Whatley, L.; Kvanneid, A.J. (2024). Initial Data Management Plan. Deliverable – D1.3 under the WP1 of the BLUE CONNECT project (GA n° 1011656759). Blue Connect: [s.l.]. 24 pp.
This document is the initial data management plan (DMP) of the BLUE CONNECT project. The DMP presents a summary of the data that will be collected, generated and (re)used in the project and explains the purposes of using this data. It also includes a definition of the data and outlines the steps necessary to maximise the FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) of the project’s outputs. Issues concerning ethics and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are also addressed. Key data management issues are discussed, including common (meta)data standards and formats, the data flow to be followed throughout the project, data quality control, (meta)data vocabulary, publication policy, and data licensing. Therefore, the DMP provides data management guidelines for the partners to follow. It should be considered a living document; updates will be made throughout the project’s lifetime with more specific information on data collected, generated, and used in BLUE CONNECT. These updates will be used to write the Final DMP (D1.4) in month 42, which will also outline data management after the end of the project.
