#  Executive Summary

i-GRAPE project aims to develop a new generation of analytical methods for
stand-alone, onthe-field control of the grape maturation phase and vine hydric
stress, based on highly integrated photonics components and modules.

The objective of this document is to establish the framework for managing the
data generated and collected throughout the project. This will consider:

  1. Handling of data collected before, during, and after the project, 

  

  2. Identification of the major data sources, 

  

  3. Methodology and standards for data management, 

  

  4. Data sharing policy, 

  

  5. Data curation and preservation. 

  

  

Following the EU’s guidelines regarding the Data Management Plan, this
document may be updated - if appropriate - during the project lifetime.

#  Introduction

The present document is the deliverable D6.3 Data Management Plan (D 6.3). It
establishes the framework and guidelines for managing the data generated and
collected during the project. The target audience of the document, being a
public deliverable, is the i-GRAPE consortium, the European Commission and the
general public. The document is composed by the sections below with the
following rationale:

  * Section 2- definitions, 

  

  * Section 3- data sources, 

  

  * Section 4- data storage and backup, - Section 5- data management principles, - Section 6- conclusion and revision cycle. 

  

#  Definitions

**Data Management Plan (DMP):** a working document which outlines how all
available datasets will be handled both during the active project phase and
after its end.

**Data Owners:** are the individuals or groups of individuals who are held
accountable for a dataset and who have legal ownership rights to a dataset
even though that dataset may have been collected, collated or disseminated by
another party.

**Dataset:** a collection of data created in the course of i-GRAPE project or
secondary data that can be published with due permission of the user. Datasets
are the fundamental unit of data management.

**Metadata:** Information about datasets stored in a repository. Metadata is
the term used to describe the summary information or characteristics of a set
of data. In general terms, this means the What, Who, Where, When and How of
the data. For example, in the particular case of data generated by i-GRAPE
sensors, this can include the area of geographic information, the grape
variety, or the temperature.

**Primary data:** original data that has been uploaded by the user especially
for the purpose in mind.

**Secondary data:** data that has been captured for another purpose than the
purpose in mind. Secondary data that is being reused, usually in a different
context.

#  Data sources

Regarding the multidisciplinary character of the project, there are several
complementary sources of data that will be generated and collected during the
project. Therefore, it can be identified three major data sources:

**Historical datasets:** collection of already existing time series data that
target vine hydric stress and grape maturation parameters relevant to the
development of the project. These datasets are owned and supplied by the
project’s end-user of i-GRAPE’s technology (Sogrape).

**Field datasets:** systematic collection of data generated during the
monitoring of grapes and / or vine plants during a season. This includes data
acquired by i-GRAPE sensors, reference instrumentation (e.g. benchtop and
portable optical instrumentation such as spectrophotometers or fluorometers),
and information generated by wet chemistry assays.

**Experimental datasets** : collection of data generated during the
experimental activities related to the project (e.g. simulations of electronic
circuits, simulations of optical nanostructures, optical data collected with
reference materials for standardization).

#  Data storage and backup

The data to be produced within i-GRAPE project will be securely stored and
backups made regularly.

The legal principles related to data storage and backup will be stated on the
i-GRAPE Data Policy as described below on section 5.2.

#  Data management principles

This section provides information on i-GRAPE project principles for data
management considering the benefits, drivers, principles and mechanisms needed
for data acquisition, storage, security, retrieval, dissemination archiving,
and disposal. The i-GRAPE key principles for data management are described
under the sub-sections below.

##  Data lifecycle control

The whole datasets of i-GRAPE will be managed in order to ensure that the data
is usable and securely stored in i-GRAPE database.

##  Data policy

The datasets will be acquired by all partners during the activities of the
project. Each partner is responsible to add the datasets to the database
provided by INL.

Datasets will be managed by the i-GRAPE consortium under the procedures
established by this plan. Datasets will be periodically maintained in order to
make them usable in the long-term.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) management will specify any restrictions on
the use of the data. All data that is considered not essential for IPR
protection will be made accessible to the public.

##  Metadata

All datasets produced during i-GRAPE project will contain compiled metadata
that will summarize the major characteristics of the dataset. The i-GRAPE
consortium will set the guidelines for establishing a consistent metadata
among the different datasets generated. This metadata record will allow a
correct identification and suitable reuse / reprocessing of the dataset.

##  Data access and dissemination

Access and dissemination of the data will comply with the following
principles:

  * The right to use or provide access to data can be passed to a third party and subject to dissemination policies. 

  

  * IPR management will define the access level of the data. 

  

  * Open Access will be applied to research data, upon assessing that: 

    * IPR, Copyright, and data ownership of the consortium and/or third party data are respected; 

  

    * No sensitive or confidential information are disclosed. 

  

  

  * The potential for re-use and exploitation of data will be considered. 

  

  * Public access to data available under i-GRAPE platform will be provided in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation. 

  

##  Data audit

The i-GRAPE consortium will perform periodically audits to the datasets in
order to verify the compliance with the policies of the present document.

#  Conclusions and revision cycles

The Data Management Plan is currently under implementation and includes all
datasets identified in section 3. The i-GRAPE consortium is responsible for
verifying the application of rules stated in the present document.

This document should be reviewed according to the quality and quantity of data
generated throughout the project. The revisions cycles should coincide with
the consortium meetings.
