Deliverable No. 6.1 Data Management Plan Version 2

This plan is based on the H2020 FAIR Data Management Plan (DMP) template designed to be applicable to any H2020 project that produces, collect or processes research data. This is the same plan as OpenAIRE is referring to in their guidance material. The purpose of the Data Management Plan is to describe the data that will be created and how, as well as the plans for sharing and preservation of the data generated. This plan is a living document that will be updated during the project.

APPLICATE follows a metadata-driven approach where a physically distributed number of data centres are integrated using standardised discovery metadata and interoperability interfaces for metadata and data. The APPLICATE Data portal, providing a unified search interface to all APPLICATE will also be able to host data. APPLICATE promotes free and open access to data in line with the European Open Research Data Pilot (OpenAIRE).

Within this plan an overview of the production chains for model simulations is provided as well as an initial outline of dissemination. This version of the plan is an update on the first version submitted in June 2017. A second update to the plan are scheduled for October 2019.
