GEO Data Management Principles Implementation Guidelines
Description
The GEO Programme Board has endorsed a new set of guidelines on how to apply the GEO Data Management Principles (DMP). These principles cover the discovery, accessibility and usability of data, among other topics. They can be applied to the entire data management lifecycle, and are complimentary to the FAIR principles, which focus primarily on aspects of metadata, and the TRUST principles, which primarily focus on the curation and preservation of data and related resources.
The new guidelines can be used to assess how well the GEO principles are being followed in practice. For each of the principles, the guidelines provide an explanation of each principle, as well as advice on implementation, relevant standards, metrics for measuring adherence and resource implications.
