FEAST - Data Management Plan

Reiner Braun; Brigitte Braun; Anant Jani; Jackson, Susan

Abstract

“Good data management and stewardship is not a goal in itself, but rather a pre-condition supporting knowledge discovery and innovation”. The structure of the FEAST DMP follows the structure of the template provided by the EU for Horizon Europe projects. This document is the first version of the FEAST DMP; the DMP will be continuously updated during the course of the project. All FEAST partners are responsible for data generated, creation of meta data, and following FAIR principles. Further to this, the DMP is designed to meet FEAST partner needs. To this end, to gain insight into partners’ specific needs as well as any data they will be collecting or producing in FEAST, a survey was conducted of all partners (the survey questions can be found in Annex 2 - Survey Questions). The answers to the surveys are summarized in sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.2.1 and 6.4 and were used to inform the design and delivery of the FEAST DMP. FEAST research data will align with the EC strategy on Web of FAIR Data and Services to interlink data spaces. More information can be accessed at www.feast2030.eu

This document is the first version of the FEAST DMP; the DMP will be continuously updated during the course of the project. All FEAST partners are responsible for data generated, creation of meta data, and following FAIR principles. Further to this, the DMP is designed to meet FEAST partner needs. To this end, to gain insight into partners’ specific needs as well as any data they will be collecting or producing in FEAST, a survey was conducted of all partners (the survey questions can be found in Annex 2 - Survey Questions). The answers to the surveys are summarized in sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.2.1 and 6.4 and were used to inform the design and delivery of the FEAST DMP. FEAST research data will align with the EC strategy on Web of FAIR Data and Services to interlink data spaces. 1.1 Research data management and management of other research outputs Data will be managed comprehensively during the project through work package (WP) 1. The Data Management Plan (DMP) describes the management of data and other research outputs of the project. FEAST will make content discoverable, accessible, intelligible, and usable by all European citizens. The DMP includes information on the handling of research data during and after the project including: what data will be collected, processed, protected and/or generated, which methodology and standards will be applied, whether the data will be shared/made open access, and how data will be curated and preserved. In addition, when possible, confidential data will be aggregated (spatially or by economic sector) in order to avoid any possibility of tracking down personal and individual information. During the course of the project, the DMP team will meticulously collect the individual inputs from every partner - complete, correct and harmonize as much as possible based on partner’s needs and practices. These processes will be regularly updated throughout the project. FEAST will be advised by the Data Protection Officers (DPO)available at partner institutes and/or the FEAST's WP 9 (Ethics) which is coordinating all ethics related processes and procedures for the project, regarding the appropriate management and use of research data. All data or documents produced or processed for governmental procedures are not affected by this DMP. This plan is a working document and will be regularly updated when necessary, and all project partners will be informed about the changes made to this document within 10 working days of any changes. This first version of the DMP establishes the underlying principles, methods and standards to direct data processing procedures (e.g. data collection, generation, etc.). Rules and principles: FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’ will be FEAST’s guiding principles. Each partner in the FEAST Consortium is responsible for data stored locally and for complying with their own standard operating procedures (SOPs) and any FEAST-specific SOP that may be created, if deemed necessary, as well for complying to the relevant legal and ethical requirements. FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 7 of 37 The following general terms regarding data protection will be put into data management guidelines and followed by the partners in the FEAST Consortium: i. the amount of data collected is relevant and not excessive ii. data are stored securely with regular backups, based on data type and data importance iii. data are fairly and lawfully processed iv. data accuracy is ensured (i.e., all reasonable efforts to ensure data accuracy are undertaken) v. data are used only in ways that are compatible with original consent or agreement vi. and relevant national and international regulations regarding data protection will be applied We will comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provisions. Collection of personal data, as defined by GDPR, will be avoided as much as possible; in the instances where personal data is collected, appropriate mechanisms will be established to collect, store and use this data safely and securely. 