Authors / creators

No authors added yet. Croissant records creators with both a name and an email.

Upload the data file

Upload a CSV. Column names are sanitized to valid identifiers, because they become Croissant field ids.

Generate Croissant metadata

Builds a Croissant JSON-LD document from the CSV's columns and the details above, validates it, and uploads it alongside the data.

Fill in the dataset name, version and license in step 1.

Publish to the repository

Records the dataset in the UW–Madison Data Repository, a secure internal-access PostgreSQL database at services.dsi.wisc.edu.

Generate metadata in step 3 first.
