In recent decades, the research community has been dealing with a growing amount and variety of new research data and derived research information. While primary research data, as derived from instruments, are commonly well maintained, derived research data might not always share the same fate. Scientific studies, resulting in further derived data, what we will call here as research data, does not often share the same attention. Fortunately, in the planetary sciences, most primary research data are commonly freely accessible for researchers to use, while research results have commonly not been re-inserted into the research cycle and a discussion about the process has only recently been initiated but there are not concrete methods or efforts to maintain this derived research data. We here discuss the requirements and needs in the planetary sciences to develop and coordinate a platform for research data and develop this idea using planetary cartographic products as an example of a higher-level research product that undergoes various development stages across different organizational levels. We here will visit the current practice and provide a number of scenarios showing how such a research-data life-cycle could look like in the field of planetary research. In order to develop a conceptual framework, experience from established terrestrial research-data frameworks and spatial data infrastructures are integrated into the discussion.

近几十年来，研究界一直在处理数量和种类越来越多的新研究数据和衍生研究信息。虽然源自仪器的原始研究数据通常得到很好的维护，但衍生的研究数据可能并不总是具有相同的命运。科学研究，产生进一步的衍生数据，我们在这里称之为研究数据，通常不会受到同样的关注。幸运的是，在行星科学中，大多数原始研究数据通常可供研究人员免费使用，而研究结果通常不会重新插入研究周期，并且最近才开始对该过程进行讨论，但没有具体的维护这些衍生研究数据的方法或努力。我们在这里讨论行星科学的要求和需求，以开发和协调研究数据平台，并使用行星制图产品作为更高级别研究产品的示例来开发这一想法，该产品在不同组织级别上经历了不同的开发阶段。我们在这里将访问当前的实践并提供一些场景，展示这种研究数据生命周期在行星研究领域的样子。为了开发一个概念框架，来自已建立的地面研究数据框架和空间数据基础设施的经验被整合到讨论中。