1.2 FEAST’s Data Management Working Group The Data Management Working Group (DMWG) will meet at regular intervals (at a minimum, once every two months) to discuss relevant topics. The initial focus of the DMWG will be to: • Get feedback on the DMP from FEAST’s Secretariat • Decide which tools will be used for data management during the project • Decide whether partners need training • Communicate with WP 9 (Ethics) to coordinate (see also section 4) 2 Data Summary 2.1 FEAST Strategic Objectives To achieve our ends, FEAST will deliver on four interlinked objectives which will help us achieve our ambition of catalysing the transition to ‘Win-Win-Win-Win' food systems in Europe over the five years of this work. FEAST Objective 1: Identify, understand and measure the barriers and facilitators that influence the dietary behaviour of different groups (particularly vulnerable groups in Europe), accounting for geographical, socio-economic, behavioural, gender and cultural differences (WPs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 – see Annex 3 for a description of FEAST WPs) FEAST Objective 2: Co-create (ideation, design and testing) innovative and effective tools, programmes and strategies, including social innovations, in collaboration with key stakeholders in Europe that will enable consumers to make informed food choices that promote the selfmanagement of healthier and more sustainable dietary behaviours and lifestyles (WPs 3, 4, 5, 7) FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 14 of 37 5 - To ensure that standardised and recognised data sets that have already been rigorously analysed and reviewed to ensure reliability are used e.g., measures of food insecurity that are already out there - To choose a good tool, extra information for app and feature determination, test applications (from other companies), develop FEAST tools - To build the design challenges to be answered within the hackathons - To develop concrete solutions within the hackathons starting from existing open source projects or existing datasets/knowledge - Workshop guidelines/protocols already held - Code already developed, - Previous surveys - Knowledge from other EU projects (deliverables, open datasets, papers, collections of methodologies, best practices, or use cases) 6 - To calibrate the model with existing data from public sources in order to address the research questions posed in the project - To enable comparisons of the results with results from other researchers using the same public data sources and apply modelling approaches using existing databases or primary data collected by other WPs in FEAST. - To highlight the links between drivers impacting food choice and behavior, at different levels (micro, meso, macro) - FAOSTAT data3 - National data on agricultural practices and dietary patterns - National dietary surveys for model development - Existing databases, especially from Eurostat and land use - Existing simulation models - Statistic data on food and health systems provided by official governmental institutions 7 - Assessing policy dialogue methodologies and examining evidence related to thematic areas that support policy action for transforming food systems to be healthy and sustainable - Build on existing knowledge for literature review, network analysis of European food stakeholders/policies - Develop tools and policy recommendations from other sources - Literature review (peer-reviewed and gray literature) and expert interviews and data scraping using the internet - Questionnaire data and catalogues of best practices - EU-level consultations, multi-level policies, roundtables, and interviews - Best practice and policy recommendations from other associated projects 8 - To frame existing initiatives on food behavior change - To build a syllabus for researchers or people interested in the topics of food and health - To communicate and disseminate best practices from partners and other projects- - Documents provided by the partners for communication and dissemination (e.g. cook book, GFO materials, WHO materials) FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 15 of 37 5.4 Expected size of the data that is intended to be generated or re-used To estimate the size of the primary and secondary dataset that will be generated over the course of the project, FEAST partners were asked if they could estimate the minimum and maximum amount of data they will generate (Annex 2, Q16). The data categories from Table 3 were used to inform the calculations. FEAST partners estimate between 0.024 and 0.717 terabytes will be needed for data storage (Table 5). The evolution of data production will be monitored and the storage needs will be revisited and revised if needed. Table 5 Estimated amount of primary and secondary data in terabyte that will be generated during the FEAST project Min. Max. Primary data 0.017 0.395 Secondary data 0.007 0.322 Sum 0.024 0.717 5.5 To whom might the data be useful (‘data utility’) outside FEAST Given FEAST’s reach across micro, meso and macro