The goal of data management is the efficient, legally compliant, and quality-oriented use of the data collected during the project. Particular emphasis is placed on the replicability, transparency, and traceability of the research results.

Data management plans ensure the sustainability of research data and the preservation of the cultural value they represent. They are not static documents but must be dynamically adapted to the respective research process.
