Data Management Plan

In line with EU guidelines, RUSTIK has produced this Data Management Plan (DMP), a living document to be updated throughout the project. In accordance with guidelines for FAIR Data Management, the project aims to ensure that research data are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. The Data Management Plan describes what data the RUSTIK project will generate, whether and how it will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use and how it will be curated and preserved after the end of the project. The data will be systemically managed and stored for the use in the project in general as well as for future research activities.

The RUSTIK Data Management Plan (DMP) aims to provide a strategy for managing data generated and collected during the project and to optimise access to and re-use of research data. RUSTIK will require the collection, processing and storage of a large variety of data sets. Specially, substantial amounts of data will be collected in WP1-4. As the data identification and collection activities are still ongoing, the initial DMP can currently only provide an incomplete picture of the datasets that are needed in the different Living Labs and in the RUSTIK European Core Database.

MCRIT is responsible for preparing the present document and for reviewing and updating it regularly.

While the focus of the first version of the DMP is mainly on data to be collected, the next version will also report on data produced in the context of the project and non-sensitive data that can be made publicly available in open data repositories and registered at relevant catalogues.
