The Open Science Framework (OSF: http://osf.io; supported and maintained by the Center for Open Science - COS: http://centerforopenscience.org/) is a free, open source workflow management service and repository designed for scientists to manage and connect everything across their research process. One of the first add-on connections was Dataverse, which provides value to users through an easy connection as a repository service. This talk will introduce the Dataverse add-on connection and provide a technical view of how it was built and how it connects the OSF and Dataverse.

11. APIs
Written in Python API
■ SWORD API
■ File upload & delete (see waterbutler slide)
■ Native API
■ Get metadata (URL/type/name)
■ DataAccess API
■ File view & download

12. Python
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-client-python is the
official Python package for Dataverse APIs.
Center for Open Science heads the development and the
library is used to integrate the Open Science Framework
(OSF) with Dataverse via an add-on which itself is open
source and listed on the dataverse Apps page.

13. File Streaming
Waterbutler
Python web application for interacting with various file
storage services via a single RESTful API.
