Topic: where to put Locally FAIR docs

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 ๐Ÿš€ 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?

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin ๐Ÿš€ (Sep 15 2026 at 12:56):

Yes, that would be best, I think.

LIST and UniBW seemed very interested

cool

It should go under FAIR pubs, right?

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin ๐Ÿš€ (Sep 15 2026 at 12:58):

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."?

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin ๐Ÿš€ (Sep 15 2026 at 13:02):

Hmm, maybe "should be available to certain groups of people."

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:
