数据管理计划（DMP）是伴随研究提案和项目产出的文件。DMP是以自由格式的文本形式创建的，描述了科学调查中使用的数据和工具。它们往往被视为一种行政活动，而不是研究实践的一个组成部分。现在人们普遍认识到，数据库可以有更多的主题，机器可操作的丰富性，为所有利益相关者提供附加值：研究人员，资助者，存储库管理员，研究管理员，数据库管理员等。研究界正在朝着一个共同的目标迈进，即通过在研究工具和系统之间交换信息，并将DMP嵌入现有工作流程，使DMP具有机器可操作性，以改善所有参与者的体验。这将使数据库的某些部分能够自动生成和共享，从而减少行政负担，提高数据库内信息的质量。本文提出了将机器可操作的DMP（maDMP）付诸实践并实现其效益的10条原则。这些原则载有各利益攸关方已经采取或应该采取的具体行动，以便在研究界共同努力，实现原则本身的更大目标。我们描述了现有的举措，以强调在实现maDMPs目标方面已经取得了多少进展，并呼吁那些希望参与其中的人采取行动。
Data management plans (DMPs) are documents accompanying research proposals and project outputs. DMPs are created as free-form text and describe the data and tools employed in scientific investigations. They are often seen as an administrative exercise and not as an integral part of research practice. There is now widespread recognition that the DMP can have more thematic, machine-actionable richness with added value for all stakeholders: researchers, funders, repository managers, research administrators, data librarians, and others. The research community is moving toward a shared goal of making DMPs machine-actionable to improve the experience for all involved by exchanging information across research tools and systems and embedding DMPs in existing workflows. This will enable parts of the DMP to be automatically generated and shared, thus reducing administrative burdens and improving the quality of information within a DMP. This paper presents 10 principles to put machine-actionable DMPs (maDMPs) into practice and realize their benefits. The principles contain specific actions that various stakeholders are already undertaking or should undertake in order to work together across research communities to achieve the larger aims of the principles themselves. We describe existing initiatives to highlight how much progress has already been made toward achieving the goals of maDMPs as well as a call to action for those who wish to get involved.
