D7.3 - Data Management Plan (DMP), 2nd version

Data Management (WP 7, Task 7.5. Leader: UNIBO. Participants: All. M 1-48). A DMP will be established to support the data management life cycle for all data which will be collected, processed, or generated by the project. The DMP provides the identification elements and the descriptions of the data sets, and it includes details regarding how the research all the research data collected and generated within the “CARINA” project and how they will be preserved after it is completed. It explains the way research data are handled, organized, licensed, and made openly available to the public, and how they will be preserved after the project is completed. It will specify which methodologies and standards will be used in the data creation and management and how and when the data will be shared and made open for re-use. The DMP will be a dynamic document in which all partners will actively participate throughout all the project duration. The current DMP represents the first 36 months of the project (D7.3) and updated and more detailed DMP versions will be delivered when necessary. The DMP also provides motivations when versions or parts of the project research data cannot be openly shared on account of third-party copyright issues, confidentiality, or personal data protection requirements or when open dissemination could jeopardize the project achievements. The initial DMP was composed in M6 (UNIBO, WP7) explaining in detail how the data generated in the project will be collected, processed, shared, and made accessible by project partners. The present DMP was updated (M36) with changes in the consortium policies (e.g., new innovation potential, decision to file for a patent, new consortium members joining or old members leaving). A final DMP will be submitted in M48. The data will be deposited in a trusted repository within the deadlines set out on this DMP. This DMP reflects the current state of the art of the “CARINA” project. However, the details and the final number of the project data sets may vary during the research. The variations will be recorded in final version of the DMP.
