Description
This week @janetm presented a poster called Dataverse 'Installation Personas' at https://conference.eresearch.edu.au/2019-poster-eposter-presentations/ and here's a screenshot:

My question is, how can classify the 50 installations of Dataverse?
When you click ADA on the map and see a pop up like this...
... should the pop up contain some of the characteristics from the poster? Here's what the poster shows for ADA:
- Access: Restricted, conditional Scope: Single-tenant
- Code: Custom
- Storage: Local
- Authentication: Local
- Data types: Qual, Quant, Derived
- Curation: Self-deposit, Archive
- Deposit: Mediated
ADA is not the only installation on the poster. Here are all four:
I'm thinking that perhaps we don't want all of this on the map popup immediately but perhaps some of these attributes could be captured in columns on in the "Crowdsourced information about Dataverse installations" spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bfsw7gnHlHerLXuk7YprUT68liHfcaMxs1rFciA-mEo/edit?usp=sharing
Here's how that spreadsheet looks right now:
What I'm trying to say is that once we have collected the data, we can visualize it in a variety of ways. We can get creative. 😄
In my mind the next step is to start adding columns to the spreadsheet above. Authentication is pretty easy to verify, I think. You just visit each installation check what they have enabled. But is that the most interesting column to add first? Is "big data" more interesting? Do we let installations opt-in to a new column called "big data"? Do we help these installations find their way to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dataverse-big-data ?

Research direction
Start with the Dataverse Installation Personas poster and the “Crowdsourced information about Dataverse installations” spreadsheet, then inspect the ADA map popup shown in the issue. Define which persona attributes belong in the spreadsheet and popup; done requires an agreed schema and corresponding map/data updates.
