#ActiveDMPs

By Josiah Martin public domain

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

RDA/US Data Share Fellowship

• Reviewed existing work on active DMPs

• Identified gaps and priorities

• Presenting ideas at various fora

CERN Active DMPs workshop• 3 day workshop in June 2016

• Consider DMPs in different disciplines, countries, funders

• Identify issues and how to get things moving

• Aim to develop roadmap to– Change the way that funders expect DMPs to be produced – Ensure DMPs - are created, evaluated, monitored – to enable data to be

exploited immediately and over the long term – Support (EU and other) Data Principles

https://indico.cern.ch/event/520120

Discussion points at CERN• Understand how DMPs can help identify

synergies across projects and disciplines

• DMPs should facilitate researchers’ work and act as a discovery tool

• Active data management planning can deal with the change of plans

• Role of DMP in encouraging dialogue between funders, service providers, and scientists

Actions from CERN meeting

• Run more events!

• Collect concrete use cases

• Contact funders to understand their needs

• Identify benefits to data creators / funders / society

• Try to re-use existing standards/mechanisms

• Make a series of good DMPs public

47 participants from 16 countries• Funders• Developers• Librarians• Service providers• Researchers

Understand research workflows

Develop use cases for maDMPs

Set priorities for future work

Utopia workshop

Uses cases and prioritisation• Interoperability with research systems• Institutional perspective• Repository use cases• Evaluation & monitoring• Leveraging PIDs

maDMP priority areas• Common standards and protocols

• Leveraging PIDs for automatic reporting etc

• Capacity planning (institutional & data centre)

• Increasing data discovery & reuse

• Supporting evaluation & monitoring

• Share/publish/deposit DMPs

White paper for comments

• Share your needs

• Help us iterate

• Provide your time, ideas, resources to help pilot work
