Description
[Sorry if my issues sound like a broken record! I hope more contentproviders will open up BinderHub for more communities.]
Proposed change
Support DRYAD (or stash) as a content provider (DOI + URL-based): https://datadryad.org/
Their guide to data sharing explicitly mentions code + data, see https://datadryad.org/docs/QuickstartGuideToDataSharing.pdf, so they should be a good fit.
The biggest problem right now is that I did not yet find a suitable repository (chicken and egg problem?!), and DRYAD is not for free unless you are affiliated with specific institutions.
Anyone here who can upload a test binder to DRYAD?
Relevant API documentation:
- https://datadryad.org/api/v2/docs/#/default/get_datasets__doi_
- https://datadryad.org/api/v2/docs/#/default/get_datasets__doi__download (zipped and direct file download possible, didn't see any limitation on ZIP archive size)
Alternative options
None? :fist_raised:
Who would use this feature?
DRYAD is widely known in some research communities, e.g. ecology, so any researcher publishing a dataset or workflow there would be familiar with it.
How much effort will adding it take?
1 day, with the current examples of contentproviders as a boilerplate.
Who can do this work?
A developer familiar with the content provider implementation.
