Overarching Data Management Plan

This document provides the data management plan for both the eLTER PPP and eLTER PLUS projects. These 5 years projects prepare the eLTER network for the implementation of a sustainable RI through the ESFRI process and undertake scientific challenges to test drive the prototype RI services. The data management plan describes the overarching concepts of the data management components for the eLTER RI both in existence and being build. The report follows the EC H2020 DMP template to cover all aspects of the acquisition, description, curation and delivery of data following FAIR principles. The eLTER data management plan will be used as a living document by the projects to refine the planning of data management for the RI as the projects develop new data policies, governance and infrastructure over the next 5 years.