levels of the food system, there is a requirement to communicate and provide data access to a variety of external audiences outside the FEAST consortium to ensure effective data re-use of FEAST’s research data. FEAST internal: Co-leaders of tasks mainly (WP4 and WP5) The data generated in FEAST will be converted into a suitable form and made available to various ‘data-utilities’ during the project. Mapping potential data users with appropriate services are important to encourage subsequent use of the data and to support relevant actors can make concrete use of FEAST results. An extended analysis of FEAST stakeholders and potential data users can also be found in FEAST's DEC Strategy, particularly in section 2.2. FEAST partners were asked to identify potential stakeholders that will be interested in re-using FEAST research data, common to all WPs are following groups: • Other researchers, scientists and • Research institutions, Universities • Broader scientific communities More specific stakeholder groups that would be potential users of FEAST research data are summarised in Table 6: FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 16 of 37 Table 6 Identified stakeholder groups that would be potential users of FEAST research data WP To whom might your data be useful ('data utility'), outside the FEAST project? (Q22) 2 - Food companies and government stakeholders - Policy makers, local governments, national governments, researchers 3 - Public, government - Stakeholders with an interest in duplicating or assessing interventions, researchers - Living labs involved in FEAST and other funded EU projects working in a similar area 4 - Local and EU level policy makers, local authorities - Public and other food sustainability stakeholders - Policy makers at local governments in EU - Local communities, citizens, and stakeholders in the LL sites - Other municipalities (not part of FEAST) - Schools, health service providers, - Local product suppliers (farmers, fishermen and their associations) - Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) - Local governments working on a food strategy - Stakeholders working with people in vulnerable situations 5 - Other cities that want to use digital applications, other cities that want to assess citizen needs - Policy makers and researchers looking to build on the evidence generated from FEAST’s trials - Local authorities interested in the FEAST project and solutions; Profit/not-for-profit organizations taking care of vulnerable people (ie. hospitals, shelters, hospices) - Start-ups 6 - Other researchers, policy makers, other actors in the food system - The results of the model will be useful for policy makers. - The model script and data used will be published in an open-access journal 7 - Policy makers - Civil society organisations and citizens - Other related Horizon Europe projects and other research teams 8 - Citizens - Small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) - Other funded research projects, NGOs (e.g. WHO, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)) - Media 6 FAIR data Making research data interoperable and machine-actionable following FAIR principles will involve the federation of existing research data infrastructures and the realisation of a Web of FAIR Data and Related Services for Science.4 The ability of machines to find and use data automatically, and to support its re-use by individuals, are fundamental components of the FAIR Principles.1 Linked to FEAST DMP Objectives 3 and 4, the following section describes the methods and mechanisms that will be used in FEAST to make the research data generated in FEAST FAIR. Chapter FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 17 of 37 6.1 shows how the data can be made findable (F). Chapter 6.2 is dedicated to the A, accessible, here among other things, repositories are identified which are suitable for FEAST datasets. The last two chapters describe how FEAST’s data can be made interoperable (6.3) and thus re-usable (6.4). 6.1 Making data findable, including provisions for metadata To make data findable, the data must be described by metadata; a good description of the data sets is the prerequisite for identification and thus findability. Data sets including publications will be publicly available. A persistent identifier (PID), such as Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), will be used for naming and locating documents, data, and software in a consistent manner. PIDs can identify many different entities:5 • Digital - Documents, data, software, services • Physical - People, instruments, artefacts, samples • Conceptual - Organizations, projects, vocabularies Given this, the FEAST team will define a set of PIDs that will be used to foster the findability of FEAST’s research data. Table 7 shows a first collection of PIDs that can be used. Table 7 List of persistent identifiers (PIDs) that will be further explored by the FEAST team PID Name Description and Hyperlink DOI DOI.ORG provides a PID called DOI to Registration Agencies to identifiy digital objects https://www.doi.org/ ORCID ORCID provides a PID (an ORCID iD) that a researcher owns and controls and that distinguishes the researcher from every other researcher. https://orcid.org/ (Physical - People) ROR The Research Organization Registry (ROR) is a global, communityled registry of open persistent identifiers for research organizations. ROR includes IDs and metadata for organizations and counting. Registry data is available under CC0 and openly available via a search interface, REST API, and data dump. https://ror.org/ (Conceptual – organization) FEAST’s DMWG will also explore Registration Agencies (RAs) such as Datacite or Crossref 1 and their potential use in FEAST. 