Data Management Plan

A well-structured Data Management Plan (DMP) clarifies how and what data will be created, processed, and documented. It names means of data archiving and sharing of data.

GFBio offers templates and suppport for creation of data management plans.

Data and samples acquired during the research stay at the marine stations must be preserved on a long-term basis and made accessible to the scientific community for use in an appropriate period. An appropriate data management plan (data responsibility, data use, archiving, and release) must be given in the proposal. The quality of this plan is considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

Please record key information on the handling of data and samples. Please ensure your descriptions substantively address the following aspects in particular:
• Characteristics and scope of data and samples
• Documentation and data quality
• Storage and technical archiving
• Legal obligations and conditions
• Enabling subsequent reuse and long-term accessibility
• Responsibilities and resources

Please also describe how the institutions involved in the project will contribute to data and information management. Please consider the existing standards in your discipline, any current subject-specific recommendations and any existing infrastructure services (such as data repositories, archives or collections). Appropriate safeguarding of data and samples is ensured by their transfer to an established data/sample centre or a data/sample bank that can guarantee long-term data storage. Release for use by other users can be delayed in order to protect publication rights. The data and samples can be provided in a protected state so that only their existence is publicly displayed for the moratorium period.

Background

To fulfill a smooth data flow management you are kindly asked to register each scientific device or gear you bring for your stay to the Marine Stations Helgoland and Sylt in https://sensor.awi.de.

Metadata registered in SENSOR include the following:

  • general (overview) information such as unique short names, serial numbers, short description etc.
  • Properties: used for quality checks
  • Contacts with different roles e.g. Editor, Owner, Principal Investigator.
  • Actions: Deployment, Recovery, ...
  • Resources: fact sheets, manuals, SOPs
  • Parameters: measurement parameters with parameter types. Parameter types follow NERC vocabulary and are now matched to PANGAEA parameter types
  • Subdevices: devices attached to the device
