Repository for maDMPs (exposing maDMPs)

[TomMiksa]

maDMPs can be used to exchange information between two systems, but they can also be published.

We need a repository for maDMPs that replaces existing PDF-based repositories.

The repository should allow to restrict visibility of specific parts of the maDMP. For example, information on Costs are not publically available – nobody should be allowed to see them.

Users should be able to search for relevant maDMPs and the system should display a list of relevant maDMPs, e.g.

• maDMPs that have the same contact person
• maDMPs using the same data
• maDMPs using the same repository
• maDMPs following the same metadata standard
• maDMPs modified after certain date
• maDMPs with ethical issues, requiring closed access, with embargo, etc…
• ….

This would be really great... DSW could then easily submit new maDMPs to this repository via API as well as allow relating existing maDMPs in the repository with other DSW DMPs (with various relation types).

We are developing something along these lines for the FAIR Island project which we are calling the DMPHub (we are open to suggestions for a better name 😉): https://github.com/CDLUC3/dmphub

This system will:

• Act as a proxy for our DMPRoadmap based DMPTool to mint DOIs through Datacite
• Receive RDA Common Standard JSON from systems to 'register' a maDMP
• Provide a landing page for the maDMP metadata

We have been thinking about security and who can see what portions of the landing page and at what times during the projects lifecycle.

We are also hoping to have it monitor other systems like repositories and funders to enrich the maDMP data with references to dataset DOIs, Award URLs, etc.

The code is open source and in the very early stages of development. If it looks like it could be of interest let me know.
