General Information
What is the Texas Data Repository?
...
- Researchers can upload any type of data file through Dataverse. Additional features and support for certain types of data files exist, such as:
- Tabular data (CSV, RData, DTA) - more info here
- GIS Shape data (DBS, PRJ, SBN, SBX, SHP.xml, SHP.EA.ISO.xml, SHP.iso.xml, SHX) - more info here
- Astronomy data: FITS
- Whenever possible, it is advisable to provide data in non-proprietary formats (e.g., CSV or XML) in order to ensure broader use for researchers with access to different analytic software. Note that data must be provided in an electronic format. Additional information on best practices for file formats is available here.
How large can datasets be?
...
What are the options for access to my data and licensing?
- In order to promote access to research data and compliance with funding agency mandates, the default access for data ingested in the pilot study is open access with a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-0) license. There are additional options for licensing (e.g., Creative Commons), requiring a request to access your data, restricting access, and defining the terms of use.
...
- There are several ways to share data you deposit in the TDR without publishing the data. Go to the User Guide Sections 3.2 and 3.4 for more detail.
- You can provide access to restricted files with anyone (whether they have a TDR user account or not) by creating a private URL.
- You can include others with TDR user accounts to collaborate in the management of datasets, files, and dataverses. More about sharing data.
What if someone I want to share my data with someone who doesn’t have a user account in TDR?
- If you just want to provide “read” access to restricted files, you can create and share a private URL that anyone (whether they have a user account or not) can use to access the data. See Section 3.4 of the User Guide for instructions on sharing via a private URL.
- Other types of sharing and collaborating require that those you are sharing with have user accounts in the TDR. See Section 3.5 of the user guide for instructions on inviting them to create user accounts.
