InTheMED D1.4 Data Management Plan. Version 1.0

The Data Management Plan is the deliverable number D1.4 of the “Innovative and Sustainable Groundwater Management in the Mediterranean” Grant Agreement Number 1923 project.

This document seeks to provide guidance on how to manage the data that will be collected and produced within the InTheMED project. Following the recommendations provided by the European Commission, this deliverable has been prepared considering the template of the “Guidelines on FAIR Data Management in Horizon 2020”, and it covers:

• Type, format and size of collected, processed and generated data.
• Handling of the data during and after the end of the project.
• Definition of the dissemination level of the data: open access or confidential.
• Methodologies and standards to be applied.
• Curation and preservation of the data during and after the end of the project.

This document is the first version of the Data Management Plan and there will be, at least, two more deliverable versions, at mid-term and at project end. At this early stage in the evolution of the project, there are several questions regarding the data that cannot be fully answered because they are still being debated, however, they will be detailed in next versions of this document.
