DMPTOOL: INTEGRATION WITH OTHER OPEN SCIENCE SOFTWARE

Thursday, May 23, 2013

A document that describes what you will do with your data during your research

& after you complete your project

What is a data management plan?

From Flickr by spanaut

A natural fit with interests in open

science and reproducibility of

research.

Who requires a DMP?

Pretty soon….everyone.

DMP supplement may include:

1. the types of data, samples, physical collections, software, curriculum materials, and other materials to be produced in the course of the project

2.  the standards to be used for data and metadata format and content (where existing standards are absent or deemed inadequate, this should be documented along with any proposed solutions or remedies)

3.  policies for access and sharing including provisions for appropriate protection of privacy, confidentiality, security, intellectual property, or other rights or requirements

4.  policies and provisions for re-use, re-distribution, and the production of derivatives

5.  plans for archiving data, samples, and other research products, and for preservation of access to them

NSF DMP Requirements

From Grant Proposal Guidelines:

NSF’s Vision*

DMPs and their evaluation will grow & change over time (similar to broader impacts)

Peer review will determine next steps

Community-driven guidelines Different disciplines have different definitions of

acceptable data sharing Flexibility at the directorate and division levels Tailor implementation of DMP requirement

Evaluation will vary with directorate, division, & program officer

*UnofficiallyHelp from Jennifer Schopf, NSF

Challenge

Researchers don’t know the necessary things to meet these new requirements

Institutions are on the hook to ensure compliance

Proper compliance involves integration of many things (ie. Standards, policies, practices, infrastructure, etc.)

Huge funding at stake

DMPTool: Data management planning made EASIER

Data management is complex and requires a dialogue amongst many stakeholders

There’s a range of understanding and available support resources

DMPTool focus is on: simplifying and scaling the common parts, developing a community, and providing functionality and integration with

other tools to advance services when possible

Access

Added to campus single sign-on service

InCommon / Shibboleth Researchers use campus login

New Areas of Functionality in 2013

Granular modeling of

plan templates

Granular modeling of institutions

Role-based user

authorization

DMP life cycle management

Organizational planning activities

Enhanced search and

browse

Institutional branding

Search and reporting for

business intelligence

Advanced administrative

interface

Collaborative plan creation Open API

User stats

Observations: Constant growth in all aspects (good thing!) Always more users than plans = low repeats (bad

thing!)
