Goals of the Initialisation phase

The basic service will be modelled after the existing NFDI4Ing RDMO service during the initialisation phase and further developed. Four consortia, including NFDI4Culture, NFDI4Memory, NFDI4Biodiversity, and NFDI4Earth, have expressed interest in early adoption or contributing to service development. Each consortium has specific needs, such as integrating community tools and controlled vocabularies, developing extensive DMP templates, providing training measures, and supporting community-specific requirements, which will be addressed during the initialisation phase through workshops and collaboration with the RDMO community.

Goals of the Integration phase

The DMP4NFDI service portfolio aims to facilitate the creation of discipline-specific DMP/SMP templates using standardised, machine-actionable, and interoperable formats, as well as to support and improve communication between the different stakeholders and services involved in research data management processes, including software and data processing, from collection to validation. During the integration phase, incubator projects will facilitate a broader adoption by NFDI consortia while also supporting further development of the services. DMP4NFDI will increase its consultancy-style support to create templates and offer support for outreach measures.
