Introduction to Dataverse APIs

While Dataverse supports file uploads through its standard web interface, there are a variety of big data use cases where the Dataverse API and tools that use it can simplify the upload process. DVUploader, a Java command-line tool, and DVWebloader, a plug-in for Dataverse, are two tools that can handle larger files and larger numbers of files, upload files from a whole folder tree (retaining the folder paths in Dataverse), and/or only upload new files. In this presentation, we'll describe these tools and how to use them to address some example use cases, and provide a brief overview of the underlying APIs.
