**Executive summary**

</th> </tr> </table>

As stated in the proposal, the WP 3.3 takes part in the “Pilot on Open
Research Data  1  ” as suggested in the H2020 guidelines. It aims at making
final results and when possible, intermediate results of this WP (mainly in
the form of spatial datasets) available for free to access, reuse, repurpose
and redistribute.

This deliverable aims at defining the specific data management plan (DMP) for
the WP 3.3 which is a key element to comply with the Open Research Data
requirement. This document follows the guidelines on the “FAIR Data Management
in Horizon 2020”  2  . It describes the data that will be produced by the
WP3.3, the file formats and the metadata standard used and the sharing and the
archiving strategy.

The DMP for the overall project has been described in D8.4 and the DMP
described here is specific to the WP 3.3.

This document is the first version of the DMP. It will be updated over the
course of the project to add details on the data that will be published or if
there are some changes in the consortium policies or consortium composition.

**Project Name:** DMP for the work package 3.3 of the DECISIVE Project, funded
by Horizon 2020 ("spatial approach for designing the decentralized urban
biowaste valorization network") DMP title

**Grant Title:** 689229

**Principal Investigator / Researcher:** Irstea

**Description:** The growing attractiveness of cities leads to increasing
population, thus rising energetic and food demands in urban areas. This makes
urban waste management increasingly challenging, both in terms of logistics
and environmental or health impacts. To decrease the cities’ environmental
impacts and to contribute to a better resilience of urban areas towards energy
or food supply crisis, waste management systems have to be improved to
increase recycling of resources and local valorization. In this context, The
DECISIVE project proposes to change the present urban metabolism for organic
matter (foods, plants, etc.), energy and biowaste to a more circular economy
and to assess the impacts of these changes on the whole waste management
cycle. Thus, the challenge will be to shift from an urban “grey box”, implying
mainly goods importation and extra-urban waste management, to a cooperative
organization of intra- and peri-urban networks enabling circular local and
decentralized valorization of biowaste, through energy and bio products
production. Such a new waste management paradigm is expected to increase the
sustainability of urban development by: 1-promoting citizens awareness about
waste costs and values; 2-promoting renewable energy production and use in the
city; 3-developing an industrial ecology approach that can promote the
integration between urban and peri-urban areas, by providing valuable
agronomic by-products for urban agriculture development and so improving the
balance of organic products and waste in the city; 4-developing new business
opportunities and jobs. In order to achieve these objectives, the project
DECISIVE will develop and demonstrate eco-innovative solutions, addressed to
waste operators and public services.

The work package 3.3 of the project, handled by Irstea, is focused on _a
spatial approach for designing the decentralized urban biowaste valorization
network_ . It also takes part in the “ _Pilot on Open Research Data_ ” as
suggested in the H2020 guidelines. Therefore final results and when possible,
intermediate results of the 3.3 work package (mainly in the form of spatial
datasets) will be free to access, reuse, repurpose and redistribute.

**DATA SUMMARY**

</th> </tr> </table>

The DECISIVE project proposes to change the present urban metabolism for
organic matter to a more circular economy (food waste, partly in connection
with further digestible biowastes to heat and power from biogas and further
material products, resulting from SSF processes) and to assess the impacts of
these changes on the whole waste management cycle. One objective of the
project, addressed by the work package 3.3, is to **design the decentralized
urban biowaste valorization network** based on **a spatial analysis** .

In a first step, **data will be gathered** about:

  * Locations and if possible characteristics of the sources of organic matter 

  

  * Locations and characteristics of the potential output for the products coming out of the process (energy, digestate, by-products) 

  

  * Location of rural, peri-urban and urban farms in the target areas 

  

  * Location of the current biowaste treatment systems (incineration, landfilling, biological, etc.) 

  

Information will be either collected from existing database (OpenStreetMap,
some official database like BD Topo or SIREN in France, etc.) or created based
on surveys.

