Roadmap
• History and driving forces behind the effort• Discussion of the DMP and its impact• Partner institutions and perspective• Effort to date• Timeline for moving the project foreword• Discussion
Overview of project
• Goal: streamline the process to produce a credible and high-quality plan for managing data
• Eight institutions coming together• Developing a flexible online tool, DMP Tool, to
help researchers generate data management plans• Leveraging the work of the Digital Management
Plan Online from the DCC• Tool will have multiple phases
Driving forces behind the effort
1. Funding2. “The alternative, a “go it alone” strategy, will
only lead to dangerous isolation… yielding idiosyncratic, expensive, and ultimately unsustainable infrastructures.”
3. Leverage expertise 4. Allow researchers to focus on research (and
benefit from managing data)
(New Roles for New Times, ARL, 2011)
The what and why of a DMPComponents of a DMP1. Content Characteristics: the types of
data, samples, physical collections, software…
2. Standards: the standards to be used for data and metadata format and content
3. Access: policies for access and sharing , provisions for appropriate protection of privacy, confidentiality, security, intellectual property…
4. Sharing: policies and provisions for re-use, re-distribution
5. Archiving: plans for archiving data, samples, and other research products, and for preservation of access to them.
The value of a DMPNational funding agencies have data sharing
policesScientific journals (Nature, Science, and PLoS)
have sharing requirements. Distributing research results may increase
citations (Piwowar et al., 2007)A shared, common data set may help
researchers collaborate and accelerate discoveries (NY Times, 2010).
Sharing research products is increasingly important (Nature, 2009; Science, 2011).
For the researcher: • helps organize data • cultivate quality and efficiency• help with preserving and sharing data

A look at the DMP Tool• Will produce an editable document for submission to a funding
agency• Phase 1 will provide foundation for future releases• Accommodate versions as funding requirements change• Open source -- bitbucket• Allows partner institutions to customize• An emphasis on delivering guidance and help• Four types of users / administrators:

What a researcher can do
User Type 1: DMP Tool Use Case – DataONE Researcher
1.Establish an account
2.View sample plans
3.Preview funder requirements
4.Create, save, edit, publish
plan
5.View, use, past plans
6.Use help (generic and
institution specific)
7.View news and latest
changes
Editor’s Roles and responsibilities
User 2: An Editor contributing to the DMP Tool

Discussion / challenges
• These are early days• Building a tool that will
satisfy the local and general
• Bringing all the stakeholders together
• Funder participation• When will the tool be
available?• How to participate?
