**1.1. Purpose of the data collection/generation**

The European Commission (EC) is running a flexible pilot under Horizon 2020
called the Open Research Data Pilot (ORD pilot). This pilot is part of the
Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data Program in H2020  1
. The ORD pilot aims to improve and maximise access to and re-use of research
data generated by Horizon 2020 projects and takes into account the need to
balance openness and protection of scientific information, commercialisation
and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), privacy concerns, security as well as
data management and preservation questions. The EC provided a document with
guidelines  2  for projects participants in the pilot. The guidelines address
aspects like research data quality, sharing and security.

According to the guidelines, participating projects will be required to
develop a Data Management Plan (DMP). The DMP describes the types of data that
will be generated or gathered during the project, the standards that will be
used, the ways how the data will be exploited and shared for verification or
reuse, and how the data will be preserved. In addition, beneficiaries must
ensure their research data are findable, accessible, interoperable and
reusable (FAIR)  2  .

**This document describes the initial Data Management Plan (DMP) for AMADEUS
project** . It addresses Project administration data collected as part of the
execution and management of a disruptive research that could be in the market
in the incoming years.

AMADEUS DMP will be set according to the article 29.3 of the Grant Agreement
“Open Access to Research Data”. Project participants must deposit their data
in a research data repository and take measures to make the data available to
third parties. The third parties should be able to access, mine, exploit,
reproduce and disseminate the data. This should also help to validate the
results presented in scientific publications. In addition, Article 29.3
suggests that participants will have to provide information, via the
repository, about tools and instruments needed for the validation of project
outcomes.

On the other hand, Article 29.3 incorporates the obligation of participants to
protect results, security obligations, obligations to protect personal data
and confidentiality obligations prior to any dissemination. And concludes: “
_As an exception, the beneficiaries do not have to ensure open access to
specific parts of their research data if the achievement of the action's main
objective, as described in Annex I, would be_

_jeopardised by making those specific parts of the research data openly
accessible. In this case, the data management plan must contain the reasons
for not giving access_ .”

In line with this, the AMADEUS consortium will decide what information is made
public according to aspects as potential conflicts against commercialization,
IPR protection of the knowledge generated (by patents or other forms of
protection), meaning a risk for obtaining the project objectives/outcomes,
etc.

AMADEUS DMP will follow the structure of a DMP given by DMP online tool  3  .
**AMADEUS Consortium will use repository ZENODO** (an OpenAIRE and CERN
collaboration). Motivations to use this repository are:

  * Allows researchers to deposit both publications and data, while providing tools to link them. 

  

  * In order to increase visibility and impact of the project the Community AMADEUS has been created in ZENODO, so all beneficiaries of the project can link the uploaded paper to the Community  5  . 

  

  * The repository has backup and archiving capabilities. 

  

  * ZENODO assigns all publicly available uploads a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make the upload easily and uniquely citable. 

  

  * The repository allows different access rights. 

  

All the above makes ZENODO a good candidate as a unified repository for all
foreseen project data (presentations, publications, images, videos and
measurement data) from AMADEUS.

##  1.2. OBJECTIVES OF AMADEUS PROJECT

The targeted breakthrough of AMADEUS project is to develop novel materials and
devices that enable a new kind of Ultra-high temperature thermal latent heat
energy storage (UHT-LHTES) systems, using a new kind of extremely high latent
heat (2-4 MJ/kg) and melting point (up to 2000 ºC) phase change materials
(PCMs). In this concern the Consortium will investigate the silicon-boron
(Si-B) system, exploring different SixBy stoichiometries and additives (e.g.
Mn, Cr, etc.) to find the optimum Si-B based alloy for LHTES. The Consortium
will also address the most relevant technological challenges concerning the
use of these materials, such as the refractory linings of the container,
advanced thermal insulation casing, and a new kind of solidstate conversion
devices able to operate at those ultra-high temperatures: the (still
conceptual) hybrid thermionic-photovoltaic (TIPV) converter. The specific
objectives of the project are:

  * **Objective 1** \- Synthesize Si-B based alloys with latent heat above 2 MJ/kg optimized for LHTES applications 

  

