International approached to DMPs - Sarah Jones (DCC) remote presented at the DMP workshop at eResaerch Australasia October 2017

1. International approaches
to DMPs

#ActiveDMPs

2. DMPRoadmap project
Build a single DMP system to:
1. Harness community development efforts
2. Create next-generation, machine-actionable DMPs
https://github.com/DMPRoadmap/roadmap

3. Planning &
administration
Create, analyse,
manage data
Publishing & reuse
• DMP on periphery
• Often done at grant stage and not looked at again
• Opportunities to (re)use information being missed
• Disconnected & unlinked

4. 47 participants from 16 countries
• Funders
• Developers
• Librarians
• Service providers
• Researchers
Understand research workflows
Develop use cases for maDMPs
Set priorities for future work

5. Outcomes and requirements
• Interoperability with research systems
• Leveraging PIDs
• Institutional perspective
• Repository use cases
• Data discovery and reuse
• Evaluation and monitoring
• Disciplinary tailoring
• Publishing DMPs
https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e13086

6. Capacity planning
• 2-way info exchange between DMP & repository
• Specify place of deposit
• Notify repository service
• Share data volume & requirements
• Facilitate deposit by pre-populating forms
• Update DMP with dataset metadata & PID
DMP
Repository

7. DMP common standards WG
RDA group developing a model that:
• Reuses existing standards
• Uses PIDs wherever possible
• Uses controlled vocabularies
• Develops own concepts only when needed
Runs for next 18 months

8. Domain tailoring
• Structured questionnaires or protocols with options based on domain
• Suggest repositories based on product / data type
• E.g
– Science Europe domain protocols
– ELIXIR data stewardship wizard
– IEDA / ezDMP tool for NSF-funded earth science
https://www.rd-alliance.org/group/active-data-management-plans-ig/wiki/plenary-10-session

9. Integrating registries / directories
e.g. RDA disciplinary metadata standards directory

11. FAIR data & Horizon 2020
• European Commission now requires DMP
– Living document, updated at regular points
– Created by month 6 of project not grant
application stage
• Pilot is focused on FAIR data

12. OpenAIRE survey on EC approach
“Initially it looks as an administrative
exercise, but I find it very useful since,
although I have an idea of what data I will
collect in my project, this makes me reflect
on the best format to present them, where
to make them available, etc.”
• Positive response to DMPs
• Good understanding of FAIR
• Certain terms (e.g. interoperability)
confusing
• Top priorities: suggesting standards,
repos and providing examples

13. 1. Data summary
2. FAIR data
2.1 Making data findable, including provisions for metadata
2.2 Making data openly accessible
2.3 Making data interoperable
2.4 Increase data re-use (through clarifying licences)
3. Allocation of resources
4. Data security
5. Ethical aspects
6. Other issues

FAIR DMPs or FAIR data?

14. Summary
Think of DMPs as key elements of
a networked data management
ecosystem:
– connected via a shared
vocabulary
– actionable by humans and
software
– versioned
– public
