Long-term preservation of non-public data produced by the project

[p-a-s-c-a-l]

This is this a question related to Non-Open Data produced by CLARITY (mainly WP2/DC data):

The data management plan has to give an answer on what happens to these data after the end of the project, e.g. how can it be preserved and made available for usage in follow-up projects, commercial exploitation, etc. or to third parties on request. So it's mainly a question where and for how long the data will be stored post-project.

For open data produced by CLARITY, the answer is clear: we put in on Zenodo. But what about but non-open data produced by the project?

There is a possibility to upload data files to Zenodo under closed or restricted access:

• closed access means, files are not publicly accessible. So nobody is able to access the data. Main purpose is long-term archival of non-public project results. Example Dataset
• restricted access means anybody may request access to the files stored on zenodo, provided that he fulfils the conditions stated by the owner of the data. The decision whether to grant/deny access is solely under the responsibility of the record owner. Example Dataset.

Alternatively, we keep the non-public results on the sFTP (for how long?) or in institutional repositories. But then this has to be clearly stated in the DMP for each non-open datasets produced by CLARITY.
