Connecting The Research Data Lifecycle: Event-Driven Vertical Interoperability with DMPonline, RSpace, and DMPsee

We present an approach that places the transformation of Data Management Plans (DMPs) from static documents into dynamic, interoperable entities at the core of our integration work. We introduce DMPsee, a new, event-driven notification service that enables this transformation. Changes made in DMPonline, such as creation, updates, or deletion, become secure, timestamped events that can trigger actions in connected systems like RSpace. This allows DMPs to actively coordinate research workflows rather than serving only as compliance artifacts. This approach represents a significant methodological innovation in research infrastructure design. Instead of relying on heavy, bespoke integrations, DMPsee uses lightweight webhooks and standardized events, improving resilience and scalability. Our work demonstrates a new model for delivering curation services at institutional and national levels, enabling platforms to plug into broader data ecosystems while also showing how digital infrastructures can be both technically robust and ecologically sustainable.