1 Global provider of DOIs for research data to locate, identify, and cite research data. https://datacite.org/ and https://www.crossref.org FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 18 of 37 6.1.1 Metadata to allow discovery and Search Keywords Digital artefacts will be described with rich metadata, assigned a PID and be released with a clear and accessible usage licence to facilitate sharing and exploitation of research data by the academic, not for profit, public and private sectors. FEAST will collect and structure metadata to enable discovery and reuse and will follow metadata standards that comply with the corresponding data repositories such as Zenodo (general standards). The identification of the right metadata will be done at a later stage of the project. The following list provides a first overview of metadata classifiers that can be assigned to the data sets: • Original purpose, project WP/task • PID • Publication data • Title • Authors of data product • Description • Data source, collection and analysis method • Licence • Keywords Therefore, the FEAST DMWG will request data suppliers (FEAST research partners) to ensure that any dataset should be provided with a corresponding metadata file. A list of search words is planned. Search words that are suitable for the individual data sets will be decided specifically on the basis of the data set and the standards of the data repositories that will be used to publish FEAST’s research data. 6.2 Making data accessible 6.2.1 Data Repositories and Metadata FEAST partners are already using different repositories for the deposition of their research data. The consortium will decide which data repositories are going to be used for the project once the data collection process has started and the data is described with metadata. Code will be stored at partner Git repositories. Table 8 shows a first collection of trusted data repositories that will be further explored for use in FEAST. Table 8 List of trusted data repositories that will be further explored by the FEAST team Repository Name Hyperlink Mendeley Data https://data.mendeley.com Zenodo https://zenodo.org FigShare https://figshare.com GitHub and/or GitLab to publish code https://github.com/, https://gitlab.com/ In addition to the more general data repositories, there are also specific data repositories operated by FEAST partners, as shown in Table 9. FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 19 of 37 Table 9 List of data repositories operated by FEAST partners FEAST partner Hyperlink University of Heidelberg (UKHD) https://heidata.uni-heidelberg.de/ Institut de Recherche Pour Le Development (IRD) https://dataverse.ird.fr/ Katholieke University of Leuven (KUL) https://rdr.kuleuven.be/ 6.2.2 Data Licence and Metadata FEAST’s partners will follow the principle ‘as open as possible and as closed as necessary’ for output sharing and achieving a high impact. Based on FEAST partner requirements and the data they will collect, we will explore different options with the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of FEAST partners to determine restrictions on data use, how access will be provided to the data and how the identity of the person accessing the data be ascertained. FEAST will use systematically, and obligatory, open licensing models (mainly CC-BY), as defined by the Open Knowledge Foundation6. The licensing models will be applied to publications, content, data and code. Metadata of deposited publications will be made open under a Creative Common Public Domain Dedication (CC 0) or equivalent as defined in the Grant Agreement under Article 17. The FEAST DMWG will further evaluate if there is a need to set up a data access committee. 6.3 Making data interoperable FEAST partners will use common vocabularies and protocols to ensure FEAST data aligns with other datasets in the sector. There are several protocols that can be used to facilitate these processes, including: • MAXQDA - a software program designed for computer-assisted qualitative and mixed methods data, text and multimedia analysis • Community-endorsed ontologies, such as used by FAO, based on https://www.fao.org/agrovoc/about • Data content (structure, period, sample population, etc.) will be described using the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) standard and a methodological overview (.docx) • CESSDA – European social science research protocols • OpenAIRE Guidelines - https://guidelines.openaire.eu/en/latest/ If no suitable vocabularies or protocols can be found, or if they are not suitable for the data collected in