This GCWG-RDA maDMP metadata application profile (MAP) and companion GCWG-RDA JSON schema are an extension of the international Research Data Alliance (RDA) common maDMP consensus standard and has been developed to collect additional information required in the context of government or other large organizations building automated systems to support Enterprise Information Management. This will enable programs and services to plan and improve delivery of data and information about the data, and to comply with new policy requirements while increasing efficiency and reducing costs. The maDMP MAP is the basis for collecting information in a consistent manner so as to enable a large organization to easily find the information needed to plan for the future, automate tasks, build catalogues and inventories, provide customized reports (e.g, for dataset approvals), answer questions about the data (e.g., where are the data stored, what is the expected annual growth rate, what are the associated costs and funding sources, which are the high priority datasets, who are the partner organizations and where are the signed agreements, what the technical resources, what software is used to process the data, etc.), and to identify ethical concerns and Indigenous considerations related to the data. The MAP provides basic interoperability between systems producing or consuming machine-actionable data management plans (maDMP's). The MAP and companion schema are the means for rapidly building reliable, lightweight, and easily customized automated systems with appropriate access controls while maximizing interoperability. The maDMP MAP is intended to cover a wide range of use cases and does not set any business requirements. It represents information collected over the whole data lifecycle from conception through to disposition. The required information is minimized to apply across all use cases. The remaining information in the MAP is set to optional to allow each organization to chose what is relevant to them but still remain interoperable. If you see opportunities for improvement to this MAP, we invite you to join the GC maDMP WG For more information see FAQ and useful links to consultations, documents, tools, prototypes, etc. developed by the working group. 
Provides high level information about the maDMP, e.g. its title, modification date, classification and protection level, metadata schema version, etc. It is the root of the metadata application profile. The majority of its fields are mandatory.
Specifies the party that can provide any information on the maDMP. This is not necessarily the maDMP creator, and can be a person or an organisation.
Specifies the approval status of the maDMP (e.g., approved, rejected, submitted, not applicable, unknown), the name and position of the approver, the approval date, and any other relevant information. In order for a basic minimum maDMP to be 'approved', all 'required' fields must have been completed. As the maDMP evolves over time, there may be additional required fields depending on the responses to other questions. For example, maDMP 'approval date' becomes required IF 'approval status' = 'approved', 'rejected', or 'submitted'. Another example: 'disposition action completed date' becomes required WHEN the action has been taken.
For listing all parties involved in the process of the data management described by this maDMP, and those parties involved in the creation and management of the maDMP itself.
Describes the project associated with the maDMP, if applicable. It can be used to describe any type of project: that is, not only funded projects, but also internal projects, PhD theses, etc.
For identifying partner organizations, type of agreements, and links to download the agreement when available (e.g., MOA - Memorandum of Agreement; MOU - Memorandum of Understanding; Indigenous data sharing agreement; BCR-band council resolution; Treaty; collaborative agreement; cooperative agreement; contract; cost-sharing agreement; contractual material; funding collaboration agreement; grant agreement; service level agreement, etc.).
To indicate if a project is funded or not and to identify funding sources (e.g. NSF, EC, EPA, Tri-Agency, internally funded).
Provides a list of costs related to data management.
This follows the defintion of Dataset in the W3C DCAT specification. Dataset can be understood as a logical entity depicting data, e.g. raw data. It provides high level information about the data. The granularity of dataset depends on a specific setting. In edge cases it can be a file, but also a collection of files in different formats. See FAQ for more details.
Used to indicate any specific requirements related to security and privacy of a specific dataset, e.g. to indicate that data are not anonymized.
For specifying equipment needed/used to create or process the data, e.g. a microscope, etc.
For describing disposition planning (retention period or perpetual use, destruction, alienation, or transfer to archives), description of archival value, any legal issues associated with disposition, etc.
This follows the definition of Distribution in the W3C DCAT specification. Distribution points to a specific instance of a dataset. Hence, distribution contains information such as the format and size of files. A dataset might be available in multiple serializations that may differ in various ways, including security classificaiton and protection level, natural language, media-type or format, schematic organization, temporal and spatial resolution, level of detail or profiles (which might specify any or all of the above). Examples of distributions include a CSV file, a data-cube, files made accessible according to different profiles such as XML or JSON schemas, anonymized/de-identified files, etc.
Used to indicate the license under which data (each specific Distribution) is made available. It also allows for modelling embargoes. See FAQ for more details.
Provides information on the system where data are stored. It can be used to provide details on a repository where data are deposited, e.g. a Core Trust Seal certified repository located in Europe that uses DOIs. It can also provide details on systems where data are stored and processed during research, e.g. a high performance computer that uses fast storage with two daily backups.
Provides a pointer to a metadata standard used to describe the data. It does not contain any actual metadata relating to the dataset.
Used to provide specific information relevant to Indigenous considerations (not found elsewhere in the maDMP), in line with funder requirements (e.g., Canada's Tri-Agency), the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and CARE Priniciples for Indigenous data governance. This would include, for example, identification of Indigenous groups, Indigenous community approval of the project, Indigenous control over data, Indigenous traditional knowledge, Indigenous research methods, use of Indigenous languages. The existence of other Indigenous related information may be identified in this section with the details provided in other sections of the maDMP. This includes Indigenous data sharing agreements (identified under Partner Organization), Indigenous languages used (identified under maDMP language and/or Dataset language and/or Distribution language), Indigenous data governance (described under Dataset data governance), Indigenous contributor role such as Indigenous traditional knowledge keeper (identified under Contributor role), and use of Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended character encoding (identified under maDMP character unicode block and/or Distribution character unicode block. |

