AROMA Introduction

The AROMA (ARP RO-Crate Manager) is a software component based on Describo for editing RO-Crate data packages. It addresses a limitation in Harvard Dataverse data repositories where, although metadata at the package level is supported, assigning metadata to files uploaded to the repository is quite limited. The documentation consists of the following sections:

  • The Historical Overview briefly explains why this software is needed;
  • The RO-Crate Quickstart chapter describes the concepts of technology used in AROMA;
  • The User Guide provides instructions on how to use the AROMA software;
  • The Error Handling section demonstrates the error reporting mechanism built into AROMA;
  • The Contact chapter includes contact information of the developers and operators.
