Abstract
Description
The Digital Object LifeCycle—or DOLCe—project connecting the Texas Data Repository (TDR)
Dataverse to TACC storage was funded by the University of Texas at Austin’s Planet Texas
2050 (PT2050) Grand Challenge program. Three of the stakeholder organizations described
above partnered to complete this work: TACC, UTL, and TDL.
Our aim was to facilitate the publication and preservation of larger data in the TDR platform.1
With PT2050 funding, we focused on offering an option for larger data publication to a limited
community of researchers. Our team completed development work on the Dataverse software,
which enabled the TDR to manage multiple data stores. We then connected the TDR Dataverse
to TACC systems as a location for large data storage, and offered larger data publication
services to the PT2050 community of researchers as a pilot.
