# Open Science Data Management Plan (OSDMP) — Excellence Edition **Author:** Louis-Philippe Audette — https://psivi.com — https://psivicom.github.io **Version:** 1.2.0 **Last Updated:** 2026-09-11T00:00:00.000Z **Licenses:** Code: EUPL 1.2 (`/LICENSE-EUPL-1.2.txt`) — Data/Docs/Media: CC BY-SA 4.0 (`/LICENSE-CC-BY-SA-4.0.md`) — See `/LICENSES/README.md` --- ## 1. Data Summary & Description This OSDMP covers the research data generated by the PSIVI.COM Open Science Hub, specifically focusing on: 1. **Goldstream Pollinator Forage Atlas:** Weekly transects, hive entrance imaging, and bloom sequence mapping for the Goldstream watershed (Langford, BC). 2. **SAR-Optical Fusion Phenology:** Backscatter and NDVI fusion outputs from RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM), Sentinel-2, and NASA Earthdata (MODIS, VIIRS, Landsat, SMAP, GPM) to detect green-up and drought stress in Garry oak meadow fragments. All data is designed to be FAIR-compliant (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and reproducible by the global scientific community. --- ## 2. FAIR Principles Mapping | Principle | Implementation | | :--- | :--- | | **Findable (F)** | Data and software are assigned persistent identifiers (DOIs) via Zenodo/OSF and indexed via GitHub and Schema.org JSON-LD on psivi.com. | | **Accessible (A)** | Data is retrievable via HTTPS and standard protocols. Metadata remains accessible via Zenodo/OSF archival even if the primary repository changes. | | **Interoperable (I)** | Data uses open, non-proprietary formats (`.csv`, `.json`, `.yml`, GeoTIFF). Metadata follows Frictionless Data (`datapackage.json`) and Codemeta standards. | | **Reusable (R)** | Data is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Code is licensed under EUPL 1.2. Rich provenance is maintained via Git and strict Zulu timestamps. | --- ## 3. Licensing Rationale — Why EUPL 1.2 + CC BY-SA 4.0 See `docs/LICENSE_COMPLIANCE.md` for the full compliance matrix. - **EUPL 1.2 for software:** The official open-source license of the European Commission and ESA. It is OSI-approved, fully satisfies NASA TOPS/SPD-41a mandates, and provides a strong copyleft clause (unlike MIT/Apache) to prevent closed-source hijacking of the research infrastructure. - **CC BY-SA 4.0 for data/docs/media:** NASA SPD-41a requires open data (CC BY 4.0, CC BY-SA 4.0, or CC0). ESA, CSA, JAXA, Horizon Europe, and UNESCO all mandate open licenses for non-code artifacts. The ShareAlike (SA) clause ensures that any derivative research or datasets built upon this work must also remain open, protecting the integrity of the open-science commons. - **Hardware Separation Wall:** All hardware designs, schematics, and physical IP are **All Rights Reserved** and managed separately at https://w-1-n.com. This repository contains only software, data, and documentation. This domain-separated model satisfies all global space agencies simultaneously while protecting the open-science nature of the research. --- ## 4. Open Science Practices - **Open by Default:** All software, data, and documentation are open by default. No embargoes are placed on research outputs unless required for the privacy/security of specific ecological coordinates (which are intentionally blurred). - **The Audette Clause:** As detailed in `/NOTICE.md`, this architecture was conceived and architected by Louis-Philippe Audette. Derivative works must prominently retain attribution. - **AI Transparency:** AI-assisted workflows are used for code generation and data structuring, but no AI-generated content is published without rigorous human review and validation (see `AI-COLLABORATION-PROTOCOL.md`). - **Reproducibility:** All processing pipelines are version-controlled. Synthetic datasets and pinned environments are provided to ensure third parties can exactly reproduce the SAR-optical fusion and pollinator mapping outputs. --- ## 5. Data Lifecycle & Archival 1. **Collection:** Raw field data (transects, hive logs) and Earth observation downloads (RCM, NASA Earthdata). 2. **Processing:** Cleaned and fused using version-controlled Python/Go scripts (EUPL 1.2). 3. **Validation:** Automated and human review for FAIR compliance and quality assurance. 4. **Archival:** Finalized datasets and software releases are pushed to **Zenodo** and the **Open Science Framework (OSF)** to mint permanent DOIs. 5. **Access:** Publicly available via the GitHub repository and linked directly from `psivi.com`. --- ## 6. Provenance & Timestamps To ensure absolute reproducibility and alignment with NASA SPD-41a standards, all data, logs, and file updates utilize strict Zulu time (UTC) with millisecond precision. **Format:** `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sssZ` (RFC3339 UTC) **Rule:** Always Zulu time (Z) with milliseconds. Never local time. Never timezone offsets. This strict temporal provenance ensures that time-series ecological data and software commits can be perfectly correlated across global research teams. --- ## 7.