| archival_value | Archival values is the ongoing usefulness or significance of records, based on the administrative, legal, fiscal, evidential, or historical information they contain, justifying their continued preservation. In general, records with archival value are estimated to make up only a small percentage of an organization’s records. In most organizations, the determination of which records are considered to have archival value is made by archivists. Sometimes, archivists distinguish between the concepts of historical value and archival value. In such cases, historical value is defined narrowly as the value of a record to support research in the history of people and the world, and archival value is defined broadly to encompass value that supports any type of research using permanent records, including psychological, sociological, and other types of scientific research.

It can be a formal statement describing how research data will be managed and documented throughout a research project and the terms regarding the subsequent deposit of the data with a data repository for long-term management and preservation (Library and Archives Canada). DMP's are living documents that outline a project’s plans for research data management. The content, format and length of DMPs depend on the nature of the given research project. DMPs can be developed to guide a single research project or span a multiproject research initiative or longer-term program of research. The DMP submitted at the application stage could, depending on the complexity and duration of the project, be presented as a more high-level outline and then be expanded on throughout the life of the project enabling automatic exchange, integration, and validation of information provided in DMPs. Machine-actonable DMP's (maDMP) are designed to support the exchange of information between systems, to provide basic interoperability between systems producing or consuming maDMPs, acting on behalf of stakeholders involved in the research life cycle (researchers, funders, repository managers, ICT providers, librarians, etc.) and the information represented over the whole DMP lifecycle (Research Data Alliance).

| research_method | "...Indigenous research needs to reflect Indigenous contexts and world views: that is, they must come from an Indigenous paradigm rather than an Indigenous perspective. ...One major difference between the dominant paradigms and an Indigenous paradigm is that the dominant paradigms build on the fundamental belief that knowledge is an individual entity: the researcher is an individual in search of knowledge, knowledge is something that is gained, and therefore knowledge may be owned by an individual. An Indigenous paradigm comes from the fundamental belief that knowledge is relational. Knowledge is shared with all of creation. It is not just interpersonal relationships, not just with the research subjects I may be working with, but it is a relationship with all of creation. It is with the cosmos, it is with the animals, with the plants, with the earth that we share this knowledge. It goes beyond the idea of individual knowledge to the concept of relational knowledge." (Shawn Hunt (2001). Some examples of Indigenous research methodologies include:
dadirri (australia), pathway (australia), sharing circle, sikolohiyang pilipino, storytelling, talanoa (samoa), talking circle, two-eyed seeing, whakawhiti kōrero (māori), yarning. REQUIREMENT:
