Horizon 2020 and the open research data pilot
The document outlines the European Commission's guidelines for the Horizon 2020 Open Research Data Pilot, emphasizing the importance of data management plans (DMPs) in research projects. It provides resources and tools for researchers to effectively manage, share, and license their data, including the DMPonline tool and various repositories. Key points include the principles of making data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and the significance of selecting appropriate licenses and formats for long-term data sustainability.

- 17. What is adata management plan? A brief plan written at the start of a project to define: • how the data will be created? • how it will be documented? • who will access it? • where it will be stored? • who will back it up? • whether (and how) it will be shared & preserved? DMPs are often submitted as part of grant applications, but are useful whenever researchers are creating data.
- 18. A FAIR approachto DMPs Findable – Assign persistent IDs, provide metadata, register in a searchable resource... Accessible – Retrievable by their ID using a standard protocol, metadata remain accessible even if data aren’t... Interoperable – Use formal, broadly applicable languages, use standard vocabularies, qualified references... Reusable – Rich metadata, clear licences, provenance, use of community standards... www.force11.org/group/fairgroup/fairprinciples

How to selecta repository? • Look for provision from your community, university, publisher, funder etc • Check they match your particular data needs: e.g. formats accepted; mixture of Open and Restricted Access. • See if they provide guidance on how to cite the deposited data. • Do they assign a persistent & globally unique identifier for sustainable citations and to links back to particular researchers and grants? • Look for certification as a ‘Trustworthy Digital Repository’ with an explicit ambition to keep the data available in long term. www.openaire.eu/opendatapilot-repository

Editor's Notes
- #21 From the start, the DCC has offered guidance, independent of funder or discipline. EUDAT and OpenAIRE and others are developing extra guidance as well.
- #24 Guidance from the DCC can also help researchers to understand data licensing. This guide outlines the pros and cons of each approach e.g. the limitations of some CC options The OA guidelines under Horizon 2020 point to CC-0 or CC-BY as a straightforward and effective way to make it possible for others to mine, exploit and reproduce the data. See p11 at: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa-pilot-guide_en.pdf
- #34 OpenAIRE is also worth checking out. This is an EC-funded project to provide infrastructure for open access. They’ve recently released a short video that tells you how they can help. Essentially OpenAIRE aggregates metadata from different repositories to compile a complete list of publications and related outputs. They mine and enrich the content, de-duplicating entries and linking together publications with data, details about the project, authors, funders etc. OpenAIRE also provides a number of useful services & APIs, for example you can embed a publication list for your project in your website that is automatically updated whenever someone adds a new paper to a repository (this is harvested into OpenAIRE and pushed out to your list).
- #35 All share common challenges: – Reference models and architectures – Persistent data identifiers – Metadata management – Distributed data sources – Data interoperability
