• The aim of this deliverable, the Data Management Plan, is to provide a comprehensive overview of the way data is handled throughout the ReMuNet project. Derived from the template provided by the European Commission, its structure ensures alignment with recognized standards. Anticipated to be updated twice more during the project's lifecycle, this document functions as a dynamic guide, articulating the approach to data integration, refinement, and security within the ReMuNet platform. In providing a transparent and comprehensive understanding of data management practices, insights into relevant data sources and processing procedures are offered. This is achieved by applying the FAIR principles, followed by detailed explanations of data security measures, encompassing General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This marks the first periodic report, covering only the initial six months of the project, during which concrete work on the platform has not yet commenced. Consequently, data regarding algorithms or similar technical aspects is not available. Instead, the focus has been on conducting qualitative interviews and surveys as part of the efforts for Work Package 1: Developing European multimodal transport ontology and classifying disruptive events and their impact on transport networks. At present, the dataset primarily consists of a small amount of data points collected from these qualitative interviews and surveys. However, it is crucial to emphasize that additional data, sourced from diverse channels, will be integrated into ReMuNet’s dataset moving forward. Notably, these interviews were conducted collaboratively with HANKEN, and the joint survey is a co-production with ReMuNet’s sister-project SARIL, that was funded by the European Union under grant agreement ID 101103978. Each of these entities maintains its own data security policies. Leveraging these collaborations has enabled both projects to reach a wider audience and gather more pertinent data. Furthermore, the commitment to adapt and refine practices is reflected in the periodic updates anticipated throughout the project's lifecycle. These updates will address evolving project needs and the increasing diversity of collected data. Ultimately, this deliverable serves as a valuable resource for project beneficiaries, offering a transparent understanding of methodologies for working with various data types. It fosters transparency and confidence in the integrity and security of the information driving the ReMuNet project.
