- 13. Data Management Plans Projectsparticipating in the pilot will be required to develop a Data Management plan (DMP), in which they will specify what data will be open. • What types of data will the project generate/collect? • What standards will be used? • How will this data be shared/made available? If not, why? • How will this data be curated and preserved? Note that the Commission does NOT require applicants to submit a DMP at the proposal stage. DMPs are a deliverable for those participating in the pilot.

Editor's Notes
- #6 The Royal Society report ‘Science as an Open Enterprise’ emphasises that much of the growth of scientific understanding is due to open practices. Being open about your work and encouraging feedback from others is at the heart of scientific practice. The report calls for ‘intelligent openness’ – data shouldn’t just be accessible, they need to be intelligible by others so they can assess and reuse them.
- #7 Certain research communities have also seen the benefit of sharing data as it speeds up the process of discovery. This article shows how researchers in the field of Alzheimer’s research have agreed as a community to share data immediately to make scientific breakthroughs.
- #8 There’s also an economic benefit, as seen by the case of the NASA landsat satellite images. These were sold until 2008 for $600 a scene. Now they’re freely available and used by Google Earth. Previously they sold 19,000 images a year, whereas now they transmit 2.1 million. The revenue has gone up incredibly too from $11.4 million to over $100 million with an estimated value of $935 million. The release has also stimulated the development of applications from companies worldwide. This case study comes from the Royal Society Report on Science as an Open Enterprise.
- #10 The background to this is about making the most of the data that has been created through publicly funded research. The guidelines speak of: Improved quality of results Greater efficiency Faster to market = faster growth Improved transparency of the scientific process
- #12 For those that do take part in the pilot, the starting point is to make all data that underpin publications open. After that, it’s for researchers to define what else should be shared and can be made open. This should be outlined in the DMP. Sometimes sharing is not appropriate (e.g. due to ethical rules of personal data, intellectual property protection, commercial restrictions etc). It’s fine to apply restrictions in such cases. This could be an embargo period prior to publication or while a patent is sought, or controlling access and re-use to protect participants’ identities (e.g. via the use of secure data services / data enclaves or data sharing agreements). Restrictions should be outlined up-front in the DMP.
- #13 So the specific requirements on projects that participate in the pilot are to: - Deposit data in a repository Enable reuse via open licensing Provide any tools (or at least info on them) needed to validate the data The focus is planning for data sharing and then facilitating that through deposit, licensing and enabling reproducibility
- #17 The Open Knowledge Foundation suggests four simple steps to make data open. First off you need to decide what to share. Not all data can be made openly available due to commercial restrictions or sensitivities. Once you’ve decided what to share, determine what IP exists and apply a suitable licence. You should then make the data available in a suitable format so others can bulk download it. Remember that for it to be useful you want to share appropriate metadata and documentation too. Using repositories is useful to make sure your data are properly managed and preserved for the long-term. The final step is to make your data discoverable. Put it online, tell others about it and add details to various registries so it gets found.
- #18 Guidance from the DCC can also help researchers to understand data licensing. This guide outlines the pros and cons of each approach e.g. the limitations of some CC options
- #22 The RDRDS will work in partnership with a network of UK subject-specific data centres and university-based institutional data repositories to harvest dataset metadata records, and so promote the discoverability of research data held by all partner institutions. Partner institutions will remain responsible for the selection and stewardship of the datasets. There are already services doing similar things, but none have quite the same scope. In fact we have the potential to complement existing services (see Figure 1), by: collating records from both data centres and institutional repositories; normalising and deduplicating, to provide a unified search interface; ultimately make the records visible in other places researchers might look.
- #24 All share common challenges: – Reference models and architectures – Persistent data identifiers – Metadata management – Distributed data sources – Data interoperability
