The Data Management Plan (DMP) of the project is written, in compliance with the H2020 Data Management Guidelines, also based on inputs from WP8. It outlines a data management policy, including data to be generated by the project, its potential exploitation, curation and preservation. Additionally, in line with the principles of Open Access to research data and publications generated through H2020 programmes, NAUTILOS participates in the Open Research Data Pilot carried out by the European Commission.

NAUTILOS Quality Plan describes the quality processes and procedures to be adopted within NAUTILOS. It provides a detailed presentation of the quality management process procedures and timing – quality review, deliverable review, peer reviews, stage- gate reviews and the deadlines for each. There are sections on risk management, issues management, quality of the communication. The following deliverable represents the initial version of the plan.

Review of technical requirements for marine sensor systems and the evaluation and establishment of technical requirements for NAUTILOS based on the need to ensure compatibility, modularity, and durability. Cost-savings and manufacturing scalability are considered.

The document compiles all relevant information for 1) technical requirements and specifications for sensors and samplers developed in this project, 2) Standard sensor and system specifications including sensor electronics, mechanics, material selection, biofouling, communication systems, protocols, data management, analytics, and 3) Sensor integration requirements: platform-independent, use of standards (e.g. communication protocols), low-power, cost-effectiveness (low man power demand).

Report and fabrication of a dissolved oxygen sensors based on fluorescence quenching: a novel system based on the direct measurement of the fluorescence time decay constant will be developed; the exponential decay of the fluorescence will be measured without any exciting light source, eliminating the need for a selective filtering; a high-performance time-to-digital converter will be used to extrapolate fluorescence time constant and hence dissolved oxygen concentration.

The deliverable will be a report discussing the available tools for guaranteeing that project documents will be achieved, and long-term publicly available and referable. Services and tools such as SEANOE, Zenodo, ResearchGate, etc., will be considered and discussed. Finally, the deliverable will define a method to be applied to the project documents (according to the disclosure document level).

The deliverable will be a report describing common methods for parameter-platform management, from collection (and procedures for data quality insurance) to dissemination by making data available and linkable to other European Infrastructure such as EMODnet, CMEMS, SeaDataNet etc. as well as European directives (e.g. INSPIRE). To this aim, standards such as controlled vocabularies for metadata will be discussed and adopted.
In case of new data for which a harmonized workflow is not yet consolidated, NAUTILOS will design it and interact with other initiatives (e.g EMODnet Ingestion) designed to collect and store new and orphan data.The deliverable will be a report describing common methods for parameter-platform management, from collection (and procedures for data quality insurance) to dissemination by making data available and linkable to other European Infrastructure such as EMODnet, CMEMS, SeaDataNet etc. as well as European directives (e.g. INSPIRE).

To guarantee the maximal visibility of the NAUTILOS project products a dedicated catalogue will collect and list the produced data products. There are different tools and services to set up catalogues e.g. Sextant, GeoNetwork, EPOS, etc. The report will discuss pros vs. cons of the available solutions and identify the best option for the project. The catalogue will also be linked with dissemination tools/channels such as ERDAPP or THREDDS that will guarantee easy interoperability and up to date machine-to-machine services. The document will discuss the technical implementation of this solution.

This deliverable will consist of the specific tools and interface for supporting the Citizen Science Campaigns, to integrate the data produced during these activities (see Task 12.2) within the web portal. The interface, realized in Task 8.4, will be based on geo-referenced maps indicating, for instance, plastic litter data. An accompanying report with the guidelines for the usage of these tools and interface will be produced.

The following report will outline the communication and dissemination strategy and actions that will be implemented throughout the project’s lifetime in order to achieve the project’s widest promotion, greatest visibility and awareness to the external audiences with a particular emphasis on citizen science campaigns.

The Communication and Dissemination Plan will provide the framework and structure of all project information, communication and activities; will define the communication goals, the objectives and timelines; will allocate responsibilities on a per partner level and define a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for the quantification and measurement of the communication and dissemination activities’ success.

The project’s website will be created by M4 and will function at least 2 years after the project’s end. It will include:
1) public area – the public area will provide information on the project, the consortium, the project results (including public deliverables etc.) and KER, topic related information, news and links, past and upcoming events, social media links.
2) private area – to facilitate the dialogue and exchange of information within the consortium, hold all the reference documentation that partners will need during the project.
