Question | Explanation | Answer |

Which existing data is being considered?
| Digital data (collections) acquired prior to start of project (e.g. name of collection).
| 1) Geomagnetic real time data about the Earth's magnetic field from observatories located in Denmark and Greenland. 2) Magnetic field models for data collected by satellites in collaborations with ESA. |
What should these data be used for (detailed description of questions and goals of the research project)? | DTU Space wants to improve the accessibility and visibility of their data and be acknowledged more. The main questions are: - Where can the data be stored in order to enhance visibility and accessibility?
- Which tools can be used for tracking usage of the data and data models and connecting them with publications?
- How can the visibility on DTU's webpages be improved?
|
Who is responsible for the data? | DTU Space. |
Are there any legal restrictions (sensible data, patents, copyrights)? | No, all data is open. However, commercial use should be approved by DTU Space. |
Who gets access to the data? | Everybody. All data should be open for the scientific community and the public. Commercial use may be restricted. |
Where is the data located? | On various ftp servers at DTU and international collaborators. On various databases of the scientific community. On the department's homepages. |
How big is the amount of data to be considered (e.g. GB/TB and number of objects and files)? | Not known exactly, but "manageable amounts" (not big data!). |
What file formats are present in the collections? | GPS, ASCII and software. |
Which tools are being used or are being considered (with links)? | For data acquisition and storage: For metadata and DOI creation: |
Do data and tools require special software / systems? | No. |
Other | Experience from other projects will be greatly helpful. |
Which new data is being generated within the project?
| What is the connection between existing and the new data? (Are there data products? Do all datasets need to be preserved?)
| All data should be preserved. Subsets of the real-time data can be regarded as new datasets. The magnetic field models are considered as data products. |
What should the new data be used for (detailed description of research questions and approach)? | The data should be of general use for the scientific community and the public. One specific idea could be an auroral forecast. |
Which file formats should the new data be in? | There is no "new" data created in that sense. |
What is the amount of new data created (size, number of files / objects)? | There is no "new" data created in that sense. |
Does the new data be of value after the end of the project and should be preserved? (If yes, which value and to whom?) | See above. |
Which tools should be used for the new data (with links)? | See above. |
Is the development of new tools being considered? | No. |
