PILIN Project Outputs : Data Management Planning

Outputs of the PILIN and PILIN ANDS projects, and related material produced by the PILIN team subsequently.


PILIN Stage 1 project outputs are linked to the original project website, but if that output has been superseded, the new output is listed here as well.

Outputs are coded to each of the three stages:

  • 1 PILIN 1 = PILIN project proper
  • 2 PILIN 2 = PILIN ANDS Transition project
  • 3 PILIN 3 = Subsequent Outputs
  • *Asterisked content has not yet been finalised or approved

Each output is followed by the Handle for the work (which resolves to the latest published version).


Data Management Planning
Incorporating Persistent Identifiers into a Data Management Plans 2 hdl:102.100.272/ZP03ZGTRH
This document advocates Persistent Identifier planning as an essential component of any Data Management Plan, and suggests how such planning can be worked into a Data Management Plan template.
Information Modelling Guidelines 2 hdl:102.100.272/6R22YGTRH
This document advocates creating an information model for research data which will be managed over time, that allocates identifiers to a subset of that data. It provides a practical checklist of questions that can be used to create a basic identifier-aware information model. The first appendix expands on the basic checklist and could be used to build a more detailed information model. The second appendix contains considerations for managing data over long timeframes
Research Data Management Plan example 2 hdl:102.100.272/ZB659YCRH
This document is designed to highlight the use of identifiers and identifier policy in a semi-realistic research context that includes workflows and processes from data collection, access, usage, maintenance, persistence through to destruction. This document contains policies and guidelines that may be found in existing research data management plans, but these are not necessarily endorsed by the PILIN project.
