Why do I need more than one Description?

You don’t necessarily need to have many Descriptions in a DMP or other research plans. However, you might be producing a plethora of outputs during your research that are diverse in type and/ or scope of collection/ re-use, thus presenting diverse management needs. ARGOS gives you the flexibility to describe all data produced and/ or re-used in your research separately. That way it is easy to perform the mapping of information provided in a DMP and other research plans to the respective types or collections they correspond to. Equally, reuse of particular descriptions in different DMPs and other research plans is easier. For the latter, please check “How do I create an identical DMP, other research plans or Description as a copy?”.
