From Templates to Interoperability with the NFDI DMP Template Framework

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

Achieving FAIRness for research data implies the application of best practices and machine-actionable metadata. Data management plans (DMPs) as a starting point for research data management activities can support both, when implemented as machine-actionable DMPs (maDMP). maDMP templates and tools tailored to community-specific needs communicate best practices and standardised workflows, provide up-to-date information on service offerings, and connect all stakeholders involved in the RDM process. In order to achieve this interconnection, a standard for DMP templates is needed that services can rely upon.The NFDI basic service in development, DMP4NFDI, works towards this goal by developing an NFDI-wide standard for DMPs, the NFDI DMP Template Framework, and providing a common tool connecting consortia and their RDM services: RDMO, the Research Data Management Organiser. DMP4NFDI is based on the work of the cross-consortia working group infra-dmp in NFDI section Common Infrastructures, and the vision developed in its workshops and discussions.
