Description
Dataverse is an open-source web-based application to share, preserve, cite, explore, and analyze research data. The central idea behind Dataverse is to automate much of the job of the professional archivist, and to provide services for and to distribute credit to the data creator.

Platform and interoperability
The Dataverse makes use of the following components: Java Server Faces; Enterprise Java Beans; PostgreSQL; Solr; and R and Zelig. Prerequisites for installation include Oracle JDK or OpenJDK, a “virgin” installation of Glassfish Version 4.1+, preferably as part of the NetBeans Web Development bundle, PostgreSQL Version 9.3+, and R. The software was designed to integrate reCAPTCHA, Google Analystics, ImageMagick, Shibboleth, and DOI registration via EZID if the installer so wishes. The Dataverse currently has multiple open APIs available, which allow for searching, depositing and accessing data.
Standards compliance
The software supports numerous metadata standards, including DDI, Dublin Core, Data Cite, etc. Each dataset is also given a data citation with a persistent global unique identifier that is in compliance with DataCite and the Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles
