dryad2dataverse

dryad2dataverse is a Python package and an associated console line application which allows easier transfer of metadata and data from a Dryad data repository (ie, https://datadryad.org) to a Dataverse repository. Dryad2dataverse is pure Python and should run on any platform which supports Python 3.6 or greater.

Data transfers between repositories require local storage, so not all platforms will be equally suitable.

Installing

pip install dryad2dataverse

Usage

Most users will likely just want to use the command line transfer and monitor tool (dryadd) but the tools are available in any Python environment

Command line application

dryadd [all the various options]

see all the options available with

dryadd -h

Initiate a transfer from a Dryad repository to a Dataverse repository.

Using the package

#Serializer

i_heart_dryad = dryad2dataverse.serializer.Serializer('doi:10.5061/dryad.2rbnzs7jp')

dv.download_files()
dv.upload_study(targetDv='dryad')

Documentation

This very terse description is by no means the entirety of the documentation. Complete plain text documentation is available in the docs directory of (https://github.com/ubc-library-rc/dryad2dataverse), beginning with index.md.

A (much) more user-friendly version of the documentation is available at https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/dryad2dataverse, including full dryadd documentation and API information.

Or if you've cloned the git repostory above, you can use mkdocs and mkdocs serve to have a local server version of the documentation.
