A Dataset is a particular set of data for a particular research dataset (this can include research data, code and documentation).
Datasets have an associated metadata record (also referred to as cataloguing information or data documentation). This metadata provides contextual information about the dataset.

A Dataverse represents the set of one or more Datasets or Dataverses, and may also be referred to as a collection. Researchers can create Dataverses for their own research projects, and/or directly deposit Datasets in their Institutional Dataverse.
