Write a data management plan for ONE of the data science project scenarios given below OR seek approval in writing from the Unit Coordinator for an alternate scenario of your choice.

Your data management plan should identify data sources and articulate a reasonable approach to data acquisition, cleaning, integration, archival and analysis. 

Consideration should be given to hardware/software and processing requirements. 

Consider using measured, estimated, or simulated data to demonstrate the kind of data that you anticipate this project will use. 

From a high-level perspective describe in English how you anticipate this data will be analysed. You may consider using pseudo code to illustrate this or use Python or a similar programming language if you have the necessary skills. Note that actually analysing data is not a requirement for this assessment. 

The goal of this assessment is to demonstrate 

• expectations related to data volume, velocity, and variety, veracity, and value

• planning for metadata content and format

• a reasonable approach to project governance

• recommendations for data storage, publication, archival, and retirement

• strategies to guarantee data quality, security, and privacy
