Hi all,
Just a quick update.
Yesterday, I joined the “Exposing DMPs” WG meeting (a group spun-up from
the “Active DMP” IG). They gave me a few minutes to give a brief
introduction to our work.
In general, the people at the meeting were quite interested in what we
are doing. Some people expressed an interest in joining our WG, and
there’s certainly the potential for collaboration.
My impression was that the focus of the “Exposing DMPs” WG is more
towards the “social” aspect of try to get researchers to allow their
DMPs to be shared; citing the hurdles that need to be overcome and the
benefits from doing so. Nevertheless, Angus Whyte asked us to add a few
sentences to their case-statement, making the connection between our
groups more visible.
The “DMP Common Standards” WG is probably more directly relevant to our
work:

One of the chairs of the “DMP Common Standards” WG (Peter Neish) was
also present at yesterday’s meeting, and expressed interest in our
activity. So I think we’re starting to establish some good connections.
Cheers,
Paul.
