The Dataverse Project is a widely-deployed open-source research-data repository platform, developed at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) and run by many institutional and national installations worldwide (including DataverseNL, Demo Dataverse, and Harvard Dataverse). It mints DataCite DOIs for deposited datasets, organises metadata through configurable metadata blocks, and supports controlled vocabularies. Its contributor and author metadata fields make it relevant to CRediT-style contribution capture and to loading the CASRAI Dictionary as a controlled term set.
What to use from CASRAI
Touchpoints
- 01Custom metadata blocks — load CASRAI Dictionary terms as controlled-vocabulary fields
- 02DataCite DOI minting — dataset citation metadata aligned with the dictionary
- 03Contributor / author metadata — map to CRediT contribution roles
- 04ORCID + ROR supported for author and affiliation identifiers
Setup
Integration steps
- 1Download the CASRAI Dictionary CSV or JSON-LD bundle from /dictionary/download
- 2Define a custom metadata block (TSV) mapping dictionary types to Dataverse fields
- 3Load the block via the metadata-block API and enable it for the relevant collections
- 4Configure controlled-vocabulary values for contribution-role fields aligned with CRediT
