**2 Data Management Plan**

Data management activities aim at sharing the data and tools accompanying
POINT’s results with the ICN research community. These activities focus on the
data that underpin the scientific publications and project deliverables. In
this section, we give a brief description of such data and metadata and
present processes and tools to ensure the the long-term availability of the
research data.

#  2.1 Data Sets and Tools

POINT will augment Blackadder  1  with a number of components that will allow
existing applications to run on ICN without any changes. These new components
will be first evaluated on a distributed test-bed and then at an operator’s
(Primetel) network. Some concepts may also be evaluated by simulation.

The evaluation will produce raw data with some parts summarised in
deliverables and scientific publications. These raw data, underpinning the
published work, constitute the main research data sets that will be made
publicly available. In cases where release of complete raw data sets is
impossible due to, for example, privacy or personal data concerns (such as
packet traces involving networking usage of trial participants), we will
strive to find data sanitation and anonymisation approaches that enable
publishing as large parts of the data as possible. Any scripts used for post-
processing the raw data will also be shared.

When the data has been produced through customised simulation, the simulators
and the configuration files will be made available. When simulation is not
customised, configuration files for the well-known simulator will be shared.

Data will be shared under a Creative Commons Licence (CC-BY or CC0 tool)  2  .

#  2.2 Metadata

As mentioned, data will be shared only in relation to publications
(deliverables and papers). As such, the publication will serve as the main
piece of metadata for the shared data. When this is not seen as being adequate
for the comprehension of the raw data, a report will be shared along with the
data explaining their meaning and methods of acquisition.

#  2.3 Data Sharing

Data will be shared when the related deliverable or paper has been made
available at an open access repository. The normal expectation is that data
related to a publication will be openly shared. However, to allow the
exploitation of any opportunities arising from the raw data and tools, data
sharing will proceed only if all co-authors of the related publication agree.
The Lead author is responsible for getting approvals and then sharing the data
and metadata on Zenodo  3  , a popular repository for research data. The Lead
Author will also create an entry on OpenAIRE  4  in order to link the
publication to the data. OpenAIRE is a service that has been built to offer
exactly this functionality and may be used to reference both the publication
and the data. A link to the OpenAIRE entry will then be submitted to the POINT
Website Administrator (Primetel) by the Lead Author.

#  2.4 Archiving and Preservation

Both Zenodo and OpenAIRE are purpose-built services that aim to provide
archiving and preservation of long-tail research data. In addition, the POINT
website, linking back to OpenAIRE, is expected to be available for at least 2
years after the end of the project.
