California Digital Library (CDL)/UC3

CDL founded by the University of California in 1996

�University of California Curation Center (UC3) is CDL’s program concerned with maintaining, preserving, and adding value to digital research data throughout its lifecycle UC3 areas of focus:

Research data management
Data publication and data metrics
Persistent identifiers
Digital preservation
Data/software skills training

DMPTool

Free, open-source community supported tool

+60K users, 310 participating institutions

Create next-generation, machine-actionable DMPs

What’s in a DMP?

6 of 22

Standard Components of a DMP

Data Collection

What data will you collect or create?

Documentation and Metadata

What documentation and metadata will accompany the data?

Ethics and Legal Compliance

How will you manage any ethical issues?

Storage and Backup

How will the data be stored and backed up during the research?

Selection and Preservation

Which data are of long-term value and should be shared, and/or preserved?

Data Sharing
Responsibilities and Resources

Our Ultimate Goal

The principle goal of a machine actionable DMP is to support the creation and stewardship of FAIR data

Allow data and information about research to be communicated and shared across stakeholders
Facilitating

notifications and verification
real-time reporting
automated compliance

maDMPs should lessen the administrative burden on researchers and grant administrators.

Networked DMPs and the PID Graph

Identifiers connect research activities

DMPTool supports PIDs within a DMP:

DMP-IDs
RORs for research organizations
Funder Registry IDs for funders
ORCIDs for DMP creators and collaborators
Registry of Research Data Repositories (re3data)
Licenses (spdx)
RDA Metadata Standards Directory

PIDs for DMPs

Generating identifiers for DMPs create an unbreakable link between a data plan to the project outputs and allows access to DataCite’s supporting services such as Event Data to facilitate connections via the PID Graph in support of FAIR data.

Leveraging the PID Graph

Having unique persistent identifiers for researchers and their outputs is crucial to connecting pieces of the research landscape together.

PIDs already have the potential to enable the connected research graph, but we’re not yet taking full advantage of their connecting powers.

We can now clearly link PIDs together via relations in their metadata to enable the discovery of connections at least two “hops” away

DMP-ID & ORCID Integration

DMP IDs generated via the DMPTool are now automatically linked to the DMP creator’s ORCID record.

Support for DMPs as living documents:

Electronic Lab Notebooks

Researchers will be able to keep DMPs up to date in the ELN, RSpace.

When datasets are published in external repositories the dataset DOI is then connected to the original DMP via related identifiers.