  * **Objective 2** \- Fabricate an optimal PCM casing enabling long term reliability at temperatures up to 2000 ºC 

  

  * **Objective 3** \- Demonstrate the proof of concept of a thermionic-photovoltaic converter 

  

  * **Objective 4** \- Demonstrate the proof of concept of the novel energy storage concept 

  

##  1.3. Dissemination Policy

The AMADEUS project is pioneering research that is of key importance to the
energy storage industry. Effective exploitation of the research results
depends on the proper management of intellectual property. Therefore, the
AMADEUS consortium will follow the strategy outlined in (Figure 1). When the
research findings result in a groundbreaking innovation, the members of the
consortium will consider two forms of protection: to withhold the data for
internal use or to apply for a patent in order to commercially exploit the
invention and have in return financial gain. In latter case, publications will
be therefore delayed until the patent filing. On the contrary, if the
technology developments are not going to be withheld or patented, the results
will be published for knowledge sharing purposes.

Figure 1: Schema on the dissemination policy of the Consortium.

The scientific and technical results of the AMADEUS project are expected to be
of maximum interest for the scientific community. Through the duration of the
project, all intended disseminations or protections must be noticed 45 days in
advance in order to get the permission or objection from the Consortium. Once
the relevant protections (e.g. IPR) are secured, the AMADEUS partners may
disseminate (subject to their legitimate interests) the obtained results and
knowledge to the relevant scientific communities through contributions in
journals and international conferences in the field of Materials Science,
Energy or Physics.

##  1.4. Types, formats, size and origin of data generated/collected

In AMADEUS project, Open Research Data Pilot applies to two types of data:

  * The data, including associated metadata, needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications (underlying data); 

  

  * Other data, including associated metadata, to be developed by the project. This refers to specifications of the AMADEUS system and the services it supports, the datasheets and performances of the technological developments of the project, the field trial results with the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) used to evaluate the system performances, meeting presentations, demonstrator videos, pictures from set-ups, lab records, schemes, technical manuals, among others. 

  

The format of the data generated will be mainly electronic, but some primary
data records can be also found handwritten as an example when beneficiaries
use lab notes in a daily basis. AMADEUS project will ensure that all
electronic files follow the FAIR policy as explained later. The main format of
electronic data in order to ensure the accessibility to data will be any of
the included in the IANA Myme Media Types  4  .

Expected size of data generated will be reasonable according to the normal
practices of the beneficiaries’ research. But we do not expect to deal with
large files.

Regarding the origin of data, the majority of them will come from software
used for simulations, experimental setups and equipment used.

##  1.5. Data Utility

Open Research Data from AMADEUS will allow that other researchers can make use
of that information to validate the results, thus being a starting point for
their investigations, as expected by the EC through its open access policy.

##  1.6. Consortium Awareness

The DMP is used by AMADEUS partners as a reference for data management
(providing metadata, storing and archiving) within the project each time new
project data is produced.

The project partners are introduced to the DMP and its use as part of WP1
activities. Relevant questions from partners will also be addressed within
WP1. The workpackage will also provide support to the project partners on
using Zenodo as the data management tool.

The coordinator will ensure the Research Open Data policy by verifying
periodically the information uploaded to ZENODO repository and AMADEUS
community.

#  FAIR DATA

With the endorsement of the FAIR principles and its incorporation into the
guidelines for DMPs in H2020, the FAIR principles hereby serve as a template
for a full-lifecycle data management. Although the FAIR principle does not
serve as an independent lifecycle data model, it assures that the most
important components of a full life cycle model is covered.

As stated before our Consortium will use ZENODO repository for Open Research
data purposes since Zenodo facilitates linking publications and underlying
data through persistent identifiers and data citations. Therefore, the FAIR
data policy we are following is that established by this repository  5  .

##  Making data findable, including provisions for metadata

###  Discoverability: Metadata Provision

Metadata are created to describe the data and aid discovery. According to
ZENODO repository all metadata is stored internally in JSON-format according
to a defined JSON schema. Metadata is exported in several standard formats
such as MARCXML, Dublin Core, and DataCite Metadata Schema (according to the
OpenAIRE Guidelines).

