In this presentation, we will explain why Dataverse happened to be the best compromise for us given our requirements and resources to develop an institutional data repository: Data Inra (
https://data.inra.fr), how we deployed it, which difficulties we encountered and how we overcame (or are expecting to overcome) them.
Data Inra is now one of our key data management and sharing service, contributing to make our data more compatible with the FAIR principles. We will describe the services we offer on top of it to support the users and foster good data management and sharing practices. Data Inra is an example for other research organizations in France and several of them are planning to adopt the Dataverse tool. We are eager to share our perspectives and discuss how we could better contribute to the roadmap of Dataverse.
