Identification of core elements for a machine-actionable Data Management Plan metadata schema in the NFDI
From 28 to 30 October 2024, ZB MED Information Centre for Life Sciences organized a hackathon in Cologne within the scope of NFDI4DataScience with the purpose of identifying core elements for a machine-actionable Data Managemnt Plan (maDMP) across the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). We used as starting/reference point the maDMP application profile from the Research Data Alliance DMP Commons Working Group. Here we report on the activities and findings. The dataset corresponding to crosswalks can be found at DOI:10.5281/zenodo.15129830 Abstract: The interoperability of data management plans (DMPs) across platforms and application profiles plays a key role in the implementation of good scientific practice and of the FAIR data principles. The application profile for "machine-actionable DMPs" published by the Research Data Alliance (RDA) marks an important step in this direction. More recently, networking initiatives such as the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) are collecting and generating templates for DMPs based on the needs of different subject-related communities and implemented in different DMP software tools. In a two-day hackathon we analyzed the RDA maDMP application profile, discussed the meaning and applicability of the proposed elements and aligned them to selected community-driven schemas and platforms for DMPs and for metadata. The results are available in the form of crosswalks and are intended to pave the way towards an maDMP based on schema.org to improve information exchange between DMP platforms and other research data services, and alignment between DMPs and Software Management Plans.
