The document outlines the OpenDMPs project, focusing on machine-actionable open data management planning, developed collaboratively by OpenAIRE and EUDAT. It details the architecture, features, and operational capabilities of the system, which supports various data management plan (DMP) schemata and emphasizes interoperability with external data providers. The implementation of the core services initiated in August 2017 is currently in the testing phase, aiming for flexible data models and machine-readable DMP exports.

3. • Flexible data model that may support a large range of DMP schemata
Domain discipline data profiles
Currently verified for H2020 – template is provided
• Open architecture for integrating external information providers to the DMP
entities
EEstore abstracts over the behavior and performance of external providers
• Supporting a preliminary machine readable DMP export
currently proprietary format  to adopt RDA recommendation
• Designed for interoperability with data repositories, registries and other
dataset handling services
depositing and verification of dataset(s) and DMP(s)
• REST API for utilization of core components
