Every year, the amount of data (in science) grows significantly as information technologies are used more intensively in various domains of human activities. Biologists, chemists, linguists, and others are not data experts but often just regular users who need to capture and process some huge amount of data. This is where serious problems emerge – bad data management leading to losing important data, producing unverifiable results, wasting funds, and so on. Thousands of qualified data stewards will be needed in following years to deal with this issues. At the Faculty of Information Technology, CTU in Prague, we participate in the European platform ELIXIR in which we work on the Data Stewardship Wizard to help researchers and data stewards with building high-quality FAIR data management plans that are accurate and helpful to their projects. We cooperate on this challenging project with our colleagues from other ELIXIR nodes.

Effective stewardship of data is a critical precursor to making data FAIR. The goal of this paper is to bring
an overview of current state of the art of data management and data stewardship planning solutions (DMP).
We begin by arguing why data management is an important vehicle supporting adoption and implementation
of the FAIR principles, we describe the background, context and historical development, as well as major
driving forces, being research initiatives and funders. Then we provide an overview of the current leading
DMP tools in the form of a table presenting the key characteristics. Next, we elaborate on emerging common
standards for DMPs, especially the topic of machine-actionable DMPs. As sound DMP is not only a precursor
of FAIR data stewardship, but also an integral part of it, we discuss its positioning in the emerging FAIR tools
ecosystem. Capacity building and training activities are an important ingredient in the whole effort. Although

Summary
This thesis continues on an already running project of Data Stewardship Planning Portal which is developed together with ELIXIR-CZ organization. The thesis shortly summarizes a current state of the project. Further it describes why there was a need to create a migration tool for the current knowledge model (an extensible data structure carrying the knowledge that naturally evolves over the time), and why it was decided to implement also bases of the portal application. The migration tool and portal application are then analyzed. A part of the thesis is also a design of the migration tool together with possible approaches of its implementation. These approaches are discussed and finally one is choosen and implemented. The result of this thesis is the requested fully-working migration tool together with bases of the portal application.

Summary
The thesis goes through the process of design, development, testing and deployment of the client-side web frontend for the Data Stewardship Portal which is part of the Interoperability platform at ELIXIR CZ project. The portal includes extensive Knowledge Model Editor and Migration Module. Haskell-based solution is used for the web development.
