Input to Data Management Plans for RC Case Studies

Data Communication and Data Management are key issues of interdisciplinary research projects. The overall success depends on the well-organized data management and data exchange between involved partners. Data management is facilitating the acquisition, provision, integration, management and exchange of heterogeneous digital resources within a scientific and non-scientific multiuser (distributed) environment. Based on the requirements of cross-site data analysis conducted by the four Research Challenges defined in the eLTER PLUS project and the related science cases a first definition of use cases was done, which resulted in a number of inputs for the overall Data Management Plan for eLTER PLUS as well as for the implementation of the eLTER RI. The contributions of WP10 are input the deliverable D11.1 summarising the overall data management plan for the eLTER PLUS project and the eLTER RI. The contributions follow the recommendations of the Data Curation Centre (DCC, 2013) as well as for the provision of data management plans for H2020 projects provided by the European Commission (EC 2020).
