 ## What is a DMP
 
-Data Management Plan (DMP) is a document outlining how research data will be handled throughout research lifecycle. A DMP is a structured way to address data collection, organization, storage, sharing, and preservation. It outlines the measures taken to ensure data security. DMP also address how data will be preserved and made available for future use.

 ## DMPonline
 
-VU Amsterdam offers the online tool [DMPonline](https://dmponline.vu.nl/) for writing Data Management Plans. DMPonline is a platform that offers a range of templates, ensuring that researchers can create DMPs to meet the standards of diverse funders and institutions associated with their projects. The setup of DMPonline makes it easy to work on a DMP together with colleagues, advisors, or other stakeholders. VU Amsterdam researchers can use the request feedback function of DMPonline to get their DMP reviewed by a faculty data steward or RDM Support Desk colleague.

 ## Choosing the right template
 
-Various templates exist in which you can set up your DMP. We strongly recommend you to use the VU template, which is called `VU DMP template 2021 (NWO & ZonMw certified) v1.4`. Below is explained how to use this template. If you need to write a DMP for funding agencies NWO, ZonMw or ERC, you can use the VU template as well.

 ### How does registration of personal data processing work in research?
 
-If your research is subject to the (GDPR)[eventually link to a GDPR page], then you need to register information on your research in a central VU registry. This central registry lists all personal data processing activities carried out at the VU. The registry indicates why and how personal data are processed, and with whom they are shared. The registry helps organisations to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR and in the case of a data breach, the registry helps with monitoring and acting swiftly to inform all relevant stakeholders.

-For research projects, the VU registers data processing via [DMPonline](https://dmponline.vu.nl/). You can create your registration by logging into DMPonline and following the instructions under “Choose the right template”. Once you get to the two VU templates, you can fill in the VU DMP template if you need to write a DMP anyway and the information you include will be used for the registry. Alternatively, you can use the separate GDPR registration form if you don't need to write a (new) DMP. Your faculty's [Privacy Champion](https://vu.nl/en/employee/privacy-and-information-security/privacy-champions-information) can help you with your registration.

 ## What is data
 
-Research data is any information that has been collected, observed, generated or created to validate original research findings. Examples of data could be interview recordings, experiment results, physical measurement,  notes from focus group's  meetings, notes from fieldwork, observations captured in photographs,  film or audio, text files extracted from a corpus, image of archival items or artworks, scraped websites, responses to survey questions.  Algorithms, code, scripts and software, simulations are often considered as research data. There is also physical data: samples, collections, artifacts.

Algorithms, simulations, code, scripts and software are often also considered as research data. There is also physical data: (biological) samples, collections, artifacts etc. 
 
 Administrative documents, like informed consent forms and key files should be acknowledged as important elements of research data as well.

-Data assets are types of data, information collected or generated in the course of research activities. It is common to provide data assets based on data stage such as raw, processed, or analyzed. Raw Data refers to original data collected, Processed Data is data that has undergone some level of transformation or organization. Processing involves cleaning, formatting, and structuring raw data to make it more understandable and suitable for analysis. Analyzed Data usually results from statistical methods, detailed examination or interpretation.
