Data management plans for the German National Research Data Infrastructure
DMP4NFDI is a centralised basic service for managing data management plans (DMPs) and software management plans (SMPs) across the NFDI. It supports NFDI consortia in developing and providing standardised DMPs and SMPs. Built on the open-source tool RDMO as its technical framework, the service provides a flexible and interoperable infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of each consortium. At the same time, it promotes cross-consortia collaboration on DMP templates. The goal of DMP4NFDI is to enhance efficiency and interoperability in research data management by engaging consortia early on in the development and standardisation of DMP templates.
