Interconnecting Systems Using Machine-Actionable Data Management Plans – Hackathon Report

Abstract

The common standard for machine-actionable Data Management Plans (DMPs) allows for automatic exchange, integration, and validation of information provided in DMPs. In this paper, we report on the hackathon organised by the Research Data Alliance in which a group of 89 participants from 21 countries worked collaboratively on use cases exploring the utility of the standard in different settings. The work included integration of tools and services, funder templates mapping, and development of new serialisations. This paper summarises the results achieved during the hackathon and provides pointers to further resources.
