##  INTRODUCTION

This DMP has been developed with the input from all partners that have
been/will be producing data throughout the project. Accordingly, all
researchers working on this project will manage their data per this plan. This
DMP will be updated whenever necessary throughout the project.

##  CResPace DATA REPOSITORIES

UBAH is responsible for setting up, backing up and maintaining both public and
private data repositories of CResPace project. The digital data generated
throughout CResPace project will be archived in the University of Bath
Archives and Research Collections described on
_http://researchdata.bath.ac.uk/guide/archiving-data/_

_2.1 Data repository with restricted access_

UBAH setup a project folder in M1 (January 2017) on a dedicated secure drive
at university servers where only project partners can access with their
credentials.

_2.2 Data repository with public access_

Data and publications to which open access are provided will be stored on
Zenodo.

##  DATA SUMMARY

CResPace project is in the process of generating mathematical models, computer
programs, VLSI circuit designs and experimental data resulting from both
physical and pre-clinical trials.

Data are being collected/generated for reports of project deliverables,
scientific publications and also to support patent applications. Relevant
publications and patent applications will describe the development of the
technology underpinning the neural pacemaker to be developed.

Data will be useful for the scientific community, relevant directorates and
agencies of the European Commission, industry and the society.

All data produced as an outcome of this project is new. Data generated will be
about 2Tb.

Details of data that are planning to be produced by various partners are
listed as follows:

**Partner 2 BRISTOL, UK** will generate the electrophysiological data on
medullary neurons and networks stimulated by tailored current protocols. The
Bristol team will in the process develop pharmacological and multi-electrode
recording procedures which will be published and output in text format.

**Partner 5 MEDTRONIC, NL** will be generating sensor data as a natural part
of the sensor development. This being early assay characterization and
optimization using standard assay formats to be analysed using commercially
available scientific instruments. Subsequently, data will be generated by the
developed CResPace sensors in the process of optimization and simulated use
tests in a lab. Data will be output from **(1)** Various scientific
instruments. Data will have various format set by the instrument manufacturers
as well as text file format for further data processing. **(2)** Sensors
developed throughout the project will output analog data. In general, data
will be sampled using a commercially available data acquisition unit. Data
will be custom made formats as well as text file formats for further data
processing.

Data will in general be very specific to the sensor development. However,
partners involved in the sensor interface and in silico neurons will need
access to sensor output data for the optimized sensors.

**Partner 6 MUW, AT** will be generating **(1)** a large amount of data in the
course of in vivo studies planned within work package 9 Task 9.2. This data
will comprise pictures and datasets from cMRI+LE (DICOM), Angiography (DICOM),
ECG (print and scan) and NOGA mapping, **(2)** pictures (tif and vsi) on an
Olympus microscope; partly fluorescence pictures as an output of evaluation by
histology.

**Partner 7 UMC UTRECHT, NL** will be collecting numerous physiological
parameters both under physiological as pathological circumstances in the dog
under different provocations. Within the scope of the project physiological
data sets such as pO  2  , pCO  2  and frequency of inhalation and blood
pressure will be generated.

##  FAIR DATA

FAIR Data refers to research data generated within the project being findable,
accessible, interoperable and re-usable according to the guidelines of EC Data
Management in H2020. CResPace partners will do the following to commit to
that:

**Making data findable:**

Data generated throughout the project will be discoverable with metadata,
identifiable and locatable by means of a standard identification mechanism.

A unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) will be assigned by UBAH to all data
produced in the project. Search keywords will be provided to optimize
possibilities for re-use.

All data will have clear version numbers.

Standards and metadata will be applied that are relevant to data origin i.e
input data, experimental results, publications etc via repositories.
Initially, the project will make use of Zenodo for both publications and data.

**Making data openly accessible:**

Publications preprints, conference proceedings and presentations will be made
openly available. Data will be made available via Zenodo, project webpage and
conference webpages.

**Making data interoperable:**

Metadata archiving is via cross referencing of published material i.e Pubmed,
ArXiv, etc.

**Increasing data re-use:**

Open data will be stored on Zenodo database.

Restricted data will be licensed before publication in line with the
consortium agreement. Manuscripts are embargoed by default until the
publication date. Manuscripts on commercially sensitive topics will not be
submitted for publication until after a patent has been filed.

Open access data may be used by third parties.

All the research output will be published in peer reviewed publications which
assure the quality of data generated within the project. Data will remain re-
usable forever.

##  DATA SECURITY

UBAH is responsible for setting up, backing up and maintaining both public and
private data repositories of CResPace project. The digital data generated
throughout CResPace project will be stored, backed up and archived in the
University of Bath servers. The data will be archived in the University of
Bath Archives and Research Collections described on
_http://researchdata.bath.ac.uk/guide/archiving-data/._

UBAH setup a project folder in M1 (January 2017) on a dedicated secure drive
where only project partners can access with their credentials.

##  ETHICAL ASPECTS

Relevant reports for ethics D11.1 (Ethics - Requirement) and D11.2 (Ethics -
GEN licenses) were submitted in M2 (February 2017) of the project.
