Description: This workshop will give an overview of best practices for adding contextual description to a data deposit. We’ll use the repository UM Dataverse, but this content can be applied elsewhere as well.
Learning objectives: In this workshop participants will:
- learn how description efforts increase the usefulness of their data deposit
- receive a template for key areas to focus on when adding description to a UM Dataverse project
- Understand the importance of description for projects that control access to the content
