Editorial commentary
The narrative remains the primary deliverable to many funders, even where a maDMP also exists. It contextualises decisions (why a specific repository, why a particular embargo) that the structured machine-readable expression captures more tersely. In hybrid workflows, the narrative and the maDMP are generated from the same source content.
