RDA DMP Common Standards WG Workshop
Domain specific extensions for machine-actionable Data Management Plans
Domain specific extensions for machine-actionable Data Management Plans
In this half day workshop we will focus on the common data model for machine-actionable DMPs and will seek to identify which domain specific extensions must be implemented to fulfil requirements of stakeholders, such as digital libraries and repositories. We will discuss which information they can provide and which information they can expect, and how existing and future systems and services can support and potentially automate this information flow.
We will use results of open consultations and prototypes developed by the Research Data Alliance (RDA) DMP Common Standards working group to facilitate the discussion. The results of the workshop will also contribute to the work of the RDA DMP Common Standards.
The workshop will be run in an interactive mode, with minimal amount of presentations and with focus on free exchange of ideas during moderated sessions.
The workshop report will be published in an open access journal giving credit to all workshop participants. The workshop is a great chance for everyone to become involved in the activities of the Research Data Alliance.
This workshop will be held in conjunction with the main TPDL 2018 conference. You will be able to register for it at the same time that you register for the TPDL 2018 Conference.
The current manifestation of a DMP—a static document often created before a project begins—only contributes to the perception that DMPs are an annoying administrative exercise. What they really are—or at least should be—is an integral part of research practice, since today most research across all disciplines involves data, code, and other digital components.
The title of the event is "Data Stewardship Realized: From Planning to Action. Towards the Establishment of an Austrian Research Infrastructure". It is being realized through a collaboration between RDA Europe, the University of Vienna and the Vienna University of Technology.
We still need a human-readable narrative, but there is now widespread recognition that, underneath, the DMP could have more thematic, machine-actionable richness with added value for all stakeholders: researchers, funders, repository managers, ICT providers, librarians, etc.
Research Data Alliance working group on DMP Common Standards works to implement machine-actionable DMPs. The larger goal is to improve the experience for all involved by exchanging information across research tools and systems and embedding DMPs in existing workflows. As a result, parts of the DMPs can be automatically generated and shared with other collaborators or funders. To achieve this goal we need:
Everyone who is considered a stakeholder within the research data lifecycle is welcomed. For example, you should come, if you are…
