- Not an instance
An Active DMP under continual update.

A Living DMP versioned through repository releases.
Editorial commentary
Static DMPs are the historical default. They are easy to deliver but provide limited operational value during project execution and are weak evidence at audit because they do not reflect what actually happened. The contrast with Active and Living DMPs frames the rationale for maDMP adoption.
