→‎DMPTool: Guidance and Resources for your data management plan
A number of U.S. funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation require researchers to supply detailed, cost-effective plans for managing research data, called Data Management Plans. To help researchers with this requirement, several organizations such as the California Digital Library, University of Illinois, University of Virginia, Smithsonian Institution, the DataONE consortium and the (UK) Digital Curation Centre) came together to develop the DMPTool. The goal of the DMPTool is to provide researchers with guidance, links to resources and help with writing data management plans.
This tool presents the requirements specific to the funding agency they are applying for along with detailed help with each section. Users can create a plan, preview it, export it in various formats, and make it freely accessible for others to read. Users who are members of participating institutions will benefit from specific help for each section, suggested answers, and resources for management of their data, all specific to their institution. Institutions can also announce events, workshops, and data management information via the DMPTool blog available from within the tool.
The This open-source software tool is integrated with federated login using Shibboleth which allows users to login via their home institutions. It is a Ruby/Rails application hosted on a SLES VM. We had a geographically distributed development team sharing code on Bitbucket.  This talk will demo the features of the application, providing information to staff at libraries, data centers as well as highlight the development practices and IT organizations who can infrastructure used in turn inform and train building the faculty members, researchers and administrators at their institutionsapplication.
