The expected size of the data is in the first version of the Initial Data
Management Plan hard to predict, e.g., raw audio data could be expect in many
Tera Byte (TB), but temperature and weight data in several Giga Byte(GB). SAMS
will produce several datasets during the lifetime of the project. The data
will be both qualitative and quantitative in nature and will be analysed from
a range of methodological perspectives for project development and scientific
purposes. In addition, data will be useful for internal project use, for
beekeepers and for other researchers working in the field of Precision
Beekeeping.

#  FAIR data

##  Making data findable, including provisions for metadata

The data generated and / or used in the project is not identifiable by
metadata nor is it identifiable and localizable by a standard identification
mechanism.

SAMS naming conventions are agree within developers (UNILV and UNIKAS) of data
storage system. It is internally agreed.

Search keywords will be provide when the dataset is upload. SAMS data will be
stored in closed database. If necessary to have access to raw data, there is
the possibility to provide specific interfaces. It is planned to give open
access to data summaries and charts.

In SAMS there is no possibility to provide clear version numbers, because we
do not have data versions. The reason for these is that each data row were
supported by timestamp. There is no plan to create metadata in SAMS.

##  Making data openly accessible

All bee colony data produced by sensors within the project will be summarised
and accessible online using the developed web system. Raw data will be use
internally, but if needed the access to it can be granted by specific
interfaces.

To make the data accessible a specific Web system will be developed to access
the data summary.

Within the SAMS project, there are no special software or methods needed to
access the data. Only web browser is needed to see the data summary and
charts. If access to the raw data will be granted (by specific interfaces), no
specific software will be needed during the export stage, but a spreadsheet
type software may be needed to inspect the exported data. As long as there is
no special software needed, no documentation is included.

SAMS data will be stored in database, which is located on the server, which is
placed in Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies (LLU). The
appropriate arrangements with the identified repository were made from the
Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies. There are no restrictions
on use and so a data access committee is not need.

The conditions for data access is not describe. Nevertheless, a Link to the
developed system will be published within the community. For these there is no
need for person identification within the SAMS project.

##  Making data interoperable

SAMS data produced in the project is planned to be interoperable. It is
possible to add also data from other sources to the developed system. The data
vocabulary and methodologies we follow to make them interoperable is still in
progress and could be finalized in Version 2.0 of the Data Management Plan. We
will use standard vocabularies for all data types in our data set. If it is
unavoidable that we need to use unusual or project-specific ontologies or
vocabularies in SAMS, we provide mappings to more commonly used vocabularies.

##  Increase data re-use (through clarifying licences)

The SAMS data collected within the project will be open for everyone. SAMS
data will be made available for re-use from the moment the SAMS web site is
published  ( _www.sams-project.eu_ )  . Data produced in the project will be
available until the web system is operable. At this moment, it is planned that
data remains re-usable until the project end date.

In the Version 1.0 of the Initial Data Management Plan the data quality
assurance processes is not described.

If Datasets are update, the partner that processes the data has the
responsibility to manage the different versions and to make sure that the
latest version is available in the case of publically available data.

#  Allocation of resources

There are no immediate costs anticipated to make the dataset produced FAIR.
Costs for data management and data storage are not defined separately. The
costs are included in person months for researchers.

Any Costs are covered from project direct costs. Latvian University of Life
Sciences and Technologies will be responsible for data management.

In this stage of the project, the resources for a long term preservation are
not discussed.

#  Data security

For the duration of the project, Data backups are made automatically by the
server. Within the project, there are no sensitive data transfer. In this
stage of the project, there is no certified repositories for long term
preservation and curation.

#  Ethical aspects

No ethical or legal issues that can have impact on data sharing in the moment.

The SAMS project does not involve the use of human participants or personal
data in the research of the bee colony data and therefore there is no
requirement for ethical review.
