What is the difference between dataverse and dataset?

Answer

Dataverse is a container for datasets and other dataverses.

Dataset is a container for your data files, documentation and codes. There is no limit to the size and number of folders and files that you can put under one dataset. Each dataset is assigned with a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
