Machine actionable DMP priorities

• Common standards and protocols

• Utilising PIDs for automatic reporting etc

• Capacity planning (institutional & data centre)

• Increasing data discovery & reuse

• Supporting evaluation & monitoring

• Share/publish/deposit DMPs

Improve the experience for all by exchanging information across research systems and embedding DMPs in existing workflows

Define a minimum data model

Mappings

Common format?

Service join-up & capacity planning

2-way info exchange between DMP & repository

• Specify place of deposit

• Notify repository

• Share data volume & requirements

• Facilitate deposit by prepopulating forms

• Update DMP with dataset metadata & PID

DMP

Repository

Mapping the institutional landscape

• What systems are in place?

• Where are these held? e.g. library, research office, ethics…

• What information is gathered and could be exchanged?

• What does the institution want / need

– event tracking e.g. award made

– automated messaging

– allocation of resources

– harvesting info for reporting

– enable data deposit…

Utilising PIDs

Potential to use EC grant IDs in plans e.g.

• Harvest grant IDs from OpenAIRE API

• Provide look up when entering project details

• Prepopulate metadata fields

• Enable join up of DMP with other outputs

Next steps: maDMP pilots
