The data management plan covers the complete research data life cycle. It describes the types of data that will be generated or collected during the project, the standards that will be used, how the data will be preserved and what parts of the datasets will be shared for verification or reuse. It also reflects the current state of the Consortium agreements on data management and must be consistent with exploitation and intellectual property rights requirements. Data sharing in the open domain can be restricted as a legitimate reason to protect results that can reasonably be expected to be commercially or industrially exploited. The expected types of research data be collected or generated along the project lie in the following categories: logistics and marine operations data; component data; and environmental and social acceptance assessment data.
