Data management

Introduction This is the data-management directory, containing information and guidelines regarding data management and how to help clients plan for their data acquisition and storage.

A light version document is created based on work-in-progress DMPs, incl.

• Data Management Plan, created by Niclas Jareborg, Yvonne Kallberg, Hanna Kultima
• Data Management Guidelines, created by Björn Nystedt, Niclas Jareborg, Markus (?)

Suggested usage

• take DMP.pdf to the first meeting with the group to discuss DMPs
• together with the group prepare DMP for the project
  • make a copy of DMP.md, e.g. DMP-4412-19-mast.md
  • if the group can use .md, share the DMP.md and ask to answer the questions under each section
  • otherwise, help the group to fill in the information
  • compile to .pdf

How to compile to pdf

Command line:

• requires Pandoc & R

Rscript -e `library(rmarkdown); rmarkdown::render("DMP.Rmd", "pdf_document")`

R-studio:

• open DMP.Rmd
• set directory to the folder with DMP.Rmd
• press knitr button

TODO:

• get feedback and improve DMP-light version
• to get feedback / ideas on how to use DMP-light version in the best way, both for groups and for experts

Thoughts to discuss

• how DMP-light version should be used, e.g. emailed to the groups before consultation / first support meeting, filled together with experts during the meeting?
• how the DMP information should be collected, stored and shared with and within NBIS?
• should we prepare one or more examples with a common set-up?
• create a more practical version, from life scientist's point of view? from experts' point of view?
• how to prepare DMP so it makes daily bioinformatics work easy? e.g. including pathways to data on Uppmax, specifying metadata formats and file sharing standards with NBIS?
