We would like to index those data collections in our dataverse repository. Is that possible? If so, is there any documentation on it? I'm struggling to find the words to locate it with.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 15 2024 at 21:09):Hi! Yes, it's possible. @Sherry Lake asked us to create a harvesting set in Harvard Dataverse for UVa datasets and I believe she harvests them to https://dataverse.lib.virginia.edu/dataverse/uvaharvard
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 15 2024 at 21:09):Is that what you're looking for?
Don Richards (Feb 15 2024 at 21:17):Yes, I think so. My understanding of the term "harvesting" usually means extracting data for export. How does this work with data in another repository?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 15 2024 at 21:20):Well, in a Dataverse context harvesting refers specifically to the OAI-PMH protocol.
On the server you define a set: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.1/admin/harvestserver.html
On the client you create a client: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.1/admin/harvestclients.html
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 15 2024 at 21:21):You typically schedule the client to harvest from the server periodically, every week maybe.
Don Richards (Feb 15 2024 at 21:47):Oh, ok. Let me read that and back to you. Thanks
