[FEATURE] Allow zipped download of open access data #388

Open Danny-dK opened 3 months ago

Danny-dK commented 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When data is openly published, there is no easy download feature to download data immediately (which is available in for example Zenod, DANS, 4TU, etc).

Describe the solution you'd like

Be able to download as for example zip file. SURF might be inmplementing it as a bagit file?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Connect to the publication address in your client of choice, but can be cumbersome for some researchers.

I agree, but we must consider what should happen if a dataset is very large (>100GB). In that case mounting with webdav is the better option.

Danny-dK commented 2 months ago

True. Perhaps only up until a certain size (whatever size is acceptable). Whenever it is larger than 100GB, webdav is likely quite slow as well, I guess accessing it trough iRODS would then be better? Within the Yoda webportal at the bottom of each webpage there is the irods environment json configuration (if you click on the Yoda version). That type of configuration information could possible be shown on the public data package page? (I've actually never tried to use iCommands for a publicly available data package).
