HOOP D1.2 Data Management Plan - Version 2

HOOP is a project based on information and data for providing project development assistance (PDA) to cities and regions. Therefore, it is essential for the success of HOOP to have a good Data Management Plan (DMP). DMP is the document which describes the management of the data collected, generated and processed along the project lifetime.

The DMP identifies the types of data from HOOP and classifies them according to different criteria (topic, origin, format). HOOP results are formed by PDA reports (many of which are deliverables), outcome of tools, multimedia material, scientific publications and databases. Most of these data are text and numerical (.docx, .xlsx, .pdf), but there is also a significant amount of images and videos.

The online platforms (Urban Circular Bioeconomy Hub and Virtual Academy) are the main instrument for communication and dissemination of the public results of the project, making most of the data accessible. These platforms are intended to be available beyond project lifetime, but the data on them will be also accessible through the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) platform. The dissemination of results follows the principle 'as open as possible, as closed as necessary'. In addition, a certain amount of peer-reviewed scientific publications will be generated, with special focus on citizen science actions.

HOOP Consortium will ensure that results are made findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), respecting the restrictions of IPR and ethics (personal data protection). Scientific publications, their related metadata and underlying data will be stored in a public and certified repository, adapting to the multidisciplinary character of HOOP (Zenodo). This repository provides a safe long-term storage and backup of project results.

This deliverable is the second version of the Data Management Plan submitted in M6. This update takes place in the context of the second periodic evaluation assessment, including data which had not been considered in the Version 1 and updating aspects which had not been defined then. However, the DMP is a living document which will be updated along the project when significant changes take place.
