Search API: Find Harvard Professors with Data in Dataverse

[eaquigley]

During a meeting on 5/5/2015 with representatives from the Harvard Archives, we discussed using the Search API to find out which Harvard professors have data in Dataverse. This would help the Harvard Archives finding aids and other related materials they have ownership of to datasets. Additionally, this will help to create a program where the Harvard Archives talks to Harvard professors about how they can archive their scholarly papers and have them linked with their datasets in Dataverse.

We will need to decide how to run this search by using Harvard in which metadata fields.

Examples:

1. could we search for all with Harvard affiliation?
2. could we search for all with Harvard emails? (do we allow searching on email?)

This isn't time sensitive so no rush.

could this be outputted in a csv or tsv file format?

What columns are desired in the csv or tsv file?

Being able to use the Search API from Python is being worked on at IQSS/dataverse-client-python#21

@eaquigley discussed further and there should be (2) queries:

1. Search all Dataverses for Harvard Affiliation and output the following columns:

• Dataverse Name
• Dataverse Category (helpful for newly created ones in 4.0 at least)
• URL

2. Search for all datasets with author affiliation = Harvard OR contact email="harvard" and output the following columns

• Dataset Title
• Author Names
• Author Affiliation
• Dataverse Name
• Persistent Dataset Id
• Publication Date
