Activating DMPs: Turning Standards into Practice

Recorded: Monday 13 October 2025
Title: Activating DMPs: Turning Standards into Practice
Presenters: Active Data Management Plans IG,
Common Application Programming Interface for machine-actionable Data Management Plans, DMP Common Standards WG (Becky Grady, Elli Papadopoulou, Peter Neish, Marek Suchánek, Tomasz Miksa)

DESCRIPTION
This joint session brings together the Active Data Management Plans IG, dedicated to evolving and monitoring DMP practices; the DMP Common Standards WG, which defines the conceptual model and ensures harmonisation of maDMPs across platforms; and the Common Application Programming Interface (API) for machine-actionable Data Management Plans (maDMPs) WG, which addresses the technical layer by building the infrastructure needed to connect DMP platforms, automate information exchange, and support real-time integration with other systems. These groups combined continue to act on the shared vision reinforced in the Salzburg Manifesto, furthering the work of making data management plans into active, dynamic outputs.

Our goal is to have a working meeting that discusses the progress across all fronts: conceptual modelling, technical integration, and practical implementation. We aim to showcase outcomes of recent efforts, present new approaches, and create space for a meaningful exchange on how these developments can support evolving research workflows. Work on the common API continues intensively until this meeting, with the goal of sharing progress and implementation updates with the RDA community.
