This page describe data management plan for the research data that will be generated within EGI-Engage. For each dataset, it describes the type of data and their origin, the related metadata standards, the approach to sharing and target groups, and the approach to archival and preservation.

Deliverable 2.4 Data management plan

This document will be further developed before the mid-term and final project reviews:

• February 2016
• February 2017
• August 2017

with more detailed information related to the discoverability, accessibility and exploitation of the data.

Rules

The obligations arising from the Grant Agreement of the projects are (see article 29.3):

Regarding the digital research data generated in the action (‘data’), the beneficiaries must:

1. deposit in a research data repository and take measures to make it possible for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate — free of charge for any user — the following: the data, including associated metadata, needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications as soon as possible; other data, including associated metadata, as specified and within the deadlines laid down in the 'data management plan';
2. provide information — via the repository — about tools and instruments at the disposal of the beneficiaries and necessary for validating the results (and — where possible — provide the tools and instruments themselves).

As an exception, the beneficiaries do not have to ensure open access to specific parts of their research data if the achievement of the action's main objective, as described in Annex 1, would be jeopardised by making those specific parts of the research data openly accessible. In this case, the data management plan must contain the reasons for not giving access.
