Hmm, I'm not sure I love how as of https://dataverse-guide--12319.org.readthedocs.build/en/12319/user/locally-fair.html Locally FAIR is at the same level as other docs directly under the user guide:
![]()
What do others think? :thinking:
While I think it looks ok here, maybe it can fit as a section in Dataset + File Management? That may not highlight the feature as much as you'd like, though
It's an experimental feature, so I'm a bit concerned it's being highlighted too much! :sweat_smile:
I also wouldn't put it under the user guide level. I would also think of adding it under "Dataset + File Management", or perhaps under "Dataverse Collection Management"
Thanks, I just left a comment for Jim to check what we wrote here in Zulip.
@William Hahn @Dieuwertje Bloemen I moved it here instead: https://dataverse-guide--12319.org.readthedocs.build/en/12319/user/dataverse-management.html#locally-fair
What do you think? Better?
@Philip Durbin ๐ I think this is a very sensible place to put it! :sunglasses:
I threw it at end :sweat_smile:
@Oliver Bertuch no objection. Please feel free to make a PR but we need it real soon if it's going to make it into 6.12!
I'm pretty sure @Dieuwertje Bloemen @Alyssa Conlon and I (and others) considered it but decided to wait because it's experimental.
Maybe we can mark it as such?
Yes, that would be best, I think.
Noice
LIST and UniBW seemed very interested
cool
It should go under FAIR pubs, right?
Yeah, I'd say so. Maybe at the end. And marked as experiemental.
"Some data cannot be shared with the public right away, but should be available within a specific scope."?
Hmm, maybe "should be available to certain groups of people."
WDYT
![]()
I'm ready to merge it. Do you mind if I do?
If you think it's sufficient, go go go
I would maybe add "metadata" in there. So "Some metadata and data cannot...". Because otherwise, it could be read as file restrictions instead of full invisibility of datasets' existence. Another option "Some datasets' existence cannot.... but should be findable for certain groups of people."
Hmm, good point. :grimacing:
@Dieuwertje Bloemen do you want to make a PR? This is the file to edit: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/develop/doc/sphinx-guides/source/admin/features.md
yeah, I'll have a look
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/12709
Merged! Thanks!
