Data Collection per Work Package Sample Clauses

Data Collection per Work Package. In this chapter we describe the means of data collection for each Work Package, as indicated by the Work Package leaders. For each WP we describe the following items (as far as applicable): • What type of data will be collected? (measurements, observations, models, software….) • In what file formats? • How will the data be documented? • Will it be reproducible? • What is the estimated size of the data? • Which tools or software are needed to create/process/visualize the data? • Will you also use pre-existing data? From where? Next to that, each WP describes the way the type of data is managed and how long it needs to be preserved. We use the following four main types of research data: • Observational data: captured in real time, typically cannot be reproduced exactly • Experimental data: from test, can often be reproduced but may be expensive to do so • Simulation data: from models, can typically be reproduced if the input data is known • Derived or compiled data: after data mining or statistical analysis has been done, can be reproduced if analysis is documented Data types include text, numbers, images, models, software, reports, surveys. In the following sections, the above points are described per WP, as far as applicable.
