Meeting objectives

The main aim of this session is to inform everyone on the recent developments regarding machine-actionable DMPs and to identify new areas that require coordinated action. Specifically we want to:

  • Present recent updates to the DMP Common standard

  • Demonstrate adoptions for the DMP Common standard

  • Encourage adoption of the DMP Common standard

  • Discuss joint actions

Target audience

We invite anyone with an interest in the success of research data management planning to participate. For example, please join us if you are…

  • a DMP platform provider, repository, journal or other service provider – to discuss how well the maDMP standard supports the exchange of information about research projects’ data management requirements and anticipated outputs

  • a research funder/ policy maker – to share your expectations of how wider exposure of DMP content may improve the achievement of policy goals towards FAIR outputs

  • a research facilitator – to discuss the institutional support processes that DMP exposure would benefit or otherwise impact on

  • a researcher – to let us know what you would hope to achieve by sharing some or all of your DMP content with your peers, potential collaborators and service providers, or concerns about the consequences of doing so

No prior preparation is needed, but some familiarity with the provided links is definitely helpful.

Short Group Status

Active DMP IG  is a forum for discussing requirements for active (i.e. able to evolve and be monitored) data management planning, and identifying developments needed to support this evolution more effectively for all stakeholders in data management planning, including funders, institutions, service providers and research projects.

DMP Common Standard WG developed a standard for machine-actionable plans (maDMP) to better enable exchange of information between the platforms and people involved in implementing a DMP.
