This document summarizes updates and future plans for the DMPRoadmap platform. Key points include: 1) DMPRoadmap and DMPTool are being merged into a single codebase to combine features while improving performance. 2) Upcoming improvements include foreign language support, ORCID authentication, and an easier process for creating data management plans. 3) The development team is working to improve administrative controls and user guides, and add new functionality like basic plan review by August. 4) Longer term priorities include developing common standards, utilizing persistent identifiers, and integrating DMPs more fully into research workflows and systems.

2. A single platform for all things DMP
Agreed to converge on a single codebase, based on
DMPonline with additional features from DMPTool
Bring together features and strengths of each tool
Co-manage, co-develop and issue joint roadmap

boxes
• Guidance selected
afterwards, during
plan creation

8. Guidance selections

9. Improved admin controls
• Assign privileges to others in your org (user tab)
• Upload your own logo & abbreviation (org tab)

14. Machine actionable DMP priorities
• Common standards and protocols
• Utilising PIDs for automatic reporting etc
• Capacity planning (institutional & data centre)
• Increasing data discovery & reuse
• Supporting evaluation & monitoring
• Share/publish/deposit DMPs
Improve the experience for all by exchanging information across
research systems and embedding DMPs in existing workflows

15. Define a minimum data model

17. Service join-up & capacity planning
2-way info exchange between DMP & repository
• Specify place of deposit
• Notify repository
• Share data volume & requirements
• Facilitate deposit by prepopulating forms
• Update DMP with dataset metadata & PID

18. Mapping the institutional landscape
• What systems are in place?
• Where are these held? e.g. library, research office, ethics…
• What information is gathered and could be exchanged?
• What does the institution want / need
– event tracking e.g. award made
– automated messaging
– allocation of resources
– harvesting info for reporting
– enable data deposit…

19. Utilising PIDs
Potential to use EC grant IDs in plans e.g.
• Harvest grant IDs from OpenAIRE API
• Provide look up when entering project details
• Prepopulate metadata fields
• Enable join up of DMP with other outputs
