Data Management Plan

The Data Management Plan will describe the data management life cycle for the Wizard of Oz and fully automatic ARIA generated data sets It will outline how our collected research data will be handled during and after ARIAVALUSPA It will describe what data will be collected processed or generated and following what methodology and standards whether and how this data will be shared andor made open and how it will be curated and preservedWe are committed to making all our data fully available to the research community through easily accessible web interfaces similar to the SEMAINE database A minor part of the data may be temporarily withheld from the public to allow the team to organise challenges for the research community on unseen data
