description: This Data Management Plan (DMP) aims to outline how the project's datasets will be managed throughout its duration and after the end of the project. It will cover data standards and metadata, sharing, archiving preservation, and security to ensure proper management principles are followed. This DMP describes how research data was collected, generated, shared, and preserved in the project context and after the end of the project, following FAIR data principles. The data generated by the project through the different work packages (WPs) will primarily be utilized to accomplish the objectives outlined in the project proposal. The project will collect data from innovative observations obtained from laboratory and/or field experiments, surveys, and assays specified in the project. Additionally, if needed, existing data from public repositories, digital archives, and databases, such as geographical, climatic, economic, etc., will be incorporated to complement the project's data analysis. The nature of the SOIL OLIVE data set is diverse in line with its multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach. It comprises ecological data (e.g., soil biodiversity, climate, soil physical and chemical properties, land degradation estimates, restoration methodologies, and effectiveness, etc.), agronomic data (e.g., olive yield and quality, land management, tree physiological status, etc.), geographical data (latitude, longitude, elevation, slope, etc.), genomic data (e.g., genetic polymorphisms, genome annotations, genome size, chromosome number, etc.), chemical data (e.g., soil pesticide-toxicity data, soil copper concentration, antibiotic, and microplastic pollution). Lastly, it encompasses socio-economic data such as surveys on sustainability and market trends related to olive oil consumption and health.
The DMP is a public deliverable of the SOIL O-LIVE project. It includes initial, mid-term, and final reports (D1.3, D1.4, and D1.5). Such deliverables will be available (i) at the internal SOIL O-LIVE repository, which constitutes the internal Consortium document and data repository for the project (Google® Drive Tool); and (ii) at the ARGOS platform1. In addition, a permanent link to deliverables is available on the SOIL O-LIVE webpages (https://soilolive.eu).
The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) and the Soil O-live Consortium have a collaboration agreement. As per this agreement, after the SOIL OLIVE project ends, they will transfer relevant data, knowledge except, if any of the information has potential value for exploitation, and indicators to the EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) and the European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC), except for any personal data collected during the project. For this reason, relevant soil data and information will be available also in the ESAC repository (https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/resource-type/datasets).
What is the purpose of the data generation or re-use and its relation to the project's objectives?
SOIL O-LIVE will produce various datasets of different types, including both quantitative and qualitative data. The management of this data will aid in achieving the project's scientific goals and disseminating its results. Two main categories of data management are: 
1) Research objectives. The datasets in this category provide all the necessary data for users to reproduce the scientific results of the project. This encompasses experimental data (including standardized analysis methods and agreed protocols), observations, genome annotations, computer simulations, and data production and analysis codes. Likewise, it includes all relevant metadata necessary for EUSO development and validation of indicators for "Soil health" as listed in the implementation plan of the EU-Soil Mission.
2) Outreach, dissemination, and communications data. This collection includes preprints, technical reports, conference presentations or abstract, educational resources, and data related to outreach, dissemination, and communications. However, if any of the information has potential value for exploitation, particularly for the new prototype developed by UCLM, it will be protected by patents, copyrights, or other appropriate means.
