pdurbin awesome
18:47 pdurbin looks like it's in some meeting minutes from 2013-09-09 if that helps
18:48 axfelix frankly I imagine I misunderstood at the time so I appreciate you clarifying now
18:48 pdurbin oh sure
18:48 pdurbin I mean, releasing a dataverse is a one time thing, typically
18:49 pdurbin once it's released, it stays released. and it's for the whole journal
18:49 axfelix right
18:49 JonathanNeal How do you guys create a unique ID for something that is material? Like a book, or a car?
18:50 pdurbin JonathanNeal: heh. we don't typically store cars in a dataverse. binaries only, please ;)
18:50 pdurbin flat files are ok
18:50 pdurbin nothing physical
18:50 JonathanNeal Oh, so it's a digital cataloging system.
18:50 pdurbin JonathanNeal: yep
18:51 pdurbin axfelix: so are we all set? we just don't want authors to be surprised that no one can see their data because the author created the first study in a dataverse and the dataverse hasn't been released yet
18:52 axfelix yeah, this should be very straightforward on our end
18:52 pdurbin axfelix: great. I'm telling you... ANGRY RED
18:52 axfelix it'll let you know if clarification needed, but it'll make it into the testing build
18:52 axfelix hah, understood
18:53 pdurbin awesome
18:55 pdurbin axfelix: thanks again. great demo. I just wanted to make sure this detail doesn't slip through the cracks
18:56 axfelix no problem, small workflow stuff like that is easy for us
18:56 pdurbin great
19:32 pdurbin hooray! great pull request! https://github.com/dvn/dvn-install-demo/pull/1
19:32 pdurbin I just merged it in
19:33 pdurbin and I especially like that he wrote "thanks to Philip Durbin for a really great installation experience" -- https://github.com/IQSS/dvn/wiki/DVN-Install-Demo-on-Windows-7 :)
19:39 pdurbin many thanks to https://github.com/richarddunks for the pull request and the wiki contribution :)
