#  **1** Introduction

##  1.1 Summary

As part of Horizon 2020, the AEROWORKS project participates in a pilot action
on open research data. The aim is to provide indications as to what kind of
data the project will collect, how the data will be preserved and what are the
adopted sharing policies towards making these data readily available to the
research community.

##  1.2 Purpose of document

This DMP details what kind of research data will be created during the
project's lifespan and forms prescriptions as to how these data will be made
available ­ and thus re­usable and verifiable ­ by the larger research
community. The project's efforts in the area of open research data are
outlined giving particular attention to the following issues:

  * The types of open and non­open data that will be generated or collected by the consortium, via experimental campaigns and research, during the project's lifespan; 

  

  * The technologies and infrastructures that will be used to securely preserve the data long­term; 

  

  * The standards used to encode the data; 

  

  * The data exploitation plans; 

  

  * The sharing/access policies applied to each data­set. 

  

The plan can be considered also as a checklist for the future and as a
reference for the resource and budget allocations related to data management.

##  1.3 Methodology

The content of this document builds upon the input of the project's industrial
partners and all the peers of work­packages 5, 6, 7 and 8. A short
questionnaire, outlining the DMP's objectives and stating the required
information in a structured manner, has been edited by LTU and disseminated to
the partners. The compiled answers have been integrated into a coherent plan.

The present DMP will evolve as the project progresses in accord with the
project's efforts in this area. At any time, the DMP will reflect the current
state of the consortium's agreements regarding data management, exploitation
and protection of rights and results.

Outline

For each partner involved in the collection or generation of research data a
short techni

­

cal description is given stating the context in which the data has been
created. The different

data­sets are identified by project­wide unique identifiers and categorized
through additional

meta­data such as, for example, the sharing policy attached to it.

The considered storage facilities are outlined and tutorials are provided for
their use

submitting and retrieving the research data). A further appendix lists the
format standards

(

that will be used to encode the data and provides references to technical
descriptions of these

formats.

#  **2** Data sharing, access and preservation

The digital data created by the project will be curated differently depending
on the sharing policies attached to it. For both open and non­open data, the
aim is to preserve the data and make it readily available to the interested
parties for the whole duration of the project and beyond.

##  2.1 Non­Open research data

The non­open research data will be archived and stored long­term in the
REDMINE portal administered by LTU. The REDMINE platform is currently been
employed to coordinate the project's activities and tasks and to store all the
digital material connected to

AEROWORKS.

##  2.2 Open research data

The open research data will be archived on the Zenodo platform (). Zenodo is a
EUbacked portal based on the well established GIT version control system ()
and the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system (). The portal's aims are
inspired by the same principles that the EU sets for the pilot; Zenodo
represents thus a very suitable and natural choice in this context.

The repository services offered by Zenodo are free of charge and enable peers
to share and preserve research data and other research outputs, in any size
and format: datasets, images, presentations, publications and software. The
stored data and the associated meta­data through well­established practices
such as mirroring and periodic backups.

Finally, each uploaded data­set is assigned a unique DOI making the data
uniquely identifiable and thus traceable and referenceable.
