The Digital Curation Centre
- Founded in 2004- Mission to support the UK research
community in the management and curation of digital resources, with a special focus on research data
- Three partner organisations: Edinburgh, Glasgow and Bath
- Primary funder is JISC

“Dealing with Data”
![Page 8: Data Management Planning at the DCC: a human factor](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/54477775b1af9f0f098b46af/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why plan data management? The 5 Ps...
Perfect Planning Prevents Poor Performance
Why?
Data management is a journey with multiple drivers /stakeholders, from researchers to support staff to curators to long-term data centres: each of these has to follow the same map in order to mitigate the risk of not getting there.
![Page 9: Data Management Planning at the DCC: a human factor](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/54477775b1af9f0f098b46af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Contributing Factors for Data Management (Planning)
- Economic constraints- Need for commonality in best practice- “The nature of the beast...”

What can a plan not do?
It can’t do the work for you.
The map is not the territory (Korzybski) orChalk’s no shears (Scottish saying)
It is important to remember that the human challenges in data management are often more difficult to meet than the technological ones. Communication is vital.
The limits of planning
![Page 12: Data Management Planning at the DCC: a human factor](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/54477775b1af9f0f098b46af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We pulled together a list of all the UK funders’ requirements, gathered them into thematic groups, and supplemented this list with our own expertise... (Donnelly & Jones, 2009)
This became the first ‘Data Management Plan Content Checklist’ (Checklist v1.0’) – it had 51 questions/headings. (Post-consultation, v2.0 had 115 questions/headings.)
A comprehensive checklist…
![Page 13: Data Management Planning at the DCC: a human factor](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/54477775b1af9f0f098b46af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We mapped our Checklist questions to each funder’s data-related requirements, and determined three key stages...
Stages of a Data Management Plan
![Page 14: Data Management Planning at the DCC: a human factor](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/54477775b1af9f0f098b46af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. Research conceptualisation / funding application
2. In-project (potentially multiple iterations)
3. Post-project / longer-term preservation
Remember, each stage will involve different stakeholders and emphases…
Stages of a Data Management Plan

The DMP Checklist (Donnelly/Jones) is the underlying intellectual framework which supports all of the DCC’s data management planning work.
It is arranged into 10 sections, and aims to be comprehensive.
The Checklist, Section by Section
The next part of this talk gives an overview of these sections, with a little commentary from me on who might be involved in filling them in...

Checklist: last words
N.B.
All research projects are differentThe DMP will depend upon the nature of
the research AND the context (funder, domain, institution(s) etc)
DMPs are both metadata and communication tools
![Page 28: Data Management Planning at the DCC: a human factor](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/54477775b1af9f0f098b46af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

What does it do?DMP Online is a web-based tool that enables users to...
i. Create, store and update multiple versions of Data Management Plans at the application and in-project stages
ii. Meet funders’ specific data-related requirements*iii. Get funder- and institution-specific guidance on
best practice and helpful contacts, at the point of need
iv. Customise and export DMPs in a variety of formats
* Disclaimer: mappings are not yet fully endorsed by funders, but we’re working on it...

ConnectionsDMP Online can also be used in conjunction with other tools that support the data management/curation lifecycle, e.g.…
- DAF (Data Asset Framework)- DRAMBORA (Digital Repository Audit Method
Based On Risk Assessment)- CARDIO (Collaborative Assessment of
Research Data Infrastructure and Objectives)
Also non-DCC tools:
- LIFE- Planets tools- and more

Coming Soon: DMP Online v3.0
- Improved user interface- New features
- Overlaying multiple (‘hybrid’) templates- Template phases (e.g. pre, during, post)- Granular read/write/share permissions- API for systems interoperability- Endorsement from funders
- Launching Spring 2012