FEAST, mappings to more commonly used standards will be carried out. 6.4 Increase data re-use Documentation needed to validate data analysis and facilitate data re-use will be provided as soon as relevant data sets are published. FEAST’s research partners will provide readme files, study FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 20 of 37 protocols and analyses in an analytical plan document (e.g., data cleaning steps) with all relevant information to enable validation of the data analysis as well as facilitate data re-use. This can include, but is not limited to: • information on methodology (methodology documents) • codebooks, software manuals • protocols on data cleaning, analyses, variable definitions, units of measurement • definitions • clear contact information FEASTs default way of publishing papers and data will be through the gold standard. Nevertheless, at this stage it is not yet clear whether embargo times will be needed, as the survey of partners shows. Around 58% of FEAST’s partners do not see a need of an embargo period, 42% are uncertain whether one is necessary for their outputs (Figure 3). Further to this, partners will clarify which data needs to be closed once data generation has begun. Figure 3 Percentage representation of the question about embargo period of data and publication 7 Other research outputs Other research outputs like graphical abstracts of FEASTs research approach, infographics, posters, power point presentations, videos, etc. will be made accessible through the FEAST web page. As far as possible, licenses for further use will be indicated. The website will be available online for at least three years after the end of the project and will be operated and maintained by the partner os4os. 8 Allocation of resources Figure 1 in section 3 shows the hybrid cloud infrastructure set up in FEAST. The costs for the operation of the cloud system and the Back-Up systems is covered by FEAST’s partner os4os. The costs for the operation of the institutional servers at partners’ home institutions are covered by each partner. Furthermore, several research partners have allocated costs for open access publication. However, since publication costs can vary widely, the data management working group 0% 58% 42% Q28 - Will your data and publication need an embargo period? Yes No Maybe FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 21 of 37 (DMWG) will work on a list of potential journals in which to publish to help increase the visibility of FEAST results while also supporting appropriate cost planning. Data set creators, generally researchers, will be responsible for data management/following the FAIR principles (e.g. creation of metadata, etc.). The DMWG will provide support to individuals and institutions by developing guidelines, courses, provide relevant information, provide relevant tools and infrastructure. Long term preservation will be ensured by uploading the final data sets and publication to trusted repositories (see section 6.2.1). The allocation of resources for long term preservation will be discussed at a later stage of the project. 9 Other issues There are no other issues at the time being. FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 22 of 37 Glossary The following glossary provides definitions of the most important terms used in the DMP. Citation to the relevant source is provided. Data controller A person, company or other body that determines the purpose and means of personal data processing. Data processor A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processed personal data on behalf of the controller. Data Protection Officer (DPO) The primary role of the data protection officer (DPO) is to ensure that her organisation processes the personal data of its staff, customers, providers or any other individuals (also referred to as data subjects) in compliance with the applicable data protection rules.7 FAIR Principles FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. It refers to the FAIR Data Principles developed by the FORCE 11 community, that recommend data should be shared according to these four concepts.5 Metadata With metadata in the context of this PID policy we mean all kinds of assertions about properties of the bit sequence of a digital object such as descriptive, deep scientific, contextual, provenance, access permissions, transactions etc. This kind of metadata is not stored in the PID record as kernel attributes, however the PID record in general should point to the metadata.5 Personal Data Any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, for example name, phone number, address, photo, social security number etc.. Persistent Identifier (PID) A persistent, unique and globally resolvable identifier that is based on an openly specified PID Scheme.5 Processing personal data Any operation or set of operations performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, storage, adaption or alternation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, blocking, reassure or destruction. Sensitive personal data Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, and data concerning health or sex life.

FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 35 of 37 Annex 3 – Brief Work Package Description WP 1 & 9 - Project Management & Ethics requirements The overall purpose of the activity is to provide project management and coordination for the FEAST project across all other activites. All partners will contribute to effective management through a contract and delivery of technical and financial reports. WP2 - Mapping & monitoring dietary patterns Current research on mapping and monitoring dietary behaviours is limited to a few EU countries using different survey focuses, methods, and tools. The most popular ‘food frequency questionnaire’, for example, can measure adherence to healthy diets and in few cases minimally or partially capture the behavioural and communication aspect of food that leads to improved healthy diets. Our approach will advance the state of the art by first reviewing current literature and subsequently improving and integrating tools while applying robust methods including crosssectional surveys, experiments and the collection of primary data through citizen science initiatives to triangulate our data and overcome these limitations. Our aim will be to fully capture which foods are overand under-consumed by vulnerable societal groups and the factors influencing their behaviours. These insights will support the development of targeted strategies for specific population segments to enable the transition to healthier and more sustainable diets. WP3 - Mapping and Monitoring factors that shape food environments Food environments (consisting of public and private sectors as well as communities) have an important role in determing the types of food citizens have access to. The individual and collective actions of these sectors will, to a large extent, determine the opportunities that citizens have to eat healthy and sustainable diets. We will apply rigorous methods to gain insight into the roles of business, governments and communities in influencing the transition to healthier and more sustainable food environments in line with Farm2Fork aims. The overarching objective here is to improve our understanding of the barriers and enabling factors affecting food system actors’ efforts to improve food environments and to produce, process, promote and provide affordable, sufficient, healthy and environmentally, socially and economically sustainable food products, processes and services to respond to citizens’ needs, requirements and preferences. WP4 - Co-developed community-based solutions Food systems across Europe are very heterogeneous. Despite the fact that different areas will face similar problems (such as high consumption of unhealthy/unsustainable diets, especially among vulnerable groups), the root causes that lead to and perpetuate these problems will be different across different contexts. This means that it will not be possible to create one-size-fits all solutions for these problems and it means that co-created solutions that account for local contextual factors will be essential to effectively tackle these problems. The overarching objective of WP4 is to codevelop community-based solutions to support the just transition to healthier and more sustainable dietary behaviour. FEAST Data Management Plan (DMP) Page 36 of 37 WP5 - Co-developed tech-based solutions Technology-based solutions can play a very important role in supporting the transition to healthier and more sustainable dietary behaviours at the micro and meso-levels of food systems. The goal of WP5 is to design novel technology-based solutions, scale solutions and evaluate the causal impact of existing technologies for promoting the transitions to healthier and more sustainable diets, particularly in vulnerable groups. These solutions will be tested for both individuals and communities. WP6 - Understanding and measuring the impacts Our goal with this WP is to work on a common modelling framework that can be used across regions (both cities and rural areas) with a vision of weaving outcomes together for regional and global comparative analyses. Simulation models that are able to more clearly articulate how actions on a micro level are going to have an impact on a macro level can be used to design solutions at a macro level and vice versa. The applicability for policy makers will be key and the produced model will be as easy to handle as possible. Formally, the model will make it possible to i) characterise and prioritise the determinants of food system evolution and ii) assess the impacts of public actions or changes in behaviours. Our approach will directly address the challenge of building an architecture that takes into account the heterogeneity of the nature of the information and the scales of relations. WP7 - Policy dialogues to inform food system governance The primary objective of WP7 is to co-design policy and recommendations for policymakers using a policy dialogue methodology underpinned by scientific evidence and stakeholder engagement to facilitate the transition towards healthy and sustainable diets. The key output will be a road-map and set of policy briefs identifying opportunities across different policy levels, involving different food system actors, to achieve a fairer/more equal transition to healthy and sustainable dietary behaviours. WP8 - Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication FEAST is designed to create a paradigm shift for food systems to ones that are fairer, healthier and more environmentally friendly for all actors (primary production to consumption), particularly vulnerable populations. Our pathway to impact will begin by working through our Multi-Actor Approach (MAA) to leverage the results and outputs from FEAST to ensure broad-scale strategic dissemination of the project’s findings and key messages, enabling their uptake and integration in future strategies and practices developed by local, regional and national governments, and simultaneously engaging the general public (consumers, citizens), production/supply side actors and young professionals in the implementation of such strategies - thus inspiring each target group to move upwards in the engagement pyramid, and further exploiting FEAST’s potential to build capacity. The dissemination and exploitation planning will ensure the generated results achieve FEAST’s intended outcomes and maximises the overall impacts of the project by efficiently reaching clearly defined stakeholders through wide-reaching communication activities, efficient dissemination and impactful capacity building. The overarching objective of WP8 is to raise levels of awareness of food systems actors, including citizens, about transition towards healthy and sustainable food behaviours.