In a second step, those data, completed with other information (AD  3  or SSF
4  characteristics, rules and legislation, social and economic factors,
infrastructures), will be incorporated in a **multi-criteria analysis tool**
to optimized the location of a network of AD and SSF sites. The spatial data
are saved in **Shapefile** format, an open and interoperable format recognized
as the de-facto standard for all GIS vector data or saved in **GeoTIFF** for
raster data. The final sizes of the different datasets remain unknown at this
stage of the project but they should be small enough to remain easily
manageable.

The project data may be useful from an operational and methodological point of
view. In the cities used as case studies, the results may be already exploited
as decision tools by local authorities to design new biowaste networks, but
those data may also serve as guidelines for the replication of the method in
other contexts.

**4.1. Making data findable, including provisions for metadata:**

All the data published in the framework of the work package 3.3 of the
DECISIVE project and included in the “ _Pilot on Open Research Data_ ”
procedure will comply with the **INSPIRE Directive** 5  .

Therefore, all data will be provided with a **standard XML metadata** . The
metadata will be published on metadata catalog like the _European Union Open
Data Portal_ to insure their good discoverability.

The metadata will contain in particular:

  * Clear information about the content of the data (title, abstract, etc.) to insure a good understanding of its content 

  

  * A set of keywords including keywords from officials thesaurus (GEMET  6  , etc.) and tailor made keywords to optimize the searching process ▪ Date of creation and revision, contacts of creators 

  

The metadata will be created manually for each dataset with GIS software
(ESRI-ArcGIS or QSphere: a plugin for QGIS Software). In the case of
versioning, the version of the data will be clearly expressed in the file name
as defined by the file naming schema of the Decisive Project (Deliverable 8.4,
ex: _DECISIVE-WP3.3- title-partner_name-Vxx_ , where **Vxx** indicates the
version number: V01, V02, etc.) but also in the title and the abstract of the
metadata.

All dataset will have a **unique resource identifier** (DOI) provided by the
repository _Zenodo_ 7  .

#  4.2. Making data openly accessible

The final results of the work package 3.3 will be openly accessible in the
selected repository (Zenodo). The intermediate data will also be published in
the same repository, except if:

  * The owners of the data sources or raw data request to keep it close 

  

  * The data contain some personal information 

  

Note: The data processing will heavily modify the raw data. Therefore, the
final results will show only anonymized information.

Method for data sharing and data repository:

The data and the metadata will be available through Zenodo (www.zenodo.org), a
generalpurpose open access repository created by OpenAIRE. All data will be
published in open and standard formats to allow a good interoperability.

#  4.3. Making data interoperable

All data and metadata will be published based on open and standard file
format:

  * GIS vector data are saved in Shapefile format. It is recognized as the standard format for spatial vector data and it is based on open specifications for data operability among most of the GIS software. 

  

  * GIS raster data are saved in GeoTIFF format. 

  

  * Metadata files are saved in XML 

  

The data vocabulary used in attribute tables will be specific to the theme of
the project (waste management, energy, network, etc.). Therefore, a definition
of the technical names or concepts will be included in the metadata or in a
side document (PDF).

Moreover, to comply with the INSPIRE Directive; some of the keywords used in
the metadata will come from official thesaurus like GEMET.

#  4.4. Increase data re-use (through clarifying licenses)

##  \- Timeframe for data sharing

Data will be shared as soon as the _Communication and Dissemination_ and the
_Work package 3_ leaders have given their agreement. The data will be
maintained during the project timeframe and they will remain available after
the project on the repository (Zenodo).

##  \- Expected reuse

The project data may be useful from an operational and methodological point of
view. In the case studies areas, the results may be already exploited as
decision tools by local authorities to design new biowastes networks. But the
data may also serve as guidelines for the replication of the method in other
contexts.

##  \- Ownership and Licensing

The data will be owned by Irstea and will be published under _Creative Commons
license_ 8  with at least an attribution (CC **BY** ) or attribution and non-
commercial (CC **BY-NC** ). However, the final selection of the license is
still under discussion and may be different according to the dataset. In the
case of information based on third-party data with a copyleft license, the
license will be adapted in consequences.