Beneficiaries will complete all mandatory metadata required by the repository
and metadata recommended by the repository but mandatory for AMADEUS
Consortium and could provide additional metadata if appropriated. In the Table
1 a general overview of metadata is outlined.

###  Identifiability of data

Beneficiaries will maintain the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) when the
publication/data has already been identified by a third party with this
number. Otherwise ZENODO will provide each dataset with a DOI.

###  Naming convention

**AMADEUS does not establish a naming convention for uploading data to the
repository** . Since mandatory metadata in ZENODO repository include a
description of the dataset, we ensure third parties will access data easily by
describing properly the dataset. Likewise, our policy of not changing data
names will allow data to be consistent and traceable in each author’s local
back-up devices.

###  Approach towards search keyword

ZENODO allows for introducing keywords for each dataset. Each author will
introduce relevant keywords and **all dataset generated by the Consortium will
be also identified with the keyword AMADEUS** .

##  Making data openly accessible

###  Types of data made openly available

**The underlying data related to the scientific publications will be made
publicly available by means of ZENODO.** This will allow that other
researchers can make use of that information to validate the results, thus
being a starting point for their investigations, as expected by the EC through
its open access policy.

Since a huge amount of data is generated in a European project as AMADEUS, the
Consortium will make a selection of relevant information, disregarding that
not being relevant for the validation of the relevant published results.

**Beneficiaries will be able to choose, additionally to the data underlying
publications, what other data they make available in open access mode** . The
reason of this optionality is based on ensuring a proper development of the
research since a project that is looking for a novel energy storage system
could experience some exploitation difficulties in a medium-term whether
certain data have been open to third parties.

For “other data” (those not linked to a paper) the beneficiary must
communicate to the rest of the consortium its intent to open the data through
ZENODO according to Art 29.1 of GA “A beneficiary that intends to disseminate
its results must give advance notice to the other beneficiaries of — unless
agreed otherwise — at least 45 days, together with sufficient information on
the results it will disseminate”.

###  Methods or software tools needed to access the data

All our data are openly accessible since we used standard formats according to
IANA Myme Media Types.

###  Deposition of data and associated metadata, documentation and code

As explained in 1.1 we will use ZENODO repository for the purpose of data,
metadata and documentation deposition.

##  Making data interoperable

Interoperability means allowing data exchange and re-use between researchers,
institutions, organisations, countries, etc. (i.e. adhering to standards for
formats, as much as possible compliant with available (open) software
applications, and in particular facilitating re-combinations with different
datasets from different origins.

AMADEUS Consortium ensures the interoperability of the data by using data in
standard formats according to IANA Myme Media Types, and using ZENODO
repository with a standardization JSON scheme for metadata.

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

Data (with accompanying metadata) will be shared no later than publication of
the main findings and will be in-line also in ZENODO. The maximum time allowed
to share underlying data is the maximum embargo period established by the EC,
six months.

AMADEUS open research data will free to re-use under creative Commons
Licences: Attribution, ShareAlike, Non Commercial and No Derivatives.

Data will be accessible for re-use without limitation during and after the
execution of AMADEUS project. After the end of the project, data will remain
in the repository.

Publications and/or other data related with the project but generated after
its deadline will be also uploaded.

#  ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES

AMADEUS will use ZENODO to make data openly available so there is no cost for
the infrastructure. The cost of personnel devoted to the management of the
data is considered to be charged under the Program.

Each beneficiary will devote its own personnel resources to upload data to
ZENODO and follow the instructions contained in this document. The Coordinator
will name a person responsible to verify and control data opened by partners
ensuring that the policy described in this document will be fulfilled.

#  DATA SECURITY

ZENODO counts with a technical infrastructure that ensures data security and
long term preservation. The interested reader can check the terms at
http://about.zenodo.org/infrastructure/

#  ETHICAL ASPECTS

There are no ethical aspects affecting to AMADEUS research so we consider that
all data are out of ethical considerations.

On the other hand, in order to guarantee that no sensitive data are archived
without the consent of the Consortium, partners will apply the good practice
of communicating any kind of disclosure 45 days beforehand.
