Checklists for data management in the project lifecycle#

These checklists represent what a dataset evolution might look like at different stages of a project. The checklists consider three different stages of a project:

  • just starting

  • project consolidation

  • sharing and publishing

The different views of the list highlight in yellow what should be accomplished at each stage and in blue what should have already happened.

Not all of these actions will have the same relevance for different projects and some datasets might need further specific actions.
