Thanks! Can you help me with some DataONE ignorance? My understanding is that’s it a coordination layer for many repositories, so we’ll need a repository appropriate to our topics and privacy needs, or possibly create our own member node (actually a longer-term possibility should some projects get off the ground).
Karissa’s presentation on Dat from the last community call did make it sound like the next phase of Dat was very much trying to be a “github for data” that replaces ad-hoc tools like Dropbox for researchers. I’m looking out for that keenly.
Good points on metadata on GitHub. This seems like the most ready-to-go option out there, that at minimum can be adopted as an interim solution. I’d be interested to see if figshare or other repositories set up a similarly easy solution.
