RDA/US Data Share Fellowship Reviewed existing work on active DMPs Identified gaps and priorities Presenting ideas at various fora www.slideshare.net/StephanieSimms/ making-dmps-actionable-and-public

CERN Active DMPs workshop 3 day workshop in June 2016 Consider DMPs in different disciplines, countries, funders Identify issues and how to get things moving Aim to develop roadmap to Change the way that funders expect DMPs to be produced Ensure DMPs - are created, evaluated, monitored – to enable data to be exploited immediately and over the long term Support (EU and other) Data Principles https://indico.cern.ch/event/520120

Discussion points at CERN Understand how DMPs can help identify synergies across projects and disciplines DMPs should facilitate researchers’ work and act as a discovery tool Active data management planning can deal with the change of plans Role of DMP in encouraging dialogue between funders, service providers, and scientists https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ulZv_ HQy1vLw2srQE2jtT3RpzD_wQwdqHXY80hdqcRU/edit#

Actions from CERN meeting Run more events! Collect concrete use cases Contact funders to understand their needs Identify benefits to data creators / funders / society Try to re-use existing standards/mechanisms Make a series of good DMPs public

Utopia workshop 47 participants from 16 countries Funders Developers Librarians Service providers Researchers Understand research workflows Develop use cases for maDMPs Set priorities for future work www.dcc.ac.uk/events/workshops/postcard-future-tools-and-services-perfect-dmp-world

Uses cases and prioritisation Interoperability with research systems Institutional perspective Repository use cases Evaluation & monitoring Leveraging PIDs

maDMP priority areas Common standards and protocols Leveraging PIDs for automatic reporting etc Capacity planning (institutional & data centre) Increasing data discovery & reuse Supporting evaluation & monitoring Share/publish/deposit DMPs
