Software development should build on the successful work of others. The DMPTool helps researchers with data management planning, but what about other phases of the data life cycle? In this webinar, we will discuss what software integration with the DMPTool might look like, and why it is important. Topics include: 1. Background: why tools integration is important; why we are talking about this in terms of the DMPTool. 2. Details and plans for DMPTool2 regarding software integration and compatibility. 3. Future possibilities for software integration for DMPTool2 4. Example of successful integration of tools: work at the Center for Open Science.

22. 2API"
• RESTful (Representational state transfer API)
– Commonly used as standard for building APIs
– Helps guarantee interoperability
• Use API to retrieve data from DMPTool2 site
– List of users, list of plans, etc.
• Data provided in JSON format
JSON: JavaScript Object Notation
Text-­‐based open standard for data structures
Designed for human-­‐readable data interchange

23. 2API"
• Accessible by any tool that can make HTTP
requests and receive HTTP responses
• API documentation will provide examples
using curl
curl: Client for URLs
way to get documents/files from or send
documents to a server

24. 2API"
• Requests authenticated using “basic auth” to
pass the DMPTool2 login credentials to access
user’s data
• Public information will be unrestricted
– Institutions
– DMP Templates & Resources
– Public DMPs

•
Don’t start by being open
Focus on efficiency
Are often constrained by collaborators
Want to do accurate science
Are not sure how
Will use tools that make openness practical

43. Open Science Framework
•
•
•
•
•
Respect workflow
Robust to different workflows
Integrate private and public workflows
Incentivize openness
Support top-­‐down and bottom-­‐up
incentivization
