Common policy framework on scientific data

The increasingly highprofile of issues surrounding preservation and access of research data makes it important to work towards harmonisation of data policesacross the research base. PaN-data brings together a significant number of major world class European research infrastructures to lay the foundation for a fully integrated, pan-European, information infrastructure supporting the complete scientific cycle from experiment definition to publicatione. The participating facilities are used by researchers in universities, publicly funded research entities, and industry.This document describes the common framework for scientific data management at photon and neutron facilities.
