FS4EU_Deliverable 8.5_Data Management Plan

This document contains the Data Management Plan (DMP) for the FoodSafety4EU project, addressing what and how data - including metadata - will be generated, collected, handled, and preserved in repositories while following the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-useable) as well as possible. According to the European Commission, a DMP is a key element of good data management. A DMP describes the data management life cycle for the data to be collected, processed, and/or generated by a Horizon 2020 project. As part of making research data findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable (FAIR), a DMP should include several information. First is the handling of research data during and after the end of the project. Second is what data will be collected, processed, and/or generated, third, which methodology & standards will be applied and fifth whether data will be shared/made open access. Finally, it should contain information about how data will be curated and preserved during and after the project. The document also includes specification about principles for the platform quality management. The DMP is a living document and can be updated during the project if necessary.
