Ever since https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/10694 was merged, an implicit dataset type of "dataset" has been persisted to the database when a dataset is created. As explained at https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.7.1/api/native-api.html#create-a-dataset-with-a-dataset-type-software-etc it's possible to specify an alternate dataset type such as "software", "workflow", "review", etc. if the Dataverse backed can been configured to support them (see https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.7.1/api/native-api.html#list-dataset-types ). The JSON in the guides (see above) starts like this: ``` { "datasetType": "software", "datasetVersion": { "license": { "name": "CC0 1.0", "uri": "http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0" }, "metadataBlocks": { "citation": { "fields": [ { "value": "pyDataverse", "typeClass": "primitive", "multiple": false, "typeName": "title" }, ... ``` The use case for the "review" dataset type is described in this issue about Trusted Data: - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-pm/issues/425
