EOSC-Pillar D1.2 Data Management Plan

This Data Management Plan (DMP) is a structured guideline that describes the comprehensive lifecycle of data, from gathering to storage, preservation, distribution and re-use scenarios. Therefore, this DMP can offer guidance to data producers and data stewards involved in the project EOSC-Pillar for all relevant questions concerning data (e.g. the content of data, related metadata or software applications) generated during various project activities. In addition, formulating and following the DMP paves the way for long-term accessibility and subsequent reusability of the digital assets. Following the convention, this DMP is a living document and therefore versioned by definition.

In more detail, this DMP provides a description of what (kind of) data will be collected along the entire lifecycle of the project. Furthermore, we describe how the data will be processed both during the project and after its completion. This description includes statements about the provenance of data, contextual statements, infrastructures used to store and manage data, as well as information regarding the publication, citation, long-term accessibility and, if necessary, deletion of data during or after the research lifecycle. If personal data is processed, we refer to documents handling legal and ethical aspects, including statements on data protection, terms of use, copyright attribution and exploitation rights for further reuse, and licensing.
