dvHubId

[pdurbin]

Currently, the "dvHubId" can look like this:

"dvHubId":"DVN_BOREALIS_2012"

This is problematic for three reasons:

• Dataverse installations have changed their names. Scholars Portal is now Borealis.
• What if we got the launch year wrong?
• DVN is the name of the 3.x software.

Let's look at one more:

"dvHubId": "DVN_REPOSITORIO_DE_DATOS_DE_INVESTIGACIÓN_DE_LA_UNIVERSIDAD_NACIONAL_DE_LA_PLATA_2023"

Problems here include:

• quite long
• accented characters

My understand of dvHubId is that it's suppose to never change. Can we just use an integer? Or maybe a UUID? Or something like a UUID but a bit shorter if we want to keep them short?

Here's some additional discussion from Slack:
