If you are to be an Admin to a Dataverse (project), contact the RSDS unit to have a Dataverse project space created. Be prepared to provide the following information:

• The name and identifier you would like for your dataverse

  • The identifier is an abbreviation that becomes part of the URL for your dataverse. For example, the identifier for the UM Librarians Dataverse is “umlibrarians”, which makes http://dataverse.lib.umanitoba.ca/dataverse/umlibrarians the URL for that dataverse.

• An estimate of the space (in GB or TB) that will be required for your dataverse.

• Information about your REB application(s), if relevant.
