3. Scope of discussion today
How can DMPs contribute to making
research data more FAIR?
• Not all data will have to be made
FAIR
• Not all aspects of a DMP will
directly relate to FAIR (storage,
backups, etc)
Not talking about how to make a
DMP itself FAIR/published

4. FAIR data

• In the context of the Open
Research Data pilot, guidelines are
focused on (open) publishing of the
data
• F: covered well
• A: Not just the data but also the
software, embargo period
• I: covered well
• R: provenance not addressed, QA
is asked and end date for reuse
• Allocation of resources and
responsibilities to make data FAIR

8. Discussion
• Does your current DMP cover all
aspects of FAIR?
• Should it?

these aspects?
• Are skills and infrastructure in
place?
