Develop Data Management and Open Science practices

 

When KM3NeT construction will be close to completion, data taking will proceed at full pace, requiring that an appropriate data management and processing system will be in place. Therefore, the fourth INFRADEV2 work package was dedicated to data management and Open Science.

It aimed to establish a suitable workflow for data management, processing and storage, developing data models and software for asynchronous multi-instrument analyses of open data and the integration of KM3NeT into the global online multi-messenger networks. Benefiting from the results of the ASTERICS, ESCAPE and INFRADEV European projects, WP4 allowed:

  • For the review and update the KM3NeT Data Management Plan (DMP) in order to meet the future data and computing needs of the Collaboration.
  • To facilitate open data access, in line with FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability) principles, by adapting software frameworks in a cross-disciplinary approach and by implementing an updated open science system.
  • To contribute to global multi-messenger alert systems by enhancing dissemination channels and content for follow-ups of external alerts, integrating triggered data into multi-instrument analysis pipelines and implementing real-time data processing.

The activities of WP4 were coordinated by Jutta Schnabel of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU, Germany),
