D1.2 Data Management Plan Project

This deliverable presents the PLOTO project consortium's plan on handling research data during and after the end of the project, the types of data collected, processed and/or generated, the methodology and standards to be applied, sharing or open access and how the data will be curated/preserved in line with the Horizon Europe Guidelines and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles. The deliverable presents detailed information on the project data lifecycle, privacy, as well as the project’s policies for data collection, storage, access, sharing, protection, retention, and destruction.
In more detail, the PLOTO Data Management Plan (DMP) consolidates and structures the project’s processes, procedures and activities to support an effective and efficient data management methodology associated to the project schedule, needs and scope. This begins with a detailed examination of the data that are present and relevant to PLOTO activities, WPs, Tasks and pilots, as well as their lifecycle and all other related principles for complying to their FAIR treatment (conventions, openness, metadata, reusability etc.). Following this, the data management is positioned at a high operational layer, clarifying and positioning data management ownerships and responsibilities for each WP leader, partners etc., whilst also defining the data categories and special treatment for each. PLOTO will fully comply with and respect GDPR policies through an agreed holistic policy for handling all data within the project’s activities and across the project’s WPs and tasks.
