Progressing Machine Actionable Data Management Plans in DMPRoadmap

Machine Actionable DMP Workshop

Our DMPonline team and partners delviered a series of talks and open discussion covering Machine Actionable Data Management Plans (maDMPs), the role of maDMPs in European Open Science and what is currently possible within DMPRoadmap. The workshop ran alongside a series of events ahead of the Research Data Alliance Plenary 20 (RDA P20).

Background

DMP Roadmap is a Data Management Planning tool. The codebase is open source and is available at github.com/DMPRoadmap . Management and development of DMPRoadmap is jointly provided by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) and the University of California Curation Center (UC3). The DCC & UC3 work closely with research funders and universities to produce a tool that generates active DMPs and caters for the whole lifecycle of a project, from bid-preparation stage through to completion.

The DCC provides the DMPonline service available for free to users all over the world, and also offers subscription models for institutional and national services. DMPonline is a web-based tool that supports over 100,000 users to develop data management plans.

The DMPTool is run out of the California Digital Library and supports over 370 participating organizations in the United States and internationally. Thanks to support from the National Science Foundation, the DMPTool team has developed several new features and workflows to support machine-actionable DMPs.

More recently, the DMPRoadmap team has been joined by teams from Canada and France, which provide the national services DMPAssistant and, respectively, OPIDoR.
